What year BTAC?

[panzer]

I need some help, fellow bourbonites. I recently lucked into 3 bottles of the BTAC (Weller, Stagg and Saz) that I think are all from the Fall '06 collection, since the Saz says Fall '06 on the label , but I'm not sure about the other two. They were bought and shipped to me so I didn't see them on the shelf.

The Weller label says it's 121.9 proof and the Stagg label says 131.8, my only clues. Are they also Fall '06?

I'm sure this is posted elsewhere, but can't find it, so sorry for asking.

The first to get tasted was the Weller. Wow! You're all right about the smoothness. Unbelieveable for a "high octane" pour. Shared with a friend who liked too. The good thing is my wife has not developed a taste for straight bourbon, she prefers it mixed. I use EW 1783 or WR for that, leaves more of the good stuff for me!

Yeah, I too wish they would put an annual date on the antique releases. The uncut/unfiltered versions don't have them.

The Weller for '06, which I recently bought (and aquired the BT letter to go with it, as well as the Stagg for last year) are of the following proofs:

Weller 129.9 proof

Stagg 140.6 proof.

It seems you have earlier versions.

Good finds! The Stagg is the Spring 2005 lot B release. I am not 100% on the WLW but I think that it is 2005 as well.
