I just wanted to show off....

[mred]

Awesome!!!

[TNbourbon]

Scott, if I had an outfit like that, I might show off more of my bottles instead of drinking them. The good news is that I'm able to drink away my sorrow at not having an outfit like that...:skep:

[camduncan]

I've never been a big fan of WT, but Scott's collection definately inspires me to put together a few bottles. (btw, it's even more impressive in person!!!)

Scott, you should post a pic of your JD collection whilst you are at it

[Pastor Bourbon]

Sure bests my pantry shelf

[tango-papa]

Wild Turkey Tradition (this came from Germany, 101 proof NAS. dated 1996)

Wild Turkey 17yo (Japan only, 101. That is pewter on the bottom and on the stopper!)

Wild Turkey Kentucky Legend 101 (Also from Germany. Dated 1993)

Wild Turkey Kentucky Legend SB Barrel Proof (Japan release 109.8 proof? kinda hard to read)

Wild Turkey Master Distiller Selection (Japan only 14yo 107 proof)

Might you know if any of 'these' bottlings are still available?

I'm particularly interested in the 17 year old... I likes me some Pewter!!!

Well, the Master Distiller looks like a good one too!

Oh, and the Barrel Proof, yeah the barrel proof is probably a good one!

And, and, and...

Oh man, now I'm really thirsty...:slappin:

The WT 17 can still be found, but comes at a price. There's only been 1 bottle on ebay for the last 12 months, at the low low price of US$680. I have got a few bottles from this seller, and he has been great to deal with. I did not purchase my 17yo from him, I certainly didn't pay that price. He currently has a few other bottles listed, including a Tradition and some Master Distiller Selection. I think I got his last barrel proof KY legend, and I haven't seen one since. He did have a KY Legend 101 until recently, but someone snapped that up. He seems to get stuff all the time, so if you are interested, keep an eye on his stuff. I have even seen him list a WT Stampede and Heritage.

Scott

Hmmm,... I wonder who that could have been?

BTW it looks great with the rest of my flock. :grin:

[doubleblank]

Nice WT collection.

For those who haven't seen a Stampede, here's a photo. Comes in a 500ml bottle with the ceramic closure like a large Grolsch bottle. 105 proof.

Randy

PS.....Sorry Scott, I only have one.

[HighTower]

I saw an empty one on ebay once in the UK, and it went for 0.99P

Why did I not buy it? Stuffed if I know.

Nice bottle Randy!

I've never seen that one either...

Scott and Randy,

"Da two a yutes" have my thanks for the Wild Turkey enlightenment you have bestowed upon us! Those are indeed some really neat bottles!

Randy, is that Stampede something from a DFS and/or Duty Free special bottling or was it something once available here? As always, just curious about these neat bottlings.

~tp

[doubleblank]

I think it is a Japan release. I traded a Freedom to Koji for it years ago.

BTW, the Freedom ranks right behind Tribute as my favorite WT special relase. Jimmy Russel says many of these specialty bottlings are from their marketing dept. The DF shops and WT marketing dream up a new package and he has to fill it. IOW, he's not too fond of many of these unique bottlings. He does like Tribute and has a funny story behind the selection of whiskeys for it too. He didn't know he was picking special barrels for a "tribute" to him.......he was told it was a 150th aniversary bottling.

Randy

PS......We do need to get Scott a cheesy gold foil label 12yo for his collection.

I concur - have one and will be picking up 2 more soon that I recently located - one in pristine condition, still wrapped in tissue and in the tube.

I reckon the tube would look good in Australia, eh?

What say you Scott? Cheesy gold label for your flock?

Great idea Randy!

Hell yeah, I'd love one of them if you can lay your hands on it and are willing to trade. I'm sure we can come up with something. Any Australian releases you want??

I can still get RR 101 here....in plentiful supply. They sent the last batches of it to Australia.

Thanks for the thought!

Scott

[Brennan77]

Wow...great collection and great cabinet. I'm especially impressed by all the Wild Turkey-ism going on in this thread. I wasn't aware of half of the bottles mentioned. Rock on!

[HighTower]

Freedom ranks right behind Tribute as my favorite WT special relase.

Cam has an open bottle of Freedom, and was kind enough to let me try some, and I must say I prefer Kentucky Spirit. I haven't had the pleasure of trying the Tribute, if I can get another I will open the one I have here to sample it....but I don't like my chances. If I win lotto Victor might end up getting $160 for a signed bottle:lol:

Besides the Gold Foil there is another bottle that you may want to look out for.

Released in the early '90's one known as "The Shadow Label".

It's 12 year old, 101 proof.

Oscar,

Shadow label 12 years old? Never heard of it. Do you have any father information?

All I know about it is the stats. I have never had any, but it has recieved high praise.

I have attached a thumbnail to click on to see what it looks like.

I got the pic off another site, all apologizes to them for this theft and I hope it is OK to post it here on SB.com.

Opps,...sorry Jim.

Here's the link.

No, it's not OK. No harm done, but next time a link would be preferable. Allow me to remind everyone of the rules which you all agreed to when registering an account here at SB:

Thanks for the reminder Jim, I posted a link above in that post.

Very beautiful Scott :grin: :grin: It won't be long that you'll have a few "trinkets" to showcase in there...but then again...a few of 'em you will have to wear and "show off" :grin: :grin: :grin:

Found a "Fighting Cock" bandanna while I was digging thru my stuff to send your way...and a FC tee but it will be too small for your 6' 8" (?) bone structure :grin: :grin: :grin: Still sending it though and one for Cameron :grin:

I know...don't go there! :slappin: :slappin:

What a weird label! Looks more like a damage of some sort.

Anyway, nice collection, Scott. Only let down, of course, by the absence of Cougars.

Alright Cam, you've twisted my arm:lol: that really took some convincing. I have posted them in the "Other American Whiskey" section, just to be fair.

They are here.

Thank you very much Oscar. When I saw the picture I did remember seeing it in some picture before. Maybe on ebay or from the same place as your link
