craigthom Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Is there a story with those Maker's Mark bottles with too much wax? I saw one a Liquor Barn last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintersway Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 My local happened to have Four Roses Single Barrel on the shelf. So.. picked up a couple. Very excited as this is the first time I have ever seen Four Roses of any kind in my neck of the woods. Will post later in the "What are you drinking today" thread!

luv2hunt Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'm really quite bummed. Went out to buy one of the new WT American Spirits....that people in TN, KY and even MI seem to have ready access to.....and none in Indiana??? What's up with that?? Went to two liquor stores.....and they've never even heard of it! Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phischy Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Dawn,I haven't seen WT American Spirit or RRR out in San Diego yet either. I plan on doing a little hunting this weekend so we'll see what I turn up. I became active in this board a year late and ol Flashpuppy seems to have cleaned out a lot of joints!e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBOmarc Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Did some searching out here at my historicaly relaible stops. Nothing...zero. Did get some folks on the phone though, they wanted to taste it also. Just a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTower Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Is there a story with those Maker's Mark bottles with too much wax? I saw one a Liquor Barn last week.They just overdip them every now and then (I'm sure it's done on purpose) and then they become sought after by people with a wax fetish.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigthom Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 OK, that's what I thought. I'm sure most of us have seen those women dipping the bottles, and I can't imagine them making that kind of mistake. Even if they did, it would be immediately obvious and they could set that bottle aside.I've recently seen some Christmas bottles left over from last year (I assume Christmas, since they have green wax in addition to the red).

mozilla Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I was told that it was every hundred cases or so, they dip one heavy. There have also been alot of bottles colored for NFL and NCAA teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boone Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 The over dipped bottles are called "Grand Slam".OK, that's what I thought.

gothbat Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Greetings from the Netherlands! The other day I picked up com WT101:8yr. So far I'll say I found it pretty surprising in contrast with what I remember of the regular WT:101 they sell back home, it's alot sweeter. I'm going to see about taking a bottle or two of this back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phischy Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I must have visted 15 stores yesterday. I found one bottle of Lot B, but then again, I knew where it was b/c I had left it on the shelf.Otherwise...nothing interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigthom Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Rittenhouse BIB because it's impossible to read SB.com and not find reference to it.I'm planning a little tasting with my brothers when I visit for thanksgiving. I'm saving my pennies for the BTAC, so I bought 200ml bottles of Old Fitz, OGD, and VOB, all BIB. I plan to snag a lot more as I run across them. It's an expensive per-ounce way to buy inexpensive bourbon, but, at $4-$5 a bottle, I can have a greater variety this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to see about taking a bottle or two of this back home.I got a couple of these Wild Turkey 101 8yo age statement, and yes it is very sweet.Almost good enough to be bottled as Kentucky Spirit.I picked them up at the duty free before entering Canada a couple of weeks ago.

Gillman Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I have seen a couple of references on the board to U.S. duty free stores just outside Canada.In the past, I haven't considered shopping there since being in Kentucky reasonably often I can get a very large selection. In fact, I have never been in such a store despite some 35 years of travelling to the U.S.However, I have noted that some bourbons available there are the "international" brands not available in the domestic U.S., e.g., WT 8 (which I like a lot).What else is available there that cannot be found in domestic U.S.? I am thinking that next time when driving, I might stop there to buy at least one bottle. Also, where are they located exactly in the Detroit area? Thanks.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigthom Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I purchased my cheap liter of Talisker at the store on the Canada side of the bridge.These duty free shops are adjacent to the border crossing.Keep in mind that you are only entitled to shop duty free if you spend a minimum of 48 hours in Canada. I'm not saying I (and probably others) have always spent 48 hours in Canada, but those are the rules. You should know this if only so you don't tell the border agent "oh, I just ran across the border to visit the duty free shop!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
