Favorite Whiskey?

Weller's has been on my list for a few months now and I finally happened across some Weller's Antique 107. I really like it.

I was worried because I paid $50 for it and the first price I saw was Total Wine saying $30...
Found a site saying that the price has increased to $50 in 2019, and that secondaries are upwards of $80. Phew, don't feel bad now.

 

Nice! I've seen people asking way higher than that for it in other parts of the country. I got mine for $60, so it wasn't too high.

 

I thought the same thing about michters sour mash.... two weeks later I revisited and revisited and thought damn this is good... the bottle got consumed quite quickly to say the least. Now its nowhere to be found. Should have bought more than one...

 

Hell, I'd pay $100 for a bottle of Weller Antique. I really wish SC would allow spirits to be shipped here.

 

Eh, it was a great bourbon at previous year’s retail... Now that it’s retail is $50, not so much.

To me, there is better bourbon out there for less than $50… And much easier to find!

 

True.

I did like it, and since it’s never around, I went back to the store and grabbed a spare. They were down to four bottles left.

 

Before @bvbull200 could respond with insight... I bought both. . And his insight was to buy both

 

Delicious stuff fellas. Blaum and 17 wlw

 

He's not joking. He sent a pic from the liquor store of both batches. I finally got to a red light and responded:



Great minds and all of that .

I'd love to try that Knotted Bourbon. I have had the 2017 WLW and you are so right. Damn delicious stuff. Better than the Pappy 15 and 20.

 

I don't know if I'd say great minds... but we appear to be on similar wavelengths! Probably a good thing we live just far enough apart. I think we would get into trouble and we will soon with @Bigdaddy4760 . already told wife to keep her phone nearby for possible bail...

 

it was my daily drinker until i stopped bourbon during the week. He returns on the weekends though.

 

Pretty much the same... and sometimes the weekends start on Thirst Thursday...

damn! Now I gotta find that!

 

@parsonsjunior , is that your collection? They are going for $2k a set now... missed out I think. Not sure how much more it'll climb in value. That's a risky investment for me now.

 

No it's not mine, unfortunately I only found it today.
There appear to be a few retailers who are selling individual bottles.

 

ha. same. $1995 is a lot of hooch. It is a good sounding mix, but I would want to drink em. too little too late I guess.

 

That is a lot. Retail, they added up to around $500-600, if I recall. Most private secondary transactions are between $700-850 shipped. Stores put huge markups for the "gotta have it now" factor.

A buddy of mine is a HUGE GoT fan and bought them all when they released. I got him the House Lannister and the Night's Watch bottles and he roamed the metroplex for the rest.

 

lemme know if you find them for a fair price! apparently, my friend here has them. he didn't tell me when they came out... some friend
