LTB Good Bourbon

Shot in the dark but if any drinkers here see and Weller Full Proof or 12 year at a TN liquor store could you drop me a message?

Thanks!

Good luck, special reserve is almost impossible in my area .

 

[Don'tDrinkTinks]

I also have other bottles I would trade with cash if anybody has some laying around.

I have several bottles of special reserve.

That's quite the expensive bottle, if I looked it up correctly

Not if you find it at the right places… few and far between but some stores don't mark them up 1000%.

I'd let you know where 12 year is in a heartbeat. Last time I had a bottle I gave it away. Now if you are referring to WLW as the "full proof" bottle, I would not part with that.

 

[Don'tDrinkTinks]

Would def take a lead on the 12 year.

I'm looking for the blue label full proof. I believe your referring to the barrel proof 17 year bottle which I would love to have but I know that ain't happening.

 

[jb3]

Gotcha.

Message me exactly what you are looking for. We have a store here that is nothing but and he prides himself on stocking certain things.
I know in one cabinet there are some $250-$350 dollar bottles!
It's worth a shot.

There are a few secondary groups in mid tn on Facebook. Most are still in lock down due to fear of being reported. Should be some over in Memphis too - I just don't know their names.

Thanks for the help fellas!

Just saw the same story. Seems some people have entire days available to dedicate to sitting out waiting on booze in some areas. I guess covid stimulus and quitting your job can have benefits

Alot of flippers have free time. The ones who really get people riled up bring some fillers with them in order to get more bottles when released. Not uncommon for flippers to pay someone to sit in line for or with them when they don't have anything else better to do.

Probably been 6-7 years since I've been to a drawing, but I remember seeing a women get drawn and her husband walked up to the counter with her and told her which bottle to pick. Similar to a duck blind drawing.

I despise the ones buying just to sell at an inflated cost. It's a free country and more power to them but it makes it hard for the guys like me who just enjoy bourbon. I won't sell any of my bottles unless it's to a good friend who just wants a special bottle for a special occasion. I also love giving my buddies tastes of stuff they probably never have ever again. The simple things in life haha

Same here.
It's a free country and I believe in capitalism but if people would quit buying at inflated cost, well, you know....

We need a Bourbon thread… I may start one in the General Forum tonight.
