I treated myself to the greatest christmas presents and birthday ever. My birthday is dec 30 so I figured I should treat myself. My theme this year was "Moby Dick", why? Because I scored more white whales for my stash then most of you will believe.
This is the list:
Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 1989-2002 The original bottling
Old Forester Birthday Bourbon Spring 1990
Four Roses Super Premium Export only
Four Roses Single Barrel new U.S. Version
Pappy Van Winkle 20 yo Lawrenceburg bottle
Pappy 23 yo first bottling from lawerenceburg signed by J.V.W. III
Van Winkle 12 yo Lot B from Lawrenceburg
Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 1985 Export only Non Chilled-Filtered 100 proof
Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 yo - old bottle from Lawrenceburg
Van Winkel Old Time Rye 12 year old
Wild Turkey 12 yo, early 90's gold label
Wild Turkey 12 yo mid to late 90's bottle with 2 labels on front
Blanton's Barrel Proof
A H Hirsch 20 yo
Weller 19 yo Fall 02'
Jacobs Well
Henry Clay
Joseph Finch
I wont say how much I spent (unless you PM me and ask) but I will say that I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my bourbon obessesion. I will be opening all of them and trying them all, but in due time. I have gone in the realm of more than I can review because I just keep adding to my stash. I WOULD LOVE POUR A BIT OF THESE FOR WHOEVER CAN MAKE IT MY HOUSE on Long Island. I am teaching my two little girls to share so I should do the same.
Happy New year everybody
Joe
PS if anybody has any remarks about any of these bottles I should know, feel free to let me hear it.
