thebes Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 A full pipe. That's 130 gallons for you chump changers who buy wine by the bottle. Laid down during the reign of Napoleon, concentrated distillation will have shrunk the actual quantity to approx 90 gallons. For pick up only. Held in my cellar, hard by my main2 Channel system. Inform me in advance and I will have your favorite opera cued up and awaiting your arrival. Oh, please ignore the pile of bricks by the back door, I'm having a little remodeling done.

CECAA850 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Tempting. Pics, price location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 OK. One of these doesn't come up everyday. I'm setting my price at $2,700 but will entertain legitimate offers. Low ballers will be dealt with. Location is right outside of DC but not all that far from Baltimore, if you get my drift. Here's a pic. Its the far right cask on the top shelf. Sorry about the poor quality picture, but the lights not good down there and I kept being buzzed by a raven, of all things, while taking the picture.

Tremors Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 130 gallon barrel! Never heard of such a thing, but guess I just don't know cause it sounds unrealistic...we sell good amontillado sherry at my work for $5 a bottle (public price) because we buy in quantity. School me, why would one buy an unnamed, unbranded barrel, for $7.50 per bottle? I'm not playing ignorant, I'd like to know what makes this special. Thanks.

billybob Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Bristol Cream blue bottle Amontillado is passable but, the sherry *thebes has may be worth more. Certainly,I just got the drymouth thinking about it. If I were closer, I would consider the offer. Per cask that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 A rarity but still unclaimed. Awaiting that special person. Come now my friends in Garage Section. We may have argued in the past, but don't let that stand in the way of a great deal. Your boldness will be amply rewarded. I remain optimistic of a sale. After all I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Do you think my Chevette is big enough for the rear end of the cask not to show out of the rear. Travelling through states where they may covet my find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
