RT FAN Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Stopped into a new for me liquor store, that had a few things on sale, cash only, that were worth the detour. As always I checked the bourbon aisle and there to my surprise was a bottle of Weller Special Reserve. Now this store is in a less than well off area, so I was quite happy to see the Weller, too bad it was $49.99. I left it there, right next to the Weller 12 that was $199.99. Short of someone in the area winning the lottery, they will be there for ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Reserve I paid $24.99 and Weller Antique I think was about $49 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT FAN Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I would gladly pay those prices and then some @BigStewMan This is the first Weller I have seen in a store in the NYC area in years. My supplies are running low, I am down to one bottle of Antique in the bunker! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1101 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I have been going to this place for years and had no idea about the back room being so stocked. She pulled a Weller 12 out in about 10 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would go with 3 of the Pappy's to see if the giant price increase is worth it. 12, 20, 23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
