Quickie question - should I pick up 2 bottles of Wellers Special Reserve or 1 bottle of OW Antique?

Can't do all 3 so gotta make a decision.


Whats the price on OWA? I think OWA is my favorite of the 3 regular wellers. I still haven't had WLW. On my target list right now.

Talked myself into a bottle of Balvenie doublewood... $49.99 at BevMo.

Prolly have a glass this weekend.


If only it was $49.99 in Alabama.... only slightly less here than the Caribbean Cask, so I'll usually spring for the extra $7-8.

The Carribean Cask is $75.99 here.

The Glenlivet 18 was $81.99 and I almost got that one. I've had it before and it is damn good. Wanted to get out of the store spending under $100, though... and I already had a bunch of Ayinger oktoberfest pints in the basket. Anxious

What I really wanted was the Balvenie Portwood... just didn't want to drop $220 for it.

Interesting. The CC is cheaper here - I think $69, but the Doublewood is $61 or so.

I could be wrong (would not be the first time) but I believe you will find the CC is less than the Double Wood.




And almost forgot, Woodford Reserve double oak this afternoon.

I will shop the following three for items I can't find at the Class Six store, Pensacola NAS.


Bambooze, 8084 N Davis Hwy, Pensacola, FL 32514
Small, clean, well stocked and friendly, knowledgeable owner. Few blocks north of I-10. Some high end stuff.


Perdido Liquor, 8058 W Highway 98, Pensacola, FL 32506
Large stock, good selection of bourbon, scotch and Irish whisky. Larger selection of high end stuff.


Richey's East, 6895 N 9th Ave, Pensacola, FL 32504
Probably largest overall stock and largest beer selection in Pensacola.


I normally shop at the top two due to their locations (less driving time).

Burner, you ever been to the Jellyfish bar? if so, they still have that sushi mountain challenge? I sprayed rice out my nose pretty hard about 7-8 years ago .... Perdido liquor made me think about it




Oh ya and, smooth ambler cask strength single barrel. 10yr 108 pf I think. A bit tannic but not bad. splash of water opened it up real nice.

Smoke, as stated in #3105, I could be wrong. As it turns out I'm guessing you were referencing 12 yo double wood while I was referencing 17yo. In that case guess one could say we were both right.

Stopped in at Perdido today just to check the Balvenie prices.

12yo Double wood - $54
14yo CC - $64
15yo Sherry Cask - $120
17yo Double wood - $130
21yo - Did not look, avoided

Yup. I go by there 4-5 times each summer, but it's 3 hours from where we stay. He got just one case about 4 weeks ago, and saved me this bottle...
