    I get calls for allocated bottles because of my purchase history. The higher your purchase history the more likely you get the hard to get bottles.

    Finally cracked my Weller Full Proof store pick. Kicking myself for waiting so long, so good.

    Funny thing is I found it 3 weeks into my whisky addiction. Almost passed it up because it was $55. Crazy to think about now.

    Was luck enough to pick up this allocated for VA ABC Elijah Craig, this is a first for me.

    This one is interesting to me because the label says it comes from a private barrel selected for Virginia ABC. I didn't know they did that! That means I cannot get that same bottle anywhere else but Virginia.

    True and I don't think i have ever seen any allocated bourbons specifically for VA ABC, but i did see others being allocated for other states. ABC is a state owned so its very unique to me and had to spend the $ to get it.

    Yeah I've never seen a state abc get a barrel selection either. But that label is proof that's what happened here. The only way you could get one of those bottles would be to have someone from VA get you one.

    I had not tried any Barrel products as there are so many to choose from and usually around 90 bucks. At $49 for this and good word of mouth I tried it, it's a pretty good sipper, sweet mild palate but no finish.

    I flet like that bourbon didn't have enough flavor profile in it from front to back. Which for me comes out as flat. We did a single barrel of it and it too lacked a finish. Maybe that's just their thing, sweet and mild.

    Definitely not complex, may be a good one to get someone started on.

    Picked up a 2oz sample of 2011 Birthday Bourbon. Saving it for my birthday in June. Really looking forward to this one.

    It's my favorite release by a large margin. I was a little disappointed in the 20 but 22 & 23 have been very good.
