Yesterday was a good day.
A friend flagged me down on the side of the road when he met me because he had a bottle of Rabbit Hole he had got me for my birthday and hadn't had a chance to come over. Been wanting to try that one.
I had visited my local ABC store on Wednesday to purchase Old Tub so I could try it out. Limited release, Bottled in Bond, supposedly the favorite daily drinker of Booker Noe himself decades ago before it was discontinued. Got two bottles on Wednesday and opened one to try it. Accidentally drank about a third of the bottle and I'm in love. PS: it's only $22.95 and is on the bottom shelf at most locations. For now.
So since it's a limited release (supposedly, we'll see) I went back to my local ABC to make sure I could grab some more before/in case it goes away.
And I did pick up another.
But I like to had a heart attack when I saw Weller 12 sitting on a little cart up front. They had only been open for about 30 minutes and had about 6 or 7 bottles left. It was limit 1 per customer. And supposedly when they first opened up in the morning they had Weller Full Proof, the new Weller Single Barrel, and Weller CYPB in addition to the 12 Year. Hate I missed seeing all that. But I still would have bought the 12 Year.
I'm as happy as I can be! Been chasing the Weller 12 for about a year. Had a chance at one on the secondary market but couldn't stomach $300+.
I despise the govt. control system in NC.
But I must admit, it did make me giggle a little bit to get the #2 bottle on my wish list for retail ($42.95)
