2016 Stagg is a good one, over 140 but it's actually not too hot to handle, great flavor.

I've been scouring the depths of the first 5 pages of Google for a place that has Weller Antique 107 for even a reasonable price. Does anyone have a go-to online retailer that isn't in the stratosphere (above $100!) for this stuff? I can find Weller SR all day where I'm at and have a bunch of bottles, but there is only one retailer in my area that sometimes gets it (randomly one bottle here or there). I'd really like to find it but don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it. There are several other bottles I know I'd enjoy for that much money.

^^^ Sadly, it’s impossible for any retailer to maintain stock of OWA107 at anywhere close to MSRP nowadays. I finally scored a couple of bottles in the current format recently. Which is what, a couple years since the bottle shape changed??!!?? Thankfully, had been able to stock up on a decent number of the prior, squat format bottles, before the MSRP had gone up.

Some good news regarding Weller products in general, they are moving to corks for all their bottlings. Currently the 12, OWA and SR all have screw caps, but the CYPB, and soon to be released FP have corks and soon the other bottles will be following suit.

Consider yourself lucky you can get Blanton's SFTB or Gold, we don't get that here. I don't know why Buffalo Trace won't put that stuff in a 750 ml bottle and sell within the US (US Law prohibits 700 ml bottles from being sold at retail, for some reason; yet another dumb law that makes no sense). I enjoy my Weller SR when I can find it for under $30 a bottle. At 90 proof, it's a little light, but easy to drink. I have even been known to mix it 1:1 with Old Granddad 114 to make a Four Grain mixture at 102 proof. |

I hope so! Thanks Nice, great gift Quote:
Lagavulin 16 is just more mature, you get the peat and smokiness upfront and then it gets warm and sweet for a long time. Lagavulin 16 is my favourite Scotch |

Wow, Bas, you like drinking campfire smoke, don't you???
I like the Oban 14, it was my dad's favorite; not overly smokey and has a good balance between the Islay and the Highland styles. I keep seeing the 18 year Oban on the shelves for about $90 and think I might need to pick it up to try it out. I've heard the Little Bay is quite good, as well. I've got their 2015 15 Year Master Distiller Selection that I save for special occasions. |

Not much Oban for sale here, only a distillers edition and the 14. I will post my thoughts of the 14 once I've tried it. I'm very curious since I mostly only drink Islay scotch. |

Got these delivered today, looking forward to popping the New Riff BiB. Unfortunately had to pay slightly under secondary pricing for the Weller Antique 107, but I can’t find it anywhere in my area.
