That brings up an interesting question: What are those bottles that make it to the shelves but are still hard to find that you buy on sight? Right now mine would be Rock Hill Farms, Weller 12, Parker's Heritage, ETL and EC barrel proof.

That's a great start for the non-fall releases...

I'd take Parker's off (price-wise & I still have a POH from last fall), and add the Four Roses barrel proof (I like trying all the different stores' barrels, though many are OESK juice...none in Nola so I have to hunt around).

I'd be worse than sick

This is mighty fine. My first ever pour of any Four Roses product, but it definitely won't be my last.

Great finds!

ETA: And just about any Four Roses product is worth picking up...

There are still handles and liters floating around in Houston, Weller 12 is the one that's tightened noticeably (especially in the bigger bottles).

Out of state unfortunately - in a place with archaic alcohol laws

My guy didn't get any but turned me on to where a couple of bottles "might" have been allocated. My big boss is a huge Four Roses guy so one bottle went to him. I'd love to find another one but with only 24 bottles in state it's going to be tough.

Were you looking for Booker's 25? If so I may know where a bottle is in the wild, but would have to ship it to you...

Has anyone tried the barrel select Four Roses from San Francisco Wine Trading Company? Unc turned me on to them as a source to order Barterhouse.
