in the same vein as the PVW madness, so too is the weller madness. and I am not talking about BTACs but the no longer found on the shelf weller special reserve, 107 and 12yo.

I lived not far from the Willet distillery so would go down pretty regularly and pick up their more aged releases. Funny, when I left KY you couldn’t even get Weller SR, which is an ok rail bourbon but not much else. It’s easier to find allocated bottles in MA than it is in KY.
I do miss the days of PVW sitting on shelves, REALLY good 4Roses picks, aged Willet bottles that weren’t priced 100$ a year, and going to yard sales and buying old stashes. It was fun while it lasted...
