After not seeing any in a long time, I found one for $79 on Friday.

Wait, Weller Special Reserve and Buffalo Trace are rare finds in NC? Wow, if true. You can find those everywhere in Texas.
I know a few places near me that have Eagle Rare. That's a little harder to find.
I rarely saw either of the two in NC. Eagle Rare was more common at the store in Boone than either of the others.
Generally no problem find Eagle Rare in the Triad and often it is on sale. OWA, Blanton's and BT are rare and most stores I know don't put it out and have a list of customers to call when it comes in.
My local guy keeps all that stuff behind the counter for the rich alcoholics.
Whiskey 4 is likely one known to most here, Bulleit 10 yr (91.2pf). It’s a decent enough whiskey. Lots of wood and lots of spice. I also get orange and vanilla. Fair bite to it as well.
It's fine when it's well-priced, but I have seen some outlandish markup outside of California. You can usually find it at Vons for $35, though.
Whiskey 5 is Kilchoman 2012 Wine Finish (Cask 405) (bottled 2018) (113.8pf). Wine cask was from the Douro in Portugal. This is really pretty good for a 5 to 6 year whiskey. A nice ashy smoke on the nose, but not overpowering peat. Nutmeg spice and fresh fruit from the wine barrel. And the smoke on the nose doesn’t takeover the taste. And nice heat with a spicy finish from the high proof. I like it. Maybe a lot.
Did anyone score any of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection this year? I never saw or even heard of any of my friends even getting a sniff of it.
Hell we have a hard enough time down here getting the pretty good stuff. I can't remember the last time I even had a bottle of Weller in house.
