    Placed my first on-line hooch order.

    Man, so many fairly common bottles that I'd really like to sample, but our selection out here in fumbuc is pretty limited. So....

    I've been wanting to try the Weller Antique and its only $21 per 750ml. Not available here.

    I've really been wanting to try the Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel. $28, but not on our local shelves.

    I've really, really been wanting to try Blanton's Single Barrel. $49, but never seen here in the wild.

    So screw it, I'll just order em. Did get hit $23 for shipping tho.

    Good for you, Jefe! Caskers only charges $10 for first bottle and $2 for each additional.
    Not the selection of a regular store, but some interesting stuff, at times.

    Howdy, Stan.

    You know Viking brought up Caskers a couple of weeks ago. I looked at their site but that was about it.

    Have you ordered from them?

    You got 3 winners there for sure. Of the 3 I think the Lee is my preference by just a smidge.

    On a side note; are you now switching your avatar daily?

    Yes, I have. And they just came out with a Col. Taylor Rye today, but it says they don't ship to Florida,
    so I emailed them and asked if that was something new.

    I'll go check it out. I kind of soured after I got burned by a guy on a humidor. I said some things in open forum and mods just deleted my post.

    okay, I'm sitting here compiling a list of what I think my next order will be. Obviously these are all bottles I can't buy here in fumbuc.

    This is what I'm thinking:

    Ancient, Ancient Age 10 year bourbon.

    Very Old Barton 6 year 100 proof.

    Blanton's small batch.

    I've never seen AA10 or VOB6 around here, either.
    They get a lot of good run and they are not expensive at all, are they?

    Yep, the AA10 and my namesake are inexpensive and not seen much outside of Kentucky.

    Okay, just placed this order: 4 bottles (750ml) of Ancient Ancient Age 10 year. and 4 bottles (750ml) of Very Old Barton 6 year 100 proof.

    Buy it cheap stack it deep! Where I placed this order was the only on-line vendor who still had the AAA-10 year in stock. Everybody else either had the 10 star or the entry level 4 year 80 proof.

    Interesting bit of info, the Ancient Age is the same juice as Blanton's. Allegedly the best goes into Blanton's, then comes the 10 year, then 10 star then entry level stuff. The 10 year is now out of production. Anyone care to guess why?
