I bought one of the 20 YO bottles of Costco scotch maybe 3 years ago and it was disappointing, so I’ve been a little leery of them. The thing is, even though the labels from the older releases might have been the same as the current ones they’re almost certainly completely different whiskies. You can kind of tell which ones were phenomenal after the fact because they disappear quicker—I assume because of word of mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been searching hard for willet and can't find anything good. Some of their bourbons go for literally many thousands of dollars...Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, the whole barrel was claimed. Ours is just shy of 6yrs, rye mash bourbon. The one for our charity event was the same but wheated mash. Also, no joke about the thousands of dollars. I bought the C14D and C17D 22yr WFEs back in 2015 for $275, sold one for $1200 on 2017 and now they go for $2200+ on FB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have multiple bottles of each of these, plus four bottles of Cockburns 2016. I was planning on opening a bottle of something with my wife in 2030 and then waiting until 2040 to open a second bottle when my boys turn 21. Beyond that, I was going to try to lay the rest down as long as I can stand (maybe till I’m 65?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is educational to have one now. The Cockburn would be interesting as it's one of the first big vintages since the Symington's took over the brand and had some time to turn things around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cayman17 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I would like to drink more port in the meantime to learn more about it while these bottles mature. It’s funny how a few years of sampling and tastings can change your perspective and help you appreciate the “good stuff” (for lack of a better term) a lot more.

prodigy Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Man, you've been killing it.. It's unreal. I hear so many stories on bourbon forums of people entering lotteries for years and never winning anything. I hope my luck continues, there's still a lot I haven't tried.

I normally would indulge, especially as I've never had this one. I'm saving for a house, hopefully will be buying in June. So if I can take a $100 and sell it for $1000, it feels like a simple decision. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of reviews done by James Halliday in my reading. I didn’t know he was from Australia. Good to know.
