I 've found something on the net (ebay) for which i would like some info on.
I allready search the net but can't what i'm lookin' for.
Perhaps some of you have an answer.

How rare is this bottle?
When is/was it produced/bottled ?
What are the other items in this series?
And what is a reasonable price for this bottle. Full and sealed.

I have never seen one of these in the USA. This may be an export only kind of thing.

It's the only thing i could find.
So probably a import thing.

These are commemorative bottles, which obviously interest some people, but for those of us whose interest is the whiskey inside, they're not very interesting.

That said, Fred Noe told me they're coming out with one soon that will have all 7 generations on it, with him featured on the front.

I noticed on the larger picture it reads "700ml". This size bottle is used for the export market. Most of the bourbon we see in the U.S. are in 750ml. We also see 375ml and 1.75L, but I have never seen a 700ml in person. I'm wondering if this distillers series is just regular 80 proof Beam with a different label? I think that is what Chuck is saying. I have seen recently Beam's U.S. Military commemoritive label. Makers Mark also does some of this; where they change some of the packaging for a limited time or market.
