I would like to the the pictures... I just got two bottles of the WT 86.8 in Tucson Saturday...

My hust was far less than yours... 2 TWs 86.8s and a WT 2000 Kentucky Spirit.

I did leave two Old Grand Dad 80 proofers from the 80s... Anyone think they are worth getting?

Spun,

The 86.8 is a good find. The Old Grand Dad not so much so; at least in regards to what I can find. D.C. is chalk full of Old Grand Dad 86 proof. Pretty much any store I walk into has it from the ND era.

Stepped into DC yesterday while Spun_Cookie was in town. I'll let him post his findings.

My finds were a 1983 KY Gentleman 80p, 1982 Old Grand Dad 114 and two Old Fitz BIB's from DSP KY-1. I had been wanting to find some of the Fitz from Bernhiem so glad I found it.
