Hello everybody, My wife's grandfather (who passed in Sep. '00) was a big shot businessman. He owned a couple of successful buisnesses and had a taste for the finer things in life. His wine and spirit bunker filled 4 full-sized closets in his basement. I've raided before last night and scored some crazy scotch and wine in the past. Both times I had to stop raiding when my wife felt I had too many bottles each time. (She has sinced stopped that and has raided it for me a couple of times on her own)
Last night I was asked by my wife's grandmother if I wanted to go and take a couple of bottles since my wife told her about my current obession with my whiskey obession. "YES YES YES" I said.
Here it is folks: Old Grand Dad-4/5-Bottled in 68
Old Grand Dad-quart-Bottled in 71
2- Wild Turkey- 4/5- bottled in 66-8yr
Wild Turkey- 4/5- bottled in 72-8yr
Wild Turkey-quart-bottled in 75-8yr
The dates I'm giving for as bottled are the numbers on the bottom of the bottle. I assume that how you find out the date of the bottling. The OGD has the same number on the bottom of the bottle and the lower left corner of the label
George Dickel Commeriative bottling ( the horn shaped bottle with leather handle)
AND NOW THE GREATEST FIND EVER!!!!!!!
Very Very Old Fitzgerald-12yr- Fall '57-Fall '69 in perfect condition with the red felt bag.
I couldnt beilieve what I found, I opend one of the '66 Wild turkeys and it is out of the world. I plan on bringing one of the OGD's to the Gaezebo (unless someone PM's me with a trade I cant resit) I am also willing to trade one of the Wild Turkeys. PM me if your interested.
Now please let me all know what you think of my score and what the impact of these bourbons are to my drinking enjoyment.
Joe
