Finally found one!

Post image

I never see ANY Weller where I live. There's one place near me that might have some, but they're consistently 15-20% higher than anywhere else around here, so I never even go in there. It's a long way to the full rainbow and I'm sure I'll polish this off before finding any of the others, but that won't stop the hunt!

I found it at the Safeway a few blocks from my house. There were actually 2 bottles. I left one.

The Full Proof is my favorite of the line -- Antique 107 a close second. You're starting off on the right foot, as you go down the rainbow it's all downhill from here. /s

Lol. I'll keep my expectations low. I had an old fashioned in Reno with the 107 and it was one of the best I've had. I can't wait to crack this one this weekend.

Nice! Finally got my hands on one as well a couple months back and have started seeing it actually on shelves lately, but over MSRP. Still a move in the right direction

2

u/NevetsRetrop 1d ago

This one was $80. Still above MSRP, but I'll take it.

u/Upper-Mixture8643 1d ago

I think that is MSRP on these now

u/hammong 1d ago

Full Proof MSRP is $69.95 but the OP's $80 isn't bad!

These have been popping up all over the place here in Austin. Glad they're around, 107 is everywhere also

u/NevetsRetrop 1d ago

107 is what I've really been after

I have a 107 I picked up in Lewiston just sitting on the shelf, it was the only one and didn’t even have a price tag in the store and I drank the CYPB I found in Pullman. That was many years ago though, but it was during the bourbon crisis.

u/CharleyIV 1d ago

Just found one myself.

Now that's a pour worth celebrating.

u/nellyterb 1d ago

Showing up more ad more in Michigan. Have found 2 at SRP love this. OWA as well. And even a 12. No Single Barrel or CYPB yet. Nice to see the healing.

u/Bourrrrrrbon 1d ago

Floor stacks of all Weller (except CYPB) all over CO.

2

u/NevetsRetrop 1d ago

Colorado, huh? That's close enough to justify a little road trip vacation. Lol.

2

u/Bourrrrrrbon 1d ago

Yup! Just sits for a while most places

u/19mils 1d ago
