Ack. Just looked it up. It was 58. My honey hole had three at MSRP and she couldn’t give them away, for months. I bought one, then traded it since I had a couple other Cigar Blends. Just by chance a couple days later I came across an article about how amazing the 58 was, and I rushed over to the store.I just checked my stash, thought I had 57. One shy, I have a 56.

“Sold both yesterday to a guy who seemed excited.”
$115 for a 10 year 100 proofer...probably gonna skip this one.Any OF 1924 sightings or tasting out there???
Me too!$115 for a 10 year 100 proofer...probably gonna skip this one.
I’ll open this in the Spring to see if Whiskey Advocate knows what the hell they are talking about.

I've only had 10yr store picks and 12yr Farmstock. Both are pricier but good.Can anyone give me a first WhistlePig suggestion to try (lets say anything under $75...however much under is up to you). It's a brand I've been avoiding because there tend to be a stack of options at any store I go into and I never know where to begin! Or tell me nothing is worth it...that's fine too!
can't go wrong with 10 year, I'd have to say that's a good start. the piggy back 6 year is a little harsh for me straight. I've have the 10-12-15 years and have tried the 18. all very good, I tend to stay away from the blends like the farmstock roadstock pit viper etcCan anyone give me a first WhistlePig suggestion to try (lets say anything under $75...however much under is up to you).

I asked my best store about this today. He can get it in late Feb. Things take a while to get to Washington State. Happy to get a bottle for you, but it won't be MSRP. Likely $125ish or more depending on tax here.Looking for a bottle of Old Forester 1924. Not looking to break the bank but I understand it’s hard to find. My father was born in 1924, and I’d like to celebrate with my family on his 100th birthday. He died in 2007 but my mom is still alive. Thanks!
If anyone has an OF1924 for @joepro send it to him on me. I will send you a bottle of better value.Looking for a bottle of Old Forester 1924.

If I find it, it’ll be whatever retail is. My local told me they’d most likely get it next month. I’ll be on the lookout for it for you.I can get a 1924 for around 200. But hopefully one of y’all can find it closer to msrp
