Yeah, usually anything with grapes they have the specific vintage on there. With scotch if they don't list it, sometimes you have to do the math between the listed vintage and the bottling year. Not nearly as cool as having your birthyear on the bottle though

****, that is an awesome bottle. We went through one earlier this year. It is my wife's birth year as well. We recently picked up a '74, which is quite good, but the '71 Gaube is the best I've had. Actually, when we were with Marc Darroze earlier this year, I asked him which armagnac in his cellar came the closest to perfection, and he suggested that one. Said it wasn't close, it was perfect, and since they actually bought the barrels a few years ago from the Gaube people, he was able to say that without any feeling of pride. Enjoy it. I am jealous.Originally Posted by iammatt
Found it:
Kwilkinson almost busted his one nut when he tasted it.
You always have the best stories and it's nice you've been so good to young kwilk. Both my wife and I turn 40 next year so obviously the bottle is for that, but I had heard that this was one of the greatest armagnac's of the century so I had to have it. I know we're going to enjoy it.
That photo of yours is amazing too - I've searched far and wide for vintage calvados but the best I can find is xo coeur de lion... and that is strong stuff indeed.

I know HP, Talisker, Mac and Laga made some bottlings with my vintage, so now it's just finding them, but there are always ways

I bought, perhaps, the last bottle of Schlafly Raspberry Coffee Stout ever sold on the legitimate market. It was produced to be sold exclusively in one store in St. Louis. I went to that store today to pick up some other items and I asked if they had any more of the stout. He guided me to the single final bottle. It is a 750 ml, so I'll have to drink it with friends. I understand it got decent reviews, so I am very excited to try it.

OK so the Campari is nothing but...the rum is a sort of Christmas present I managed to finagle. Look at the pics for more deets...
yes yes!
When I first came across this bottle in 07, I found a lot more info about it on the net. Now I can't find too much. I've had two small samples and that's all I'll be having for quite some time. Bottle number 46something or other for me. Edit: I'm also a cricket fan so this bottle is even cooler to me.

Actually, I'm reasonably certain the Campari is something special -- if it says "colored with natural carmine" on the back then it is a bottle from before 2001, when they switched to arificial coloring insterad of extract from the carmine bugs. See your PM. ~H
