    Huge Fan of the Ola Dubh Reserve series. I've had an almost impossible time finding anything rarer than the 18 year reserve =(.

    Ah! Yea. I've been able to find the 12, 16, and 18 pretty readily. It's the other reserves (not sure of all, but there's definitely a 30 and a 40). Not sure how crazy rare those are released. I was googling it one day, and saw someone in Michigan mentioned that they were "sitting on the shelf," but that no one purchased them because they were exceedingly expensive. I wish I knew someplace where they were sitting.

    Let me know if you ever need any of the 12, 16, or 18. I only have 18 on hand, but I'll do whatever I can to help you out.

    Thanx man, much appreciated, I know they also have a 21yr but I never see that one around. I am able to get them around here, but it is few and far between. I can't even imagine what a 40 yr would cost! Yikes!

    It's interesting that you mention Three Philosophers. I have some 2001 Three Philosophers bottles purchased at Ommegang prior to the quad's initial commercial release. Would you like to try it?
