I got a bottle of the 21 but was underwhelmed (or rather overoaked) and didn't think it was the worth the price... I do hear that they are bringing the 18 yo back but at a much higher price point. If you can find the barrel strength 12 yo give that a try.. very very tasty...

Agreed. Easier to find IME than the Old Weller Antique 107, but still not widely available in VA unfortunately (our ABC stores got some in about a month ago and almost all quickly sold out... don't even ask about the aged Sazerac...)
If you're ever in the Baltimore area and are interested in a bottle, give me a shout... I've got a good amount of the OWA107 because one of my locals has done a private barreling of it twice in the past two years... and I may or may not have purchased a case each time (make a great gift). I hit the Sazerac 6 yo hard during the summers for my manhattans... the 18 yo is extremely difficult to find but the key is to have a good relationship with your local (I think the VA ABC system makes it impossible). My local always takes care of me... what I'm really looking for is a CC that offers bonus spend at liquor stores- I for some reason tend to spend a lot of money there....
