The finest bourbon I have tasted. Yet.

[Grange]

I picked up a bottle of Maker's Mark Cask Strength tonight. For the price I think this is a really good bourbon. I can definitely tell it's a wheated bourbon and being cask strength it's got a lot of flavor.

huh yeah people rave about that juice. kinda surprises me tbh - i never thought much about normal maker's, but apparently the cask strength is where it's at. i'll keep an eye out for it, i absolutely love wheaties.

The whiskey lottery has been good to us lately. And I had a special occasion come up so we opened something I’ve been stashing. The EHT single is pretty good.

Had a good one last night

I tried the new Bob Dylan Heavens Door maybe? Pretty smooth. Vanilla notes. Nice overall.

That Weller line up is really nice.

^^^ Sho nuff! Needs a bottle or three of 12y tho!

Been hearing some rumblings about getting a barrel of full proof this winter. Damned dirty covid kept them from sending samples to choose from but they said they'll find us a peach...

I poured some WSR last night. I have a bottle of OWA and W12 too but I’d already had a few Oktoberfests at the taproom so I saved the good stuff for a fresher palate.

^^ I need to do a TR/review of the bottles I picked up from stapes - some fucking killer stuff. I also am 100% down to share sample bottles with other mags - here is what I got:

old weller special reserve
elijah craig small batch b517 (!!!)
stagg jr
rebel yell 10 single barrel

i'd be down to send samples, and i will follow thru with a review/thoughts, because goddamn that ECSB b517 is easily the finest bourbon i have tasted (yet). no joke.

but - on to the weller love fest, i made a pimento dram old fashioned from OWA last night and it was the tits. here's the recipe:

1.5 old weller antique
.25 pimento dram (allspice liqueur)
.25 burnt sugar syrup
dash ango
muddled orange

i just love weller.

Damn!! So 200 bottles or so (give or take based on the angel's share)? Sign me up!

On another note, been enjoying Smoke Wagon lately. Need to find more uncut-unfiltered as it's not going to last past the end of the month. Their $30 bottle is also pretty impressive for the price.

My main bourbon goal this year is to score a msrp bottle of the Weller Full Proof.

Just had a bottle of the HWY61 blend camping this weekend, I thought it was fantastic! Pricey, but will definitely buy again!

I’d definitely buy one if it crosses my path at retail. But I’m not going to stand in line or chase one down. Too much good whiskey is readily available for that.

this x1000

it's good, but not "pay five times retail" good.

That’s why I wrote msrp. My LLS holds a drawing every year for their allocated bottles, purchase at retail. Their WFP goes into the drawing. Last year I drew for a sweet bottle of George T. Stagg.

[Conundrum]

That’s where our full proof came. Better half scored it and picked it. Said it was $50ish.

[tgapp]

well, if any of you guys score, i would def trade for a sample bottle and make it worthwhile. i doubt utah will have any such lottery, but i'll keep an ear to the ground just in case.

[grskier]

Weller 12 is still the star of that lineup to me.

I'll have to post a pic of the latest haul. Buddy has been on a hunting mission and is sending a few pours of everything.

[grskier]

Jefferson Presidential 16 and the Houston 14 are a few gems.

Weller full proof is my favorite bourbon, but finding any Weller near me is next to impossible. The last bourbon I picked up a month or so ago was Maker's Mark full proof and I was pleasantly surprised. Regular Maker's Mark is a decent bourbon and has always been heavy cherry notes to me, but the full proof is much more complex.

[schindlerpiste]

it's getting to be that time of year again.

Sober October?

PIcked up some Jefferson's Double Oak. Pretty good stuff, of course, rather strong oak flavor.

[BmillsSkier]

For some reason we are swimming in Weller around here, which is good. I just wish I could nail down some of these other sought after fall releases.

[Phall]

Ouch. Long cry from the $45 price tags I was paying for 107 5 years ago. Bought the handle of special reserve because I couldn’t resist.
