Yep that's the one and at a whopping 141.8 prf you'd never know.
Also you said that night that you did not like wheaters but you liked Stagg's BTAC Brother William Larue Weller(125.3prf).

Correction: He said he preferred rye-recipe to wheaters, not that he didn't like wheaters.

Actually, Oscar was right. I said I really didn't like wheaters until I tried a couple at our sampling. I also never tried them "up" - always on the rocks. I could really taste the flavors better without the ice. I still prefer the rye's, but will now have a more open mind when trying a wheater. I also remember commenting on how mild the alchohol kick was with the Stagg compared to a high proof bourbon like bookers.

thanks! it's a treat to have this bottle to nurse through these snowier days. i am waiting for the weekend to do my tasting notes. initial sips last night confirm this will be a pleasure ... and a sad day it is emptied
