Unfortunately, it's not sold in my neck of the woods so I'll have to pack up and head to another state and nose around for it if I want to try another bottle.

A good OWA is a thing to behold. Sorry to hear about your fallen friend. I'll have a pour of 03 later this evening to honor your loss.

I am about to kill a bottle of OWA tonight. Very interesting notes Sir. I get the dark brown sugar, and the menthol/minty finish as well. Just a hint of burn on the lips to last to the next sip. Absolute joy in a bottle.

Gotta join the weller crowd here- the last of a Weller centennial (the first, and one of few!) was poured into my glass this evening. :(

I'm down to my last two pour of PVW20. I am going through this bottle way to fast. Luckily I have a bunch more. For celebrating a happy Friday, I think I'm going to finish it off later. Perhaps I will swing by and buy a PVW15 and PVW20 to bunker up.

I'd bunker PVW15's at two for the price of one vs PVW20 but that's me...they're both good juice I just tend to prefer the 15 to the 20. :)

Finished a very enjoyable bottle of EC 12.

Sadly, my '77 Yellowstone is now gone. Brown sugar on the nose and one of the tastiest bourbons I've had.

Said goodbye to a Lot B this evening. I had kind of forgotten about this bottle, but once I got back into it last week, it didn't last long.

Finished off a bottle of WTRR 90 last night...man at first I was skeptical about that bottle but switching from crystal to glass GC's really brought the best out of the Turkey! :)

Finished a bottle of Berheim Wheat Whiskey last night. Glad to have tried it, but not something I want again real soon. Anyone know the mashbill? Is this all wheat (or wheat and malted barley)? Any corn or rye in there for flavor? I think a touch of rye might be an interesting variation. I guess I should have tried some personal vattings before I finished it.
