I really enjoy my V17's, though you need patience. The 2nd half of the bottle is much better than the first.

I found a bottle of Alchemist Heaven Hill. I guess its a barrel from Heaven Hill that was bottled in Scotland. I'm excited to try this one, but I'll have to wait til after Christmas because I'm gifting it.

You can see the bottle here.

Picked up a 1.75L of Weller 12

Interesting. I've never had a bottle of bourbon that was better, or worse for that matter, with the second half.

I, on the other hand, go from better to worse, and back again, on nearly an hourly basis. :D

Is the better or worse dependent on how fast your ice melts? =)

Do bunkered bottles go bad?

Picked up a suweeeet bottle of 4R Marriage 2009. Exciting find for me on the top shelf of store I'm in constantly. If it was a snake ... Really thankful for all the posters on SB who spoke so highly of this one. All you 4R fans get an assist. :lol:
