I agree completely. In fact, I've never been as enthusiastic as others are about this expression -- but it seems like the second half of the bottle is always MUCH better than the first . . . I'm...

mah bayud . . . small batch collection? duh . . . I've been away too long . . . :rolleyes:

I've had Booker's that I thought was delicious and thoroughly enjoyable and then I've had the liquid fire on other occasions. In my experience these differ greatly from barrel to barrel, thus...

Ummmmm . . . I guess I fall in the middle, too . . . since there aren't many rye options (especially up here) I always like to have some Ritt BIB stashed when I can find it, but I like both the WT...

The only bottle of this I ever got was in CT . . . I can't for the life of me remember where, though . . . somewhere north of Waterbury, I think, but I'm only guessing. I know I ate at a great...

I've only had one bottle of FC in my time, but I enjoyed it quite a bit, and to reiterate, especially for the $16 I paid.

I can't get it around here or I'd probably have some around -- I liken it...

I have to agree that the Binny's Weller 12 is, simply put, one of the finest bourbons I have ever tasted at any price or age.

Weller 12 can be found in Massachusetts intermittently for between...

I think this stuff is pretty "meh". I would rather spend an extra $5 and get something I really like. I did the same side-by-side as Hansell (with a friend) of the EWB & the new Old Crow Reserve. ...

I have only had the AA BIB which I think is a fine whiskey for the money, but unremarkable . . . it IS cool to have a BIB from BT, though.

Although I have only seen it here once, AA is listed as...

Man, I can't think of anywhere, but if you find some let me know, I'd love to score some myself.

To make this thread slightly more palateable:

Thought this was interesting from an historical standpoint.

Bourbons use at least 51% in the mashbill by law and then a little barley and what is called a "flavor grain", which is typically rye or, less commonly, wheat. When Maker's started in the 50's, the...

Most likely because you said you enjoy Maker's which is a wheated bourbon and Weller Antique is also a wheated bourbon . . . he's making a recommendation based on what he knows of your taste.
...

What is ironic (and quite comical, though you couldn't have known) is that you just asked perhaps the biggest Wild Turkey fan on the site if his drink of choice was any good.
:slappin:
But, yes, I...

Yeah, what Ben said. Personally, I don't care for the ORVW 10/107 . . . it's good, but uninteresting, and at $40 I expect more . . . also, I've heard tell that a lot of the ORVW juice is from...

Ok, I'll play by the rules :grin:

1. Buffalo Trace (knocks the socks off more expensive bottles)
2. Old Weller Antique (the best value wheater out there)
3. Wild Turkey 101 (not as good as...

yeah, especially if you like Lot 'B' a lot . . . but it can be found for cheaper.

Yeah, man . . . you have a good list going there . . . I agree with just about everything on it (although EC12, once my favorite, has been notoriously spotty). Four Roses Yellow Label is excellent...

I've only had one bottle of Weller 12, but it was fantastic . . . I have another regular bottle and two Binny's bottles in the bunker.

I thought it was very close to on par with either the Lot...

I'll absolutely second Joe's comments here -- I've been enjoying a newly opened bottle for a few days now. I describe the underlying sweetness as "toasted marshmallow" and I really think that this...

Giving this one a bump for the newbies . . .

Welcome! Enjoy the board, post often, ask questions, chat when you can.

peace.

Hi Jeff, good talking with you last night -- hope you get your mitts on some of that Van Winkle rye -- it is really excellent. Post often, ask questions, have fun . . .

Wow -- thanks for posting those pictures -- that was very cool!

Welcome to the board! Post often . . . I don't think it matters which of those you open first -- I have a feeling you'll like either one better than Booker's!
