Depends on your definition of "makes".

Welcome from a former Central New Yorker.

I've finished about half of my first bottle of this and am somewhat on the fence. It's thinner than I would have hoped and lacks depth, as others have mentioned. But at $17.99 (even before the $10...

Welcome to SB, Wayne!

Welcome aboard! You're in the right place.

I've found some slight variation in different barrels from the same year, as would be expected, but it seems that each vintage is fairly distinct from other vintages. Chuck sums it up nicely...
...

Of the last five vintages, the 2001 and 2002 pale in comparison to the bottles of 2000 and 1998 that I've had. The 1999 is somewhere in the middle.

I'll be using the 2002 in juleps tomorrow. It's...

I would have been happy if the last bottle of Benchmark I had was simply bland and boring. It was offensive.

It was reportedly Stitzel-Weller. Which makes it worth about...

Welcome!

I, too, had a good laugh when Raylan asked Arnett "Is that Piper Van Winkle?"

Ditto. Warm Weller SR is like buttered popcorn on my lips.

That's not a Parker's Heritage, it's this.

The PHC 27 year might be a good idea, and available.

Ray, welcome!



Richard, thanks to you I also have a bottle of the Hibiki 12 (from Mac's). Just let me know when you'd like some of the 17. I'm serious. I was hoping to pick up more 17 and...

Thanks for the welcome, all.

Joe, I work ITP and live OTP (Lawrenceville-Suwanee area of Gwinnett).

I registered quite a while ago and have posted a few times but have never properly introduced myself.

I've been drinking bourbon on and off for over thirty years now, pretty much as soon as I hit...

The Weller 12 quickly became my daily pour. Now that my last bottle is empty it seems that only the Antique 107 and the Special Reserve are available in my area. Still looking, although the 107 is...
