Starting out with VOB BIB tonight.

Opened my first Weller 12 purchase and, after reading many positive reveiws, got right to it. It's every bit as good as reported here on SB. I'm a fan of Weller Antique 107 when I'm just looking for an easy and comfortable bourbon. The 12 is .. for me .. the perfect step up in size. There's a lot more on the entry and the finish with all of the flavors I expected. I picked up two and just might go back for more as there were plenty on the shelf. This will become a regular for me as it's one of the few our lounge doesn't have (for now). Makes me think that a good thread .. if it hasn't been done already .. would be darn good bourbons for $30 and under! This is one for sure.
If you do a little digging you'll find several threads that are about good bourbons in that price range that you can add your two cents to. I agree that Weller 12 and OWA belong on that list, glad you found a new favorite!

Last night it was some AAA 10 year (TPS) and a little WTR 101. Tonight some VWSR Lot B and a little EWSB 2001.
A little vertical of Lot B and W12,really can you go wrong with either one?![]()

Stiff pour of WT 101 as my Muskies choke one away vs. Vandy.
Finishing up on a really...weird...day, with a stiff pour of OGD 114. Dang, is this fine, fine, whiskey. I find it inexplicable as to why Beam sells such a nicely aged, barrel proof, beautifully packaged, lip-smackingly delicious bourbon, at such an outrageously low price...They must really love us...and, I ain't complaining.
Ya know, Beam takes a lot of crap on these boards. But, when I sit down and think about it, they do a heck of a lot of things "right", by us.

4R1B Julio's label OESO. Mmmmm fruity!
And thanks to smokinjoe above, I'm inspired to finish the night with a little taste of OGD 114. I totally agree, I have no idea how something this good sells for so cheap, but I keep buying it and enjoying it!
