Ran out of Weller 12. Sad sad day.
Ran out of Weller 12. Sad sad day.
Well based on Col. Chuck's recent posting on his blog, we all might run out of Weller 12
"You can't claim to have been drinkin all day if you don't start first thing in the mornin."
It's a sad day around these parts. Just finished off a mind blowing bottle of 81' ER 10/101 Lawrenceburg. Sad to see it go as its my last bottle, a very good pour!
I kicked over the lone bottle of WLW '12 I was able to scoop up last year. It stuck around for a few months so that's good. I liked it about 100% better than the '11, though overall it lacked complexity. A really nice caramel sweetness to it, not deep, but certainly sexy. As usual, I poured the last of the bottle through a coffee filter to avoid ingesting the spent barrel char. I know some view this as blasphemy, but though I appreciate the job it does as a bourbon steeper, it's just not something I need inside of me.

Sent a bottle of Weller 12 to its final resting place. 1 more left so I need to restock
PHC Wheater poured its last tonight. RIP.

Opened a fresh one, two others waiting their turn
I polished off an ETL and an EC12 this week, waiting for the ECBP to replace the 12 yr.
Finished off a long open bottle of JB Black label not too long ago. Not a bad bourbon but I doubt it will be replaced.
