hectic1 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 From what I understand there were no Weller 19 or WLW produced in 2003 or 2004...Weller 19 ran from 2000-02 and WLW from 2005-present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomH Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I noticed the same thing when I was looking at my sheet. Was this the case in years past as well?The BTAC Saz for the last several years (including this year) have come from the same batch that has been stored in tanks.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or can it still change in storage tanks (i.e. Hirsch 16)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Dog Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 So essentially there is no difference between the whiskey in the last several years? Or can it still change in storage tanks (i.e. Hirsch 16)?Many here would say that Saz 18 is changing for the worse while in tank. I've said this before, but I cannot understand why anyone would tank a Rye. Bourbon yes, but not Rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.B. Babington Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Personally, I like this year's saz18. It does have a twang, but I don't get the heavy metal others complain about. It's okay by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay by me.It's not a note of "heavy metal" that I get, but rather a lack of vibrancy that one would normally get from a mature Rye straight from barrel. Saz 18 has the wonderful, underlying character of an old Rye, but with the onset of dementia, where all the parts don't click as they should. Tired and on a downward slide.

B.B. Babington Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 It's not a note of "heavy metal" that I get, but rather a lack of vibrancy ...Well, that I did note. I've not had much experience with saz18, but I do have a 2001 that is OMG wonderful whereas this latest is not up to the same level. Maybe the same thing I've noted with some other premiums which seem more complex on opening but after they've sat a couple years seem to lose a little character. Maybe a volatile congeners issue??? Tanked stuff leaks??? Seems to me a sealed stainless tank would hold better than a wood barrel but who knows... it's not chemistry, it's magic.

Tired of good whiskey going bad sitting in stainless tanks.Just fyi guys, let's try to take tasting discussion to a different thread, this one is supposed to be strictly about info. One of these days I'll get around to cleaning it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbonNOOG Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Can anyone send or post a link to where I can get the fact sheet for the 2010 Stagg? I bought a couple of bottles for someone and he's going to give them as gifts and wanted some information to include about the bottles with the gifts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched this thread and others on the forum and couldn't come up with any of the 2010 sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks for the excellent information. I would assume that the Sazerac 6 yr. has the same mashbill. I am wondering the proportion of the rye (large grain), corn (small grain), and malted barley (finish grain) in Sazerac Rey. I know that the rye has to be at least 51%, but I suspect the % to be much higher.Any insights as to the proportion of the 3 grains?Thanks very much.

Rughi Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 · Hidden Hidden The Saz 18 and TH Handy are entirely differnt mashbills. Different distilleries, for that matter. The history and background of Saz 18 is in here, somewhere. The Saz Jr. 6 yr is from the same mashbill as the Handy, however. And both are BT whiskey. Link to comment
