ggilbertva Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 After a long day at work, my goal was to come home, pour something, get a cigar and sit on the front porch to unwind. Just the other day I purchased a bottle of Charter 101 and found it to be almost too sweet for my taste (and it's a rye). Still not a bad pour but then I had a Gary Gillman moment and decided to do a little vatting. 2 parts AAA 10 year and 1 part Charter 101. The outcome was quite terrific. The age and extra proof gave it a buttery, thick mouthfeel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Old Fitz BiB, Handy 2007 and now some lovely Stagg 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3Nut Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Currently some WT101, and will probably hit the OGD BIB after a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 WT AS, 12 export and WLW 2008 yesterday. I am down under half in my AS bottle now but I am still amazed what an untypical Turkey it is. Very, very light indeed. The nose is the best part I think.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshani Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I just picked up a bottle of Weller 12YO/90, a Binny's hand-picked single barrel bottling.Where has this stuff been all my life? Yowza. I think this will nestle in quite nicely with my Weller Antique and my ORVW 10/107.Now if I could just find some little out of the way forgotten store that happens to have a few bottles of Weller Centennial...

RWBadley Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Did a mighty fine tasting- this was actually last night... but I'm still tasting that Old Fitz.... the finish goes on forever:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I had Boones Knoll 16 years (Michters) and the last out of my WLW 2008 yesterday. The first one is quit a bit better than the current Hirsch gold folio I think and the second are absolutely fantastic as long as I keep it away from water. The finish is never ending.

shoshani Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Did a mighty fine tasting- this was actually last night... but I'm still tasting that Old Fitz.... the finish goes on forever:cool:I really wish someone could make something resembling the Old Fitz of yore. Maker's is probably the closest, because they don't use enzymes, they don't use municipal water, they distill and barrel at low proof of which Pappy would undoubtedly approve, and they don't adjust the temperatures in their warehouses. However, being bottled at 90 proof it's closer to Cabin Still than Old Fitz. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tasted it in a while, but somehow the WLW seemed similar to the Fitz. Big, bold and beautiful. I'll have to compare the two in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 WT101, and now some Wathen's. Nice stuff all around. The WT101 is surprisingly good considering I paid $17.49 for a 750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Oscar - I picked up a WT101 last night also and while it's been some time since I've had the current 101, it was better than I remember too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
