What should i purchase out of the following:

[Andre28]

I have some vouchers that need a spending at a particular store. Some of the better drops on offer are:

Woodford Reserve

Bakers

Evan William SB 2000

Wild Turkey 12 year 101

JD single Barrel (more pricey)

Buffalo Trace

I believe there may be a WT rare breed as well, but try as i might i just dont think im a fan. Im not sure if this rules out the 12 year also (never tried it).

Any standouts here?

[Special Reserve]

Is this a trick question?

WT12 is so superior to the others I'd get as many of them as possible. What's their price and the behind this?

If you can get WT12 you're a lucky guy.

Good luck.

Yep... WT 12 is the choice by a long shot...

I'll echo the WT 12 choice. The stuff is hard to find around here and is truly superb.

[weller_tex]

Wow WT 12 year? Lucky, lucky. Go for that for sure. For what it's worth, Baker's is good stuff to me. Best of the Beam Small Batch IMO.

[p_elliott]

Buy all the WT 12 year they have!!

Not to intentionally thread hi-jack, but what's the difference between WT 12yr and WT American Spirit 15yr? I had never heard of the 12yr before and there didnt seem to be much love for the 15yr.

[Jonny.Applebury]

The Wild Turkey American Spirit is bottled in bond. That's one difference.

I'm sure others will chime in, but in a nutshell, the 12 was better.

I have 3 bottles of WT 12 yr split label and it's fantastic I buy every bottle I can get my hands on. It has a nice woody taste to it. It's not made any more It's great stuff. I have a bottle of the WTAS I like but I'm not sure I like it better than than the WT 12 yr split label but I'm glad I have it.

Like OX said every bottle is a learning experience.

Since things like OGD have left me dissatisfied (to be polite), I tend to shy away (OK, completely avoid) things with a High Rye content. but I have to admit, hanging around here has me rethinking that and making me want to pick up some up and give it a try.

LoL, Ibam in agreement about OGD. There are a number of uncomplimentary descriptors I could provide for that product. It actually ruins coke, if that's possible.

In regards to high rye content, have you tried any rye whiskeys, such as Rittenhouse RyeBIB?

[Andre28]

lol ok cheers guys. Let me hope it hasn't sold out in the last 2 weeks then! Is it similar tasting to Rare Breed though?

FWIW i am in Sydney Australia, so this must be quite a rare thing when it seems so hard to get in the US!

[Brisko]

Hah, you're in Australia....we all thought you were talking about the now-extinct US version.

I'm sure the export-only version you're seeing is good but I don't think it's as good as the old stuff.

IMO this does not change anything other than it's a 700 mL bottle.

Do you think its the same juice, or that even if it isnt its still better than the other options?

Fair enough. I suppose ill get it then, its not the end of the world if i dont love it, i still have a few more vouchers stashed away!

[Andre28]

So i bought the 101 12 year and had a little tipple. It doesnt have that sweetness i like, but i think that is to be expected from WT. It almost tastes like a scotch to me, although smoother at its 50.5% than many scotch blends at 40%.
