Spring 2012 VW Lot B

[weller_tex]

So what is yall's opinion of the new Spring release Lot B. First time I have had Lot B since 2009. The 2012 is good stuff, but I have a liter bottle of current Weller 12 as well and I am having a very hard time noticing a lot of difference. There seems to be a bit more spicy char with the Lot B maybe a tad more wood, but otherwise very, very close. This bottle of Weller 12 is better than the last bottle I had, so it's not a case of slipping quality with the Lot B but an improvement in the Weller 12.

Is it really a spring 2012 bottling of the lot B? The few bottles of Lot B that I grabbed from this most recent release a week or so ago all had Fall 2011 bottling codes.

On a side note, I do think the Lot B is a little bit better than the current bottle of Weller 12 that I have open. The Lot B seems to be a bit more rich and concentrated. Probably not worth twice as much as the Weller 12 but still some very good stuff.

I have found on multiple occasions that I prefer Weller 12 to Lot B. I have also found the reverse to be similar on multiple other occasions.

There's your answer right there. :cool:

Not versed enough on codes..but I should have said Spring release and not Spring bottling. I agree, good stuff, 2 times>..no.
