sailor22 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Weller 12 at cask strength as per one of the original suggestions. That would be awesome. I am in the minority around here that likes MM, so I would like to see MM at cask strength at 10-12 years. Also OGD 114..not sure how old it is, but maybe just add another 2 years.I would like to taste a honey barrel of MM with more age and more proof also. 12yrs is something like 3 times longer than it's aged now isn't it? Sounds like a lot. As long as we are fantasizing lets get the fellas at MM to let us taste some barrels at +2 +4 and +6:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 12 years is a bit over twice the usual MM aging period but they are seeking a balanced whisky without an overly woody effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 8-10 years old seems to be a sweet spot for wheaters. I'd like to see MM in that range and maybe not even barrel proof. 107 would do. Sound familiar?

As basically all wheaters are descendants of Stitzel-Weller and Pappy Van Winkle(the man,not the bourbon), I'd like to see any of the modern wheaters at 12 years old and 100 proof. It would be sort of a nod to the legacy of Very Old Fitzgerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 One of the reasons Pappy bought the distillery was because Old Fitzgerald was already known as a quality brand and to his credit he continued with the wheat recipe developed by A. P. Stitzel. Pappy certainly made them famous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
