Old Dusty Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Bam....sounds awesome! I haven't met a Willett FE that I haven't liked.Agreed. Always have one open on the bar. Most I have purchased with some idea of what I was getting-at least wheat v rye mash. But even the couple I have purchased blind have been good value for the money. Especially at barrel proof.

tigerlam92 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Hugh, how would you compare the 133.2 with the first two batches? Hi Eric, I think only us on this site will be able to pick out the differences from the three. I guess I can do a three way SBS but from memory only . . . so not too accurate. Batch 2 (137) is slightly hotter than other but a little more water takes care of that. Everything else is slightly less. Batch 3 (133.2) has a VERY nice nose, full flavor and very chewy. It continues to delight way after it is consumed. Only slight put off for some is it may be more "woody" (I think) than 134.2 which I don't mind at all. Batch 1 (134.2) it just amazed every time I drank it. Very similar to batch 3 but maybe just better overall very marginally. Smooth (with water), in your face with flavor, and chewy all perhaps very slightly less than 133.2 though but also less woody, again very slightly. The secret is the EC GS 129.7 may still be the best. . I did a SBS with 134.2. 129.7 GS > 1 close to 3 > 2 but I pick up any that I see. All three batches are really good no matter how we cut it and my go to pour. For me, this definitely need a good amount of water so makes it a even better buy. Hahaha.

jwacky Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Not feeling well so wasn't going to have anything tonight, but decided that I wanted something tonight, crud-iness be damned. EWSB2003, trying to help the local stores clear inventory so they'll put out the 2004. Really liking this '03 though so I think I'll be stocking up while it's still around.

Harry in WashDC Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Me, too - 4RSmB. Must be something in the air. BTW, Joe, every time I see your label, I itch to open the OWA sitting on my shelf. It's been untouched while I work through some already-opened bottles of other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
