garbanzobean Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Just think, next year you can record a message like this: "We are open today from XXXX to YYYYY. If you are inquiring about limited release bourbons, that sucks for you. We are auctioning them all off for charity. You can register for our charity auction at ZZZ-ZZZ-ZZZZ."

Auracom Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Just curious if anyone has cracked this year's ORVW10, and if so, any thoughts on how it fares vs. 2013? Never did get a chance to try last year's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicktrav Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Last year's Old Rip was insane. Have not tried this year's yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HD 335 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Last year's Old Rip was insane. Have not tried this year's yet.Agreed! From last year's release I would rather drink that than the Lot B, 20 and 23 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 To pick up on the discussion in the BTAC thread, what laser codes are folks seeing on VW bottles from the current release? I have eyeballed two 15's purchased recently and both are 2013 bottles. Anyone see a 15 w a 2014 code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanstaafl2 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 My PVW 15 is a B14. I was also able to scrounge up a PVW15 this year and mine has the 2014 code (In fact a pretty recent bottling: 12:31 on September 8th it would appear).

Never did get a chance to try last year's. Able to answer this for myself, as it turns out. 2014 is really nice, especially on the nose. Getting ample caramel, honey, vanilla. It's quite sweet but seriously a nice semi-frequent pour, especially for someone who doesn't reach for wheaters all too often. And it thoroughly trumps squat bottle 90 proof, in case anyone was interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the intel. I was on record saying the '13 version was really good and much better than the Lot B for less $. Imagine if this was somehow exempt from the Pappy hype and readily available for $45-$50 or so. I would buy it by the case and need nothing else.Edit: Dear BT, please bag the Weller 12 and devote those stocks to the VW line. Bag the Old Rip 10/107 and just start "Pappy" at 12 yrs and up. Weller can be NAS/107 (bag NAS/90) and 10/107(or 10/100) and end there. No conflict or overlap in the wheated line. Ok? Ok.
