elmossle Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Had to say goodbye to a bottle of Weller 12 this evening. It was time. It had hung around with very little left to give for some time now. Great news is there are plenty more to take its place in the basement. As we say in this house, next man up please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Emptied a bottle of ECBP A117 last night - didn't drink but moved it to a decanter to see if changes a bit with the aeration - also noticed that my decanter must be a 700ml as the bottle was 80% full and pretty much filled the decanter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1marksman Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Good bye little friend. You were small in size but big on flavor. I'll not miss you long, though. I have a couple of your bigger brothers stashed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Cleared up some shelf space this week by clearing some 1-2 pours remaining bottles... But it's full again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young SA wheater takes over and domminates the ryed bourbon component (especially as the bottle ages with air). Mine tasted like the wheated bourbon component all sunk to the bottom of the bottle & that was all I tasted at the end.... I even shook it up a few times, in a drunken moment of insanity. I guess the best way to describe it would be. 1. It smells really great 2. It tastes very different from most anything else. 3. Not bad, but not great either. 4. After 3/4 the bottle was gone, I was really tired and bored with it. 5. Worthless in cocktails. Easily lost with ice and mixers. 6. Cool bottle & labels for display. I won't be buying another, but I would drink it again at a bar or a friend's house in small quantities. Edited March 9, 2017 by 0895 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I seemed to like this more going in than finishing. I want to love this HH single barrel, 10 years 100 proof but finished this off while comparing to some EC with a 12 year statement and found the EC much better.

MOwhisky4me Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'd put off drinking the last few ounces for long enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'd put off drinking the last few ounces for long enough... That is some good stuff, sipping some right now. I went a bit overboard though, and have 5.5 bottles of 750ML and a handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTaylor Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Finished off the last two ounces of a Noah's Mill that had been hanging around for a couple years. Put an EWWL in it's place. The first bottle of Noah's Mill I had was pretty good so I bought a couple more, but the second bottle was just not good. It wasn't really bad... but not something I'd seek out. Still have one in the back of the bunker that will probably be there for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it will only be sold at the Evan Williams Experience. If so, I might have to meet@CardsAndBourbon there to buy a bottle. That label looks like it could be an excellent blend.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large part of me is just done with everything BT puts out, and I'll just start paying attention to them again in 8 years when they can actually stock their products on shelves.Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
