NDN98 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Purchased and opened this one today. I like it so far, but don't love it. Very sweet, with a little bit of that rye spice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nm0369 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 This is my first go-round with OWA single barrel....love it. It's the same profile just richer and more pronounced flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I traded store picks with a kind fellow from Oregon. I've never seen PS Weller in our corn covered state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 There was a store in Indy that had some OWA single barrel picks. That was a number of years ago... I was thinking the same thing as mbroo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Just got this and thought I'd open it up and see what's under the hood. Looking forward to comparing it to some of my other Wild Turkeys at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're new to bourbon, that's certainly jumping right into the deep end! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I broke into the second-last bottle of Russell's Reserve SmB SB that we (GBS) picked a couple years back with Eddie Russell. Man I'd almost forgotten what a luscious pour pour this is. Well, not really. I just was delaying the inevitable for awhile, hoping the couple remaining bottles would somehow multiply. They haven't; but, I just couldn't wait any longer. This is among the best Turkey offerings I've ever had, and I will miss 'em when all are gone. Lotsa sweet caramel, with enough oak to balance that sweetness, and a generous hit of nutmeg, and spice in the back. Wonderful. I can't believe I poured away almost a third of this bottle since I opened it this afternoon! My son-in-law had one nice pour, and I can only blame myself for the rest of what's missing. Ahhhh; but, what a nice afternoon/evening of Bourbon zen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Opened a store select ER10. The initial pour is pointing toward this being a stellar pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk I've tasted both, found the SmB a little sweeter than the SiB, where i'm from, both are in same price range (overpiced) €90-100, but if i was living in the US, i'd be happy to buy the smb rather than the SiB.

Hop Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Opening a store select SB of 1792FP this evening. If I like it as much as I did at the store when I picked it I'll have the Mrs pick up some more since she's over that way this weekend on a girls weekend.

Hop Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Prior to opening the 1792FP referenced above and being inspired by talk on another topic I decided to open a new bottling of WSR as well as an older one. The new was picked up this year and older one can't be more than a couple of years old. I looked for a laser code but didn't find anything. Other's have said they felt the new bottling might be superior to the old and that's why I opened these. After pouring an ounce of each and sampling (not blind) I can discern very little difference, the newer bottling seems to have a bit more oak on the back of the palate but it's minor. That could indicate a bit more age or just a difference in placement in the rackhouse or the barrel itself. The last bottle of WSR I had open was vatted with OWA to bring the proof up a bit closer to 100 which was very enjoyable to my palate. That got me to thinking wouldn't a Weller BIB be great? Maybe 8 yrs old and at that 100 proof point? BT are you listening???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was called Weller Centennial and that bourbon is what the SB blend was created to replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
