Just finished a bottle recently. I was a bit surprised how quickly I went through it. I shouldn't be because that always happens. But wow.....it's a sleeper whiskey that I always under appreciate.

Finally, about a year or so, I came to the realization that these great pours of it that I was having in bars, could easily be had at home if I would just buy a bottle. And, since nearly every liquor store carries if...it's been a staple on my home bar since. Like you Steve, they disappear from there quite quickly!

GeeTen Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Poured some PVW15 into a non-descript bottle to take to dinner last night at the Coach Grille in Wayland, MA. Went great with prime rib - but was helpful after watching a harrowing Patriot's win (where's that vaunted defense we were promised after all the off-season acquisitions???). Sorry for the shakey pic, but the wife took it!!!!!!!! Edited September 25, 2017 by GeeTen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so many open that it is usually a long stretch between pours of Baker's and every time I do have a pour I'm like "Why don't I drink this more often?"

kevinbrink Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I myself also cracked a Baker's over the weekend, quite literally I cracked the cork, it was an older bottle with the gold ring around the wax, grabbed the Ah-So (forget who recommended that thing to me but thanks!) and had nice pour, the first thing that struck me was how dark it was compared to the more recent 50ml bottle I had sitting around, the depth of flavor matched the color. This bottle was a stunner, I might have to add older Baker's bottles to my list of "Dusty-Ish" bottles to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Started tonight with a JEP 1776 6 year AS bourbon (mgp) manhattan. Delicious! Made the wife one with Turkey 101 rye. Can't get over what a bargain this stuff is @$32/liter. Now working on some VOB 86p neat. Goodbye Monday's pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Started the evening with the last small pour from a bottle of Stagg Jr. Moved on to BT. It's all good. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinbrink Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Ever had one of those nights where everything tastes good, I was, had the fantastic OBSO above, followed it up with a small pour of an OBSQ I've been on the fence about and enjoyed it more than I have in the past so I poured a bit of 1792 FP which again has been OK but nothing special to me and found it thoroughly enjoyable. Well I guess the fun is over, went with MM CS and there it is acetone bomb, sorry folks just don't get the appeal on this one. Edited September 26, 2017 by kevinbrink On the plus side nothing a splash of Vermouth a Morello Cherry and a dash of bitters couldn't fixed.

Patrick_OKC Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Began with some WT101, followed by Old Ripy. I have had the latter bunkered for a while, but was only moved to open it tonight. Pretty good I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different strokes I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCS, yes, but PS, not yet. Actually, now that I think about it, I did see one recently, but opted not to buy it. Will try it when I next see it, I suppose.

fishnbowljoe Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm on vacation this week, but it's basically a "working" vacation. I'm trying to get a number of things done here that have been put off for a while for various reasons. After a long day of doing some things around the house, I'm rewarding myself with an impromptu version of my own Weller Blend. It's pretty much equal parts Weller SR, Weller 12, and OWA, and it's really hitting the spot for me this evening. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Cheers!

chappy6107 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I too am getting into the WT101. Funny thing is back in college a buddy and I used WT101 along with Bacardi 151 to make a shot called 252. This was a punishment shot for losing a game of pool. after a long night of drinking, this 252 shot would almost instantly make you sick. So for the longest time I have been walking straight past the WT101 at the store because of "bad" memories. After seeing many of you use it as a daily sipper I had to give it an honest try. I have to say that I am liking it alot. not my favorite, but it is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
