Golferpimp1 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Wrapped up an Ezra brooks 101 7 yr. I learned it’s worth the extra 10 dollars to pay for he Henry McKenna 10 yr! Not bad, but not anywhere close to the 10 yr McKenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosmith Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 With all the hate I read about WSR, I was surprised how much I liked it. Great rich, sweet nose and palate. Went out and bought two more bottles that Bevmo (two different stores) just happened to have in stock. A rare sight in the wild here in the Bay Area. The Pikesville... say no more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried the Pikesville. It is on " the list" of things to do. But I have had WSR. I am not " hating" on WSR, but it is just another bottom shelf bourbon. IMHO. What makes it so coveted is the names Weller & Buffalo Trace. It makes people crazy. Both sellers & consumers alike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something to that but it is good stuff for where it should be in the bourbon pecking order. I’m not replacing a lot of BT bottles I finish with more BT due to allocation/price reasons and a little bit of dissatisfaction with how Sazerac does business. They do make good stuff though.

kemosabe Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Best thing about finishing off a good bottle is searching the bunker for a fitting replacement. Cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my universe, I think WSR is pretty sub-par, I think a lot around here basically think it's fine but that OWA is a better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Had my father-in-law visiting visiting from France and I kept some low fills of a lot of different bottles around so we could compare. Things like different 4R recipes, different mashbill #2 from BT, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say they didn't feel good the next day. I cant imagine getting drunk on that sweet, sweet, whiskey. I have to say a small glass of its not terribly bad though.

Yes, a little goes a long way. Most of these bottles were consumed by my wife who has a penchant for the sweeter side. Of course the amari and fernets in the mix (my contribution) probably have the same amount of sugar-- just tempered with the bitter componentry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUfan99 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Killed a 2009 vintage 8 yr old EWSB. Very good out of the freezer after washing the house, changing the oil in the wife’s ride and cutting the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
