Vosgar Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 For those who dismiss anything under 100 proof, too bad you don't have one of these. Very flavorful, thick and chewy, with a finish that goes on forever . My only regret is that I could only get 1 bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Having a pour of the new batch of Stagg Jr. (126.4). Good bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Well......... I have/ had a few Wellers open. Amongst them are a couple of private selections, and a couple of leftovers from the last batch of my Weller Blend. As of late, I’ve been enjoying my leftovers in spur of the moment blends. What can I say? Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Diving back into some Big Level tonight. Little rougher around the edges tonight than my last pour of it. Still get the shortbread cookie taste though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best one I’ve had lately, of the higher numbers (4000 and up). Generally speaking the lower the barrel number the better chances of finding something special? I found a LS with a supply of barrel 3549 from 10-06-06 for $30. I have one bottle and it is very tasty. Thinking about going back and grabbing 2 more.

Statesboro Blues Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 It’s our turn to host supper club, so I went to pick out a bourbon to pair with freshly caught redfish and discovered that I’ve already ran out of room in the barrel. Any suggestions as to what to pair with the fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give momma a nip as she did all the work and save some because it’ll help when the little princess is teething. But yeah, take a big slug for yourself tonight to celebrate. Best to your growing family. Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a slightly sweeter profile on the palate and nose with less alcohol on the nose. Sr. has quite a bit of alcohol heat from its extra proof points and more oak on the finish. It has another layer of complexity to it where jr. has just a tad bit of "rough around the edges" quality to it. Sr. has a bit of that old leather that I associate with older BT products. Blind these would have come in a lot closer and I'm sure I'm projecting a little bit. The wife tried them blind and picked Sr. as the better pour. I've done the same SBS and had very similar conclusions. Sr is a bit more complex, intense and obviously a bit older but all things said, Jr is about 95% as good or somewhere in that range. The relative ease of finding the Jr sure makes the near impossibility of me finding a bottle of Sr at retail all the easier to live with.

Sadly no, it's an unicorn here in Europe too, could get one though, but i don't to pay top euro (translation of "top dollar" in Europe ha ha). This one is on my bucket list, at least of sample of it, shouldn't be too hard to find, thx for the reminder ;-))) Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
