Steven C Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Made several manhattans with this bottle between sipping sessions. A "gold standard" bottle for a reason! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Tot Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Easily my absolute favorite newly regularly available spirit product of the last 5 years. I'll never be without one. It just always works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My LS has a barrel pick of this and I'm considering pulling the trigger. Wondering if it's finished in sherry casks or such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if it's finished in sherry casks or such. No sherry/cognac finish I could discern but a superb balanced well made 13yo bourbon and well worth the asking price. It's not an everyday sipper for me, just from a cost standpoint, but I just opened a 1376 barrel and already I know it won't last long. Pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed.

parksmart Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Sad to drink the last dregs of this bottle. Luckily, I have some more..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Killed of a recent Wilderness Trail 5yr store pick yesterday. Seems to get good reviews and the word is that they are "doing it right" when it comes to being a craft distillery. Still, I find the juice to be much too corn forward and "yeasty" I will revisit once they are in the 7-8 year range, but did not terribly enjoy the 5 yr. Two rounds of Hot Toddy's quickly got me through the last third of the bottle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bourbon needs more time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the bourbon. I agree, the Rye was very good and I would buy a pick of that at the current age for sure. I will also admit I thought the Peerless rye was fantastic. I refuse to buy it out of principal due to the price vs age. I know that is being a bit hypocritical given that I admit the juice is great, but I do not want to send the message to other craft distillers that it is acceptable to charge $100 for 2 year product. I hope Peerless keeps the price where it is as their stock ages vs bumping the price per year a la Willett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Finished an OC 10y tonight. I think I have a few in the bunker, but it’s another age statement gone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Finished off a really nice store pick 1792 single barrel. I liked this SB expression better than the best full proof store pick I have. Edited December 5, 2019 by Kepler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 The Weller was polished off earlier this week. Enjoying the last of the 1920 this afternoon while sorting through a ridiculous pile of mostly junk mail that’s accumulated over the past month or so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasGazelle Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Finished this off tonight. It was a find in the back row of a bunch of 2011 dates so I snatched up two...well worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will need to check it out next time we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I've been keeping my bottle purge going in order to make some room on my "open" shelf for a couple of new bottles I plan on opening soon. FWIW, by finishing the ps Blanton's, I now have all the bottle top/letters. Biba! Joe 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemosabe Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I was lucky enough to have had a couple drams of Weller CYPB recently, but I gotta say - I like W12 more. I'm glad to have more in the bunker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
