I think it’s time to check back by that store and see if there’s any left. Good call, KSJon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 My surprisingly good “dusty” Blanton’s from 1997 bit the dust this weekend. I did save a sample jar of it for a future rainy day though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frees up some shelf space and I can still revisit, share or use in a SBS down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Really disliked the three year. Bought the 4 after several positive reviews. Light years better, but I’m still not sold. Would not rebuy. 50/50 on buying the 5 next year. Although I’m a sucker and will probably do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really IS OK to just give them a miss and do something else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's quite a bit of variation from batch to batch in my experience for these Willett ryes. I've had two - 126 and 107.x proof. Aside from the difference in proof the flavor profiles were quite different. The 126 was fantastic and almost beat out a Whistle Pig 10 store pick in a blind tasting. The 107 was good, but much fruitier and younger tasting. The 126 was definitely worth the coin, the 107, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpartan Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Crappy fall weather called for the last pour of this HWMWND pour. This one was just OK compared to the previous batches of sourced juice. I don’t know if I’ll pick up another bottle this fall unless I try it first to see if they have improved their own distillate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Sad to see the rye go. The JD BIB is also very solid and a nice step up fri. There regular offer. JD needs more love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Filled a couple of Decades samples then killed that one off. The OESK has just a tiny amount left after my blind so it was next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part about any bottle looking good I agree with, since by comparison, most things would be a pleasant counterpoint. Sorry for the rant.

Double C's Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 didn't get a pic of it, but I kill a big fat turkey saturday evening. I love the price I have been paying recently for a 1.75L of WT101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
