Bob_Loblaw Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Not currently drinking, but to be drunk soon and I did not want to start a new thread. Driving to a family wedding this weekend and the father of the bride is a bourbon guy. Not entirely sure what his level of bourbonerdery is so I just brought a ton of samples. Some of them I have not yet even tried! Final list below. Also, have a Peerless Rye sample, but do not know specs on. Looking forward to it and fingers crossed that he is an aficionado! Elmer T.

It looks like I’m probably gonna be sticking with my BIB’s for a while. It appears that I’ve lost my Weller mojo. Vosgar invited me and Galvin0791 over to his house yesterday for food, fun, cigars and bourbon. While we enjoyed several very nice bourbons, first and foremost on the agenda was a blind SBSBS of Weller 12’s. There was a new bottle of Weller 12 along with a couple of fairly well known private selections from 2007 and 2009. I thought I had a pretty good handle on all three, but in the end, I didn’t even get one right. No longer am I a Weller whore. I reckon I’m just a regular ol’ bourbon bitch until further notice. Basic storyline stuff here, Joe. Every superhero has their catharsis moment of self-doubt. ...it's usually right before they save the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’m having a nice pour of Weller 12 this evening. Ya’ gotta have fun. Yeah, I may not have fared so well in a Weller 12 SBSBS, but what the hey? Once a Weller whore, always a Weller whore. I apologize if I worried any of y’all by poking a little fun at myself. Biba!

Guss West Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Found a Weller 12 one time up here in the ADK, so now I look for it every time I'm up here. Intermittent reinforcement at it's finest! I brought an OWA-PS and OE7BP to the cabin so I'm sure they will be in the empty bottle thread by the weekend. This OWA has been half full and is opened up nicely. Lovely powdery floral notes I love in the good wellers. Lovely bottle at $30 but a pass at $50, for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a celebratory dinner out with a couple of co-workers. It was well aged, with nuttiness but not much funk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDanner Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Woodford Double Oak...Not a fan. It is a NC ABC Single Barrel Pick and I think they may use those to get rid of barrels they can't use anywhere else. Should I try the standard release?

I’ve usually found that the Woodford Double Oak Private Selections are far superior to the standard releases. So, if you’re not liking this particular single barrel pick, either the pickers didn’t know what they were doing or you just don’t like the double oak taste profile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The past half week or so I've been finishing a bottle of a PS ER10 from a local Total Wine. It's from 4 years ago or so and it's been fantastic. It reminds me of how good BT distillate can be. It's a flavor I find lacking in most of their current on the shelf products. It's still attainable in good single barrel PS bottle such as the BT pick my local did last year. I hope @The Black Tot is correct and that a boatload of quality distillate is about ready to come of age. As a contrast, I'm following with some Bulleit Barrel Strength from two years ago and it's not as good as the ER10. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It too is fantastic, loads of cherries in this bottle . Definitely one I should have bought a few more of. Enjoying an '09 W12 PS from Binny's tonight. This is a stellar bottle as well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biba! Joe Always a nice summer evening's pour. Tasty, yet not over powering. I can only assume it is not in the same league as your blend. But, if you have the blend every night, all else might pale in comparison so the blend must be imbibed wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
