Oli77 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 This bottle grew on me! Not a fan sometimes because of an "off" after taste. Other times, it is sweet and delicious. It's just me, i guess. Last night, it was a good night for the end of it.Paired it with fondue, while twirling and eating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be afraid of dropping the baton into the fondue; but, I am a well-known klutz... so, probably just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli77 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sorry, not sure what you call it when you "twirl" the wooden spoon in the fondue to slowly mix the cheese with the wine. "Figure-8 mixing"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Figure-8 mixing"? OK, now I get it. Didn't mean to suggest you were actually twirling a baton (like my Sis did for good Ole LPHS those many years ago). The word 'twirling' just struck me funny. Actually never had fondue, so not at all familiar with the practices involved. I didn't mean to cast aspersions, at all; just an apparently poor attempt at humor.

This a new thing I can’t edit Assuming you’re posting a photo from an iPhone or iPad. The trick is to edit the photo on your device before you attach/insert it to a post. Easiest thing is to just resize the photo, and save that change. It will then appear proper side up when you post to a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeze you'd think this would be fixed by now. I still prefer these real corks to the fake ones like Maker's and Beam. I noticed the new 101 bottles have gone to a composite cork which I'm also not a big fan of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Finished off RRSiB & WTKS PS tonight. No question the WTKS is the better bottle. WT in the 101 offering, when Jimmy or Eddie have input..........can't get any better. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattk Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Sadly going to have to buy another. Lucky I still know where a couple are. Seems like I should finish it while watching Frozen with my daughter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 A bottle of my beloved 2007 WLW gave up its last, wonderfully chewy pour last night. Sorry, but no picture. I decanted this bottle a while back after the cork broke. Sadly, I now only have 8 different Wellers open. On the upside, I still have a couple of 07’s in the bunker. What can I say? Biba!

fosmith Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 This was not bad. Actually kinda good. Just not $55 good, IMO. Won't be buying another one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUfan99 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) This was a good Kentucky rye. I can see some amazing stuff coming in the next 2 to 8 years from this distillery. In the next two years the 4 year getting bumped up to 6 and by year 8 some small batch and SiB well-aged releases. However, I really hope the 4 year doesn’t go away and the price on it decreases a bit. Edited March 2, 2020 by CUfan99 typo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's about where I eventually landed with this one. At first I thought it was complex, and enough different to be worth the upcharge. Then after a while, it wasn't so much 'complex' as it was oddly unbalanced, or even worse some days. So, I made the decision not to get another whenever this (now low-fill) bottle bites the dust.

The extra proof points are nice, but not worth an additional $25ish more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 No pics but I did drain one of my CEHT SmB bottles a couple of days ago. It was quickly replaced from one in the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Finished this one up at a local’s tasting bar. I like it well enough, but not enough to seek out a bottle. It can be a tad bitter at times. Otherwise, kinda similar to Pikesville rye. I like Cornerstone better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the grainy texture in that bottle. Completely opposite mouthfeel to the cornerstone, which I also loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
