Bottles I’ve finished in the last few weeks are: a nice sized sample of 2019 GTS, a ETL, a ps 90 proof Old Forester SB, a Weller SR, a BT, a MM 101, and a handle of my 2021 Weller Blend. Sorry, no pics. Stay tuned. More to follow. Biba! Joe It is rare to become ambitious in retirement, so I commend you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Sorta Local craft distillery that makes all kinds of interesting stuff. I don’t like all their products, but this one was quite enjoyable for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeySnakes Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 A trio of standards heading to the bin tonight. The BT pick was on par with the regular bottling, but a tad more green apple in the mix, nice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Turkey displays good balance, while the 1920 is just one more finished bourbon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish this program would make some inroads in these eastern parts. I've only had one store pick BIB, from Canal's in South Jersey, and crikey how I emptied that sucker. Sometimes it seems you open a bottle and you sip nothing else 'til its gone. I've never found another, sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Truly a sad moment for me. I’m confident in saying this was one of the best Weller anything I’ve ever had (including WLW). Sounds weird, but liquid butterscotch candy is the best description I can come up with. So sweet, rich, viscous, and buttery, with a very slight cinnamon red hot candy kiss. It only got better and better as I drank it down. (decided to leave the Benchmarks photobomb in for whatever reason today. It just felt right) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob_Loblaw Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Both good. Neither elite. May purchase one or both again in the future, but not a priority to replace. Onto the next bottles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 This is not the way I wanted to post a picture of this bottle. This was the 1st barrel pick of 4R’s (OBSK) that I helped pick for a local store. I was getting it off a top shelf in the laundry room, and set it on the dryer and watched it slid off. I’m a dumb ass..... This is the kicker, I was giving it to a friend. So I went back and grabbed the last bottle I have . I gave it to them yesterday and told them I have a story behind that bottle, but I would tell them later because I new they wouldn’t take it if I told them what happened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
