fishnbowljoe Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Started with a pour of BT, then had a pour of MM 101. Not a bad evening at all. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bottle is the current stuff, NAS which some believe to be blend or? of material 4-6+ old. It has zero complexity suggesting young, but smoothed out with no youngster harshness suggesting age, but very little wood. Many/most retailers still advertise as 6 year: online guys like bevmo, caskcartel, the party source, etc; as well as sites like distiller.com. Old Taylor has many iterations over the years, including 16 and 17 year old material distilled in nineteen teens, ie 1933 bottle was 17 year old.

Popped my recently purchased bottle and raised 1st glass to ya. Very different than the WT101 also recently purchased. Spirit is sweet, mellow, more flavors, pale but very long lingering sophisticated after taste. Superb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Tonight I'm letting Jimmy pick out a barrel just for me, specifally a monster Kentucky Spirit from warehouse B. Is there better bourbon anywhere, at any price, than a honey WTKS? The jazz this evening's got soul, same as this bourbon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayouredd Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 This is my 1st 1792 and quite probable my 1st Bartonian. Not a daily grab, but likely a good change of pace pick much like the Calumet 12 was; only sweeter... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 A short pour of Weller SR is in the glass tonight. Busy day tomorrow. Biba! Joe 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I cracked my Weller CYPB, first time tasting that one. It's actually pretty damn good. You can tell the 8 years in the barrel really gives the BT wheated mashbill what it needs ... smooths out the rough edges you get in OWA. Just a first tasting for me, but much better than I expected considering the negative comments this one gets out there. I bet it would still be better at around 100 proof though... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The white label tasted good. So I decided to take the orange bottle out of hiding. Short pour because I gotta make this bottle last hah 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get lucky with a WT honey barrel, for ~$50 just drop the mic. I've had really good results with B, consistently probably my favorite for my palate anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into my local shop yesterday, looking for a OF1920, but this caught my eye. For $30 it was an easy decision. I enjoy this quite a bit. Yet another bottle I've purchased but have not gotten around to opening yet. Thanks for reminding me about my problem. Haha jk I look forward to opening mine soon (or sometime). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Chuck Cowdery said, “Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.” FWIW, my “open shelf” is pretty full right now. I’m gonna have to finish a couple of bottles to make some room. This might take a while. I retired two weeks ago, and my bourbon consumption has actually gone done since then. Go figure. Biba! Joe 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I think the state legislature passed a law, making all Weller illegal in Indiana. Regardless, I'm thoroughly enjoying this MM 101. Put this in a blind tasting against the other wheaters. And, I paid $30. Just don't tell the taters. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
