Ya’all can probably guess what I picked. FWIW, it seems I get my name drawn every other year. I got a 2019 WLW two years ago. Last year I got one, but not in a lottery. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. As I’ve often said, “Every once in a while.” Biba! Joe The folks at Saz should just ship a bottle of WLW directly to you every year. Surely someone there knows of your well documented Weller Whoredom!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasGazelle Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I didn’t purchase it but someone gifted it to me. I’ve only had one other bottle of theirs and for a young bourbon it was good. I look forward to enjoying this and appreciate the gift. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markandrex Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I added one more bottle after dinner. We went out for Mexican to support a local who had one of their locations trashed. I stopped by a LS that is about 200 yards from the hardest hit area in town. You can actually see where the neighborhood was from their parking lot. They had some minor roof damage but nothing serious, amazing. I was talking to the owner about clean-up and he walked into the back. He came out with this, no charge, he insisted. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure at least a couple of ‘em there know of my fondness for Blanton’s, BT, ER, and all things Weller. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they had several cases of WLW in the same room. Freddie told us none of those would be going home with us that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayouredd Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Been waiting on this one! I open all the special accumulations of the past year for Christmas with the S-I-L and the grabs have been very sparse this year. So far all I have to offer is a RR13, waiting since September. We opened the Remus IV for Halloween and I needed at least a deuce to feel worthy... This should round it out nicely... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe This is a first for me, although the 100 proof SiB last year was stellar. I have to say that I have kinda' become an OF Whore because being a Weller Whore is next to impossible in this part of the world, not to mention, that side of the street is already taken by someone I sorta' know... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.B. Babington Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 apologies for bad pic. I used to be serious amateur photo guy, time to return to it. the alberta is most recent release in their cask series, release #3 ? which rumor says is a good one. I'm excited by the JD at +140 proof and looking forward to sampling 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
