Last couple days I've returned to 114 after a 10-12 year hiatus for no particular reason. I always liked it, recommended it, enjoyed it. Good stuff. I quite like it neat but probably 2/3 of a given bottle goes to Grandpa Weller's 4 Grain blend. Tasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sure wish I could find these type of bottles in the stores again. Now I can only find them in the bunker and I'll be digging in there soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "found" bottle should be great as well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I guess Wheater Christmas is officially over. I probably should have saved a sample of this 2015 bottle for sbs, but oh well. Opened this one last year (Dec. 2020) to share with some friends that hadn’t tried it before. They still talk about that night. Pulled it out this recent holiday season for myself to enjoy, and decided it wasn’t going back into storage. Lots of butterscotch on this tonight. It’s tasting sweet and rich, and about the best it ever has. Probably because it’s the end, or it’s the Lindt chocolate I just had. Either way, it’s going out with glory. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutledge went out on top! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 In bottle killing mode for the next few days. Last night saw the end of a Loch & Key Single Barrel Buffalo Trace from last year. That and a bottle of Makers 101 are no longer in the cabinet. A few more should drop off tonight as well. I'll post them tomorrow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 So tomorrow became today some how because of work. Tuesday night kills consisted of two bottles I purchased back in Louisville last year. Old Forrester Barrel Strength Master Distillers Pick which got better the longer it was open and more air got to it. Next was a Total Wine pick of Starlight Single Barrel at 108 proof. I regret not getting 2 or 3 bottles of this one!! It was a fabulous "dessert" pour. Tons of burnt brown sugar and maple syrup notes on every sip with a hint of cherries and shortbread cookies! I had multiples I would have killed this bottle down in less than a week it was that good. Most certainly need to find another bottle from Starlight the next time we are back in town. The bottles continue to run dry tonight as I just finished a WTRB. I think I might have one or two more to post here before the end of the weekend before we switch over to the what did you open thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Shoulda had a backup for this one. The Cherry Hill NJ Wegman's had these for a hot minute, 55 months old and finished in a new lightly toasted (#1 char) barrel. A high proof vanilla bomb, this is a four grain that tastes like a good wheater. It has been a persistent winter favorite, and hence about to deliver up its last small measure of devotion. Adios.

lemonman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Polished off another KC, which is normally my #1 go-to. For whatever reason it hasn't been the last month or so, but back in the saddle tonight enough to finish one, and immediately crack another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Finished off a bottle of Baker's and OWA tonight. Needed something to dull the pain of watching my U of L Cards stink up the floor yet again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I disposed of these two over the weekend. The Barrell 025 was excellent, the 1897 is fine but nothing special. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
