Today's daily dozen… moving on to cinnamon.

 

Gotta say...you have one hell of a sample size.  If they ever make a Liquor Store Heist movie you gotta at least consult.

This one stings a bit. I am a BIG fan of the Canadian 10 yr but haven’t had their house distillate so if this is that I have no point of reference. I know the WP brand has sprung several extensions in recent years but I have only experienced the 10/10/100 and some choice BPs.

That was my question too, in-house or Canadian?

You sound just like my mother. Lighten up, it's just booze.

All due respect, but I don’t understand why the snarky comments? I’m not trying to criticize you, it’s more just surprise that some whiskey sucks that bad. Guess that isn’t coming across in the text.

I absolutely love Canadian 10 year old rye (Alberta).  I have had several WP10 from Canada and several of the older Jefferson's Rye 10 year old non-chill filtered and all were stellar.  I was recently gifted a WP12 Old World Rye.  I have had three decent size pours on three different occasions.  It is a finished rye @ 86 proof.  It was distilled in Indiana.  I have had some stellar Indiana distilled rye.  This isn't one.  I will set it aside for a while but as it stands now, it would be one of only three possible drain pours I have ever had.  The other two?  Dickel 12 and Starlight Carl T. store pick.  Neither ended up in the drain.  One was added to a solera (Starlight), the other left at a party.  I also left a Larceny at a party.  Others seemed to love it.  Me.  Not so much.

With all the alcohol rinses they get, the piping from your house to the main line out at the street must be in pristine condition! 🤣

I am glad I got to sip the EC toasted barrel at the tasting center. It talked me out of getting one. Silly toast

It sounded so good (roasted marshmallow!) so I grabbed one...never could get into it so I ended up leaving at a bottle share.  Not a bad deal, though, cuz I left with what was left of the Joseph Magnus bottle.

I've never poured a bottle down the drain.  I'll revisit it periodically (they often get better over time), I'll experiment with blending it, and if nothing works, I'll give it to a friend who likes it or bring it to a bottle share.  I do have that Benchmark 8 though...

I sense consternation with and agree that dumping a pour of WTR101 is mind blowing.  

 

I would be interested in hearing what characteristics were offensive enough to constitute such a demise.

We all are.  I sincerely hope it is not imminent.

Last I recall he gives them to people at the store.

Oh gosh, my poor attempt at humor was misplaced.  If I'm reading this right, I'm very sorry and send prayers your way man.

I certainly understand not wanting to finish a bottle you don't enjoy, I've been there many times myself, but maybe find someone else who would drink them instead of posting photos of things like a WT101 rye going down the drain?
