drrich1965 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Weller 12yo, Binnys botteling. Seems to need to open up a bit, as I just opened the bottle..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sijan Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 OGD 86 proof (National era, from a Quart bottle). So, I'm starting to catch on to the fact that National-era OGD is not for me. I really like the nose on this bourbon, but on the palate I'm getting a lot of the overly woody, dry, astringent notes that I was noticing on my OGD BIB (National).

spun_cookie Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Weller 12yo, Binnys botteling. Seems to need to open up a bit, as I just opened the bottle.....After it opened, what did you think. I have the same bottle...?Finished the night with some Weller Centennial 13yr and ORVW 107/10yr. for a compairison for our good buddy Nick... Both great for their own reasons... and I am feeling no pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtoys Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Sorry everyone, but: When in Rome, .......... Hanging out in warm and sunny Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco, Mexico, the home of tequila. Enjoying a "pseudo-margarita"--Tequila con Squirt. And a nice Cuban smoke out on the patio at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Although I got some 2006 WLW from the BTAC in today I am drinking the 2007 117.9 proof.I cut it down to 100 proof and it is very tasty, reminds me of Weller 12yo with apricot.

Whiskey Willie Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Not home yet, but I've been thinking of some fine ORVW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Started with Centennial 13 yr, finishing with Very Special Old Fitz. I'd say that this old fitz tastes alot like a younger Pappy 20. Anyone had that flavor profile come out.... the similarities are tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeox Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Since I've nearly run out of new stuff to try from my Chicago haul, I decided to open the GTS '07. I think that I smell and taste the appeal :bigeyes:, but this will definitely be a special occasion only pour for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is an import Litre from the Canadian border.TonyTony,I'm going to be hosting a "Turkey Shootout" on May 3rd. Give me your impressions of the current 8 year. I have two bottles and will be opening one for the tasting. Gonna mix it up between current and older iterations. The 8 year 101 I'm drinking right now is a really good pour.

DoubleT Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I had a Jim Beam on the rocks at dinner. And I must admit I was surprised to find that the steakhouse where we ate didn't serve Maker's Mark. I hope to correct that. Right now I'm enjoying Buffalo Trace on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACDetroit Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Greg, I find the import just classic WT! maybe not quite as sweet as the old with a bit more oak. The classic WT nuttyness is in the finish on this bottle but like you said and I'll repeat I really like this one as well. The alcohol burn is in the finish which I find odd but up front this one it smooth as silk.Hop it helps! Let me know your thoughts on it in May?Cheers!Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmetzger34 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Was able to fly back to Louisville this afternoon despite the ice storm . . . power still out in Lake Forest, so came over to watch the UL game at my folks house . . . choices were Maker's, Woodford and the Bernheim Wheat which I had yet to try . . . expectations were low, but the Bernheim Wheat wasn't bad at all . . .
