Knutzen Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Drinking some Weller Centennial, in rememberance of 2d Lt Alec Littler, who died while training to be a fighter pilot. He graduated from my cadet detachment just a year ago, and he will be remembered by all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DowntownD Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 last night I shared a flight with a friend, allowing him to smell each bottle and pick the order:* FR SmB (his favorite, my least fave by a small amount)* ETL SB (he felt was spicy, I like but don't rave over)* WLWeller 12 (he felt had the most bite, I like it the best)interesting, I thought.

JamesW Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 1/3 of a bottle of WL Weller 90 proof. I have forgotten just how good this stuff is..Is that the 12 yo? How does it compare to the Centennial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spun_cookie Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 It was the standard 7 yr. And still very good. It is about half the price and half as good... which leads me to the Centennial is a better buy. Do double my pleasure for only double the price is uncommon... it is more of an exponential curve rather than linier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 A vatting (but not really) of Henry McKenna Single Barrel 10 years old Bonded and 1970's Heaven Hill 86 proof. They seem about the same age despite the earlier whiskey not being age-labelled. I dropped the McKenna to about 86 proof to match the older one. They are combined about 3:2 McKenna watered to the 70's HH.Both are similar in taste to begin with, with the oily quality that characterises most HH bourbons up to about 12 years old (the EW Single Barrels are an exception).This vatting gives off a rich, rye- and barrel-accented nose. The taste is deep, sweetish, all-bourbon. The finish is silky and long-lasting.This is for the true fans of bourbon.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find a good 1-2 punch is start with Weller SR, then Antique 107, and then hit the Centennial for contrast effect. Makes the Centennial seem like a bottle twice as expensive (and it usually smokes most bottles that are anyway!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothbat Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I usually don't drink liquor when I go out to a bar for fear that I'll be more scrutinized if I should happen to get pulled over on the way home but today I couldn't resist. On the top shelf behind the bar my friend and I went to was a BHC bottle of VSOF, something I've always wanted to find so I substituted that for my first beer. It was an excellent pour, worth every penny of the $9.50 I paid. I would have gone for another but it looked like there was 1/2 a pour at best in the bottle so I passed. I don't know much of the provenance of this stuff but it definitely tasted a lot like what I remember of VVOF, a little better in fact. I was really surprised when my friend asked for a sniff and he exclaimed that it really had bite, I could find none. (He is a whiskey drinker but he's more into whisky.) Here's to crossing paths with one of these bottles in a liquor store someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
