Well, I think this message board must have been infiltrated by ABC spies.
Just got an email from Guest Services responding to me and confirming that my order was not cancelled and I will hear from my local store when my WL Weller arrives for pickup. 
Sweet, congratsWell, I think this message board must have been infiltrated by ABC spies.
That’s made in my hometown. I was part of the Ranger program and got to bottle my own single barrel bottle in addition to a big party o the release day. I think it’s pretty good, but priced a little high.
This is the BTAC William Larue Weller Cask Strength. I think it's only .75. I didn't look closely at the Weller 12, 107 or others than commonly come in 1.75.Megla said:
I know lame to quote yourself but with all the discussion on Weller I pulled out my Weller 12 tonight, which I haven't touched in awhile, and had a glass and it sure is a good bourbon. Don't have a much left so don't drink it often given how hard it is to find now but it is damn good.Redwes25 said:
MGP actually has some very good rye coming out of it. They are a very high rye mash bill (95%) and great for using in cocktails that call for Rye like Manhattans and Old Fashions. Personally use Bulliet Rye in those types of drinks. Bourbon is too sweet for those drinks in my personal opinion. However, Templeton is garbage as it is MGP rye with flavorings added.
Take yer JD talk over to the Tennessee Whiskey thread. This here's the Bourbon thread.I work 3rd shift (10p-6:30a) at my local Post Office. Off Saturday and Tuesday nights.
Been drinking JD for awhile now and listening to some Jimi Hendrix. Will be in bed within an hour as I get more intoxicated
I hold my liquor well, but become much more talkative ( typative) when I drink
You still live in NKY? I'm in Ft. Thomas. New Riff is a two-minute drive. I was impressed by the bourbon, given how young the place is.
101 is a good bourbon especially for the price/101 proof and if you like it I would pull the trigger. Personally, I like bourbons that have a higher rye in mash bill for cocktails as you don't need as much sweetness as you adding with mixers. Going that route I personally like Bulleit but a bit more expensive then 101. Four roses yellow label is good as well and cheaper. Agree, I don't think you should spend much money on something you are going to mix.
We've had a bottle of 101 at some past family gatherings and I mixed with cranberry juice cocktail (because, turkey and cranberries of course) with good results. I saw the Four Roses mentioned in a Reddit thread as well, so I'll give that a look. I'm also a high-rye fan.
Yep. Just a little past you in Crestview. I was glad they could convert those old buildings by the 12th street bridge to rickhouses.
I picked up a handle of Colonel Lee and its even better with some cola. Loving it so far.
Buffalo Trace
Was finally able to pick a bottle of Blanton's up today. We plan on doing body shots with it. Merry Christmas to me
I opened up a bottle of Eagle Rare tonight.Nathan R. Jessep said:
This happened to me when I was doing a tasting for my BIL at my house last Christmas. We were tasting the various ones I have and I was telling him about them. I don't remember what we were currently tasting but my 21 year old nephew comes over and says, "Hey can I try some of that?". Reluctantly I pour him some in a glass. He shoots it like it is fireball. "Damn uncle Tom! That is smooth!". Needless to say that was the last one he "tasted".
Opposite for me at my SIL's on Thanksgiving. They have a tradition of everyone doing a shot of Fireball or something similar. BIL had an airline bottle of Eagle Rare and offered that to me. I spent a good 10-15 minutes on my "shot" that day.
Probably be my next bottle then. Told FIL to get me bourbon for Xmas, not expecting anything good but we’ll see. Basil Hayden’s is about half gone and I have some buffalo trace for cocktails so gonna need a bottle soon
I love Trace and their whole line. My SIL works for their parent company and she moves a lot of bourbon. I like Basil a lot too even though it's a bit lighter than most modern bourbons. Not sure if dollar for dollar Bakers is on the level of Trace or Basil, but I do remember thinking it was a very nice bourbon.
Damn. Never did get my WLW. Got a second invite a couple weeks later and it was gone so settled for a Stagg Sr.
Product Description: WELLER SPECIAL RESERVE STRAIGHT BOURBON
That sucks, I have to say I was very disappointed in the contents of the "vault"
The reserve has started to become more available here in FL. I can usually walk into any ABC early in the week and get a bottle or even a 1.75
