Bourbon Confessions

[Corbet]

Picked up a local bottle. Have not opened it yet but got a snort at the distillery. I haven’t completely formed an opinion yet. Might save this bottle for a Chama camping trip.

Paul - while I was in Cortez last week I popped into the local liquor store for some beer, and they had a bottle of Weller 12 on the shelf behind the register for <$40.

Is this the stuff your talking about?

Yes, Corbet! That is the yummyness

My guy is going to hold me a bottle next time he gets it. Told me $28

 

[LARGEONE]

Exactly! Can you believe $28 for a 12 yr old bourbon. I've been told it is the same recipe as Pappy, but just not the barrels selected as "Pappy-worthy". could be bogus, but from the taste, I'll take the bait.

Not bogus.

Buffalo Trace has a single wheated mash bill from which all Wellers (including William Larue Weller) and all Pappys' are derived.

If you're shuttling bottles of Weller 12 around, I will always take a couple, especially at $28 a piece. I'd be happy to throw in a 6 pack of the style of your choosing as well

Shhh...don’t tell anyone or we will be waiting 12 years for a bottle of it!!!

 

[Corbet]

I imagine the 12 year is better but this is what my local supplier got last week. And then to me for only $10. Definitely decent for the price.

I can almost always get the green bottle reserve. Totally different than the 12 year but I keep it on hand when I’m gonna mix with ginger ale and a splash of lime. That’s the KY drink I grew up on. Wait til you get the 12 year. Right now I can only find it in restaurant bars.

Holy ice, batman!

The special reserve is a great every day drinker. I'm glad it's so readily available in Colorado; when I lived in South Carolina, you couldn't find it at all. Everything like that would go straight to the restaurants; quite infuriating really.

Seriously! You guys need some ball forms.

I've been thinking I need Death Star ice spheres.

This might be a new favorite. I like it as much as the Templeton but it costs less. Rittenhouse Rye. And on side note, I’m starting to feel like I must appear to have a drinking problem, as I seem to be the only one posting anymore in the thread. In reality I simply now have an excellent selection to choose from.

Funny you say this...I just got some large cube molds for my birthday! I got sphere, square, and some really cool skull ones!!

Also got another bottle of single barrel Four Roses

Corbet...keep up the good work!

 

[nakman]

Oh man I am totally getting those death star molds.. thanks!

Rittenhouse punches way above it's weight class (price); easily one of my favorite everyday whiskeys. It's been in my flask for all my fishing trips the last few months.

Corbet...just so you don’t feel bad about yourself...I’ve been doing the same for a bit!

I picked up the Weller 12 year this week. $26.67 out the door with tax. Gave it a test drive tonight. It delivers.
