W. L. Weller 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey 2025

An exceptional wheater. Sweet heat, a little peat. Not rye, wheat... what else rhymes? The 90 proof makes it a bit thin compared to the Antique 107, but it's in the same wheelhouse and I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating pickled herring.

I do like pickled herring. In bed though, might kick myself out.

George T. Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

124.9 proof but not as hot as it seems. I really think these bottles improve after being opened for a bit. Not sure what I rated this prior but it’s a full mouth feel and punch. It’s on the sweeter side for me with a little bit of wood and a finish that lasts a long time. I get pipe tobacco aromas from the empty ;) glass. Reminds me of those old tobacco tin cans my grandfather had. I think I saved one somewhere just for the memories. Never got into a pipe. — 2 years ago

Only had this once but it was the best smelling spirit I’d ever come across! Doubt I’ll ever see another bottle, but hopefully I do!

7 YO Age statement. Dark amber color. Vanilla, caramel, butterscotch and creme brûlée. This is one they should bring back and a great example of a classic bourbon 🥃 bottling. — 7 years ago

George T. Stagg Limited Edition 138.2 Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2024

Sweet heat. The 2024 is 136.1 proof, but Delectable didn't have that option. This one takes an ice cube.

Thanks! Maybe obnoxious, but music is very important.

Harlen D. Wheatley CLIX Vodka

Bit sweet no burn but a warming feel. Has a pleasant finish with no alcohol burn. My Russian friends prefer a bit more punch. Comes in an amazing case for the bottle which is all you are really buying. The bottle itself is ridiculously heavy as well with a replacement top for later use as a cognac decanter. — a year ago

@Somm David T I gave it to someone for the 50th. Getting it engraved was next level. Didn’t even think of that but wow would that make it special.

Eagle Rare Aged 12 Years Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This is actually the new Eagle Rare 12 year, which is really dumb because a lot of Eagle Rare is released at 12 years. Marketing? Tarrifs? Either way, I had to buy it to maintain one of my contacts. I also scored a cool tequila aged in Elmer barrels, which I shall review this week.
This bourbon is great, as ER always is. It's my desert island, everyday sipper.

Love The Cure. Looking back I’ve had a 10 and a 17. Never any labeled as 12.

Brand new this summer. Gimmick. My gal at the store offered me an ER Double (20 year) for $3000. I politely declined 😁

Forgot I had this. Very similar to Eagle Rare, most likely the same mashbill. A little bit higher proof, though. It's like Buffalo Trace with a little extra everything. — a year ago
