Just received a bottle of Weller Antique 107 from my oldest son as a Christmas gift. As good or better than bourbons selling for 2x what it cost. Some really good shit.
JR What's it cost... $35-$40 depending on where you are. For several years it was $28 or so. Gone up. JR
Be strong, be of good courage.
God bless America, long live the Republic.

I got put on the list for Weller 12 today, locally. He said he gets 12 bottles/yr. Said I'd definitely get some.
SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Weller 12 and 107 is great juice. It used to be easy to locate, not so much anymore. Everything from Buffalo Trace is on allocation, perhaps one day they will catch up with demand...

The Weller 12 and 107 are so far apart in taste and smoothness it's really not fair to call them both Weller...the Weller 12 is aged 12 years the Weller 107 is aged 7 years.

SRH You might not like the price...I'd guess $50 a fifth at least. Several years back I recall paying $50 for a half gallon. Trust me try a bottle of Col. E.H. Taylor for $40. Its 100 proof and in my opinion it's smoother and better tasting.

A very interesting thread.
I drink Scotch , numerous types , but I love the blend of Famous Grouse + I like Black Grouse , then we move onto the Single Malts .
First slug always burns , but then I take a few for the team and it seems to taste better.
My best friend is Jum Beam's Son, or at least he drinks like was , a bottle a day keeps sanity away.

I think a lot of Scotches use old Bourbon barrels.
"There are also expressions now selling in Travel Retail: Laphroaig QA cask (matured in ex-bourbon barrels and virgin American oak casks), Laphroaig PX cask (matured in three types of wood – from American oak to Quarter Cask to Pedro Ximenez ex-sherry), Laphroaig An Cuan Mor – Big Ocean (matured in first-fill bourbon barrels and then in European oak"

Taste like they use something old...I figured it was old hog troughs.

You all inspired me to have a Scotch tasting party last night.
10 single malts.
18 y/o Sherry casked Glendronach
Was the winner.
Surprisingly, the smoky peaty (bacon like flavored) Bunnahabhain 12y/o was second
Usually the peaty ones are off putting to beginners.
I drink bourbon frequently, but find some a little too sweet, or corn flavored.
Woodford reserve is nice on occasion.
Out there doing it best I can.

You think the winner was mashed in a hog trough to give it that bacon flavor ?
