What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

A very kind (NATHAN) and thoughtful (NATHAN) member of this board (NATHAN) sent me a wonderful bottle of Weller Special Reserve. In good conscious I can’t mention his name (NATHAN) but I will forever be grateful. You know who you are (NATHAN). Thank you!

EDITED TO ADD: I poured myself a dram as soon as I received it - and there’s no doubt I agree with others who really like this “soft” bourbon. I was actually enjoying a cup of coffee when the mail was delivered so I took a sip of the Weller’s in between sips of coffee. OMG it pairs so nicely!

I told George I wanted to give him something long and hard. He didn't hesitate to provide his address. Odd, guy.

Literally one of the best tequilas I've had and I JUST opened the damn thing. I'm going back to buy the rest at $100 a piece. Find it, buy it if you can.

Shhh... it's a secret!

Nice going, Brent.

Love this stuff.

How do you rate is vs the bourbon? I love rare breed, but finding the rye version has proved difficult.

 

[CigSid]

Just received this from a good friend… beautiful bottle, I hope it tastes as good as it looks…

If I had to pick, I'd take the bourbon over the rye. The rye is really good, but RB bourbon is one of my favorite bottles. There are a couple of other ryes I'd pick in front of this one.

I'll be curious to see what you think once you try it.

Had some Weller antique 107 and it was outstanding! Time to add a new bottle to the collection.

I thought it was just ok. Not something I would buy after trying it.

But don't you know its hard to find, that makes it 1000 times better than what you taste. I like it but I like other stuff that is cheaper and available all the time just as well or better.

Was on amazon a while back and they were doing some Blantons for €55. Not being into Bourbon at the time I didn't give it much thought beyond "that's a pretty cork". Fast forward a few months and I see that particular bottle was being sold elsewhere for €200-250...

Blantons bourbon is just ok. It’s sold for around $100 here and there is plenty of bourbon that’s much better for that price

Amazon sells booze?

 

[Hixs]

Yeah over this side of the pond it does. As they can buy in bulk they're usually cheaper then other online retailers.

Agreed 100%. I don't get the hype, other than it's John Wick's drink of choice.

Pasote XA. After my Colts loss I can't tell if this glass is half full or half empty.
