Success on all fronts. Will have two bottles out to all y'all Monday.
I know I told everyone individually but it's more fun to share with the class
Where are you located? I can get you a bottle for $100 tomorrow in DFW. Don't really want to mess with shipping and all that mess but if you are fairly close then I'll get it for you.MW03 said:
What do you guys think about Stagg Jr. for $140? Saw that recently, loved the bottle I had probably around 2016, but just couldn't pull the trigger. Sucks because I've been chasing it for a while.
Wow. I was just messing with you snowflake because your question was asking the difference between a W12 and WSR which was humorous because W12, for some reason, has become this incredibly hard to find and highly sought after turd of a bourbon and WSR is just a turd. Both should be $28 but unfortunately only one is now days. Sorry if I offended you. Just having some fun.AggBock said:
Put your hard hat on bud. I got killed for this question. Might as well ask which pappy goes best with Diet Coke?

Really depends on what you like and your budget. Lots of people love Blanton's but I prefer Eagle Rare by far over it and it's cheaper although getting harder to find. If you're brand new to bourbon I think Elijah Craig Small Batch (along with 4R single barrel that you mentioned) is one of the most underrated bourbons that you can find on the shelf. Some other favorites are OF1920 (1910 awesome too), EHT small batch, WR double oaked (goody goody store pick is what I have and it's great).AggBock said:
No problem. I thought WSR was pretty sought after. What do you recommend I pick up? I noticed a makers cask strength at the store today. Should I try that? My favorite so far is four roses single barrel.

Wait a second, where did all the Weller hate come from? Sometimes I feel like the "barrel proof is the best" people simply can't understand that there are people who prefer sweeter and smoother bourbon, and Weller is at the top of the game in that arena if you can find it as MSRP.
WSR is one of the best value buys. The 12 is a well seasoned mastery of the that line of whiskey. Anything aged longer would likely lose more flavor than it would gain. It's not something you would put away for your daughter's wedding or an A&M National Championship, but its not a "turd" by any stretch. If you need more heat, fine. But that's a personal preference and nothing more.

I can agree with that.
And someone above did call it a turd.
