Scored a couple bottles of W12 this morning at the smith st specs. Pretty pumped about it
You need to flip those as soon as you can.
Poor Man's Blanton's. Virginia Hillbilly swill.
You've met people.
Alright so what's the deal with Weller 12. Everyone I have talked to, heard from or seen says it's perhaps the most overrated Weller product.
Bro I literally went over this yesterday
It's a wheated low proof so it ends up pretty sweet and smooth. I prefer 107, and will never spend the money required for a CYBP or Single barrel, but I like it.
To be fair, someone was probably drunk.
W12 is trade bait that people use for unicorns.
Practically cash

This is more the explanation I was after lol. How it actually tasted and what it was.

We did a blind test of Special Reserve, Antique, & 12 about 9 mos ago. Consensus among the entire group was SR first & W12 last.
It has a great nose, but it taste really thin (not much mouthfeel, good overall flavor though). The experience reminds me of drinking a really good bourbon with ice after the ice has somewhat melted. The 107 is the best (opinion of me and my wife), followed by Full proof, 12 and then special reserve.
That's why my wife's favorite bourbon is CYPB.
Very light and sweet

Just like her man
Never had a pour of that, but always on the lookout for that bottle though.
Light and sweet or wet and brown?
Getting married soon, and I want to do one of those bottles where you sharpie significant events. Anyone have one of those? What events did you mark? This will be the bottle. Very fitting I think.
Blantons drop at Buffalo Trace today

Which one of you is this?
Sorry, my bad.
In my defense, I really wanted that blackberry Crown.
Walked into Specs in Fort Worth on a whim not looking for anything in particular and a worker offered me a bottle of EHT SB. Sold!

This year's W12 was better than past ones in my opinion. I had a pour last night and it's sweet with a nice cherry note and very subtle oak. It's not the most complex pour, but it's good. I actually enjoy it most as a last pour after having something higher proof. It seems to make the flavors more prominent for some reason.
Anyone happen to know if they're going to have W12 in Club Level at the Houston Rodeo again this year? Hard to beat for 5 bucks.
I like wheated bourbons. It is a nice change up from other profiles. Weller is one of my favorites, but I have never found Weller 12 in a store and refuse to pay $200 for a bottle.
I wouldn't pay $200 either. I've gotten it at msrp though and it's a great pour at $45-$50 if you can get it.
One day...if all the taters would just leave me some. I am too busy to hunt.
Haha I hear you. I just got lucky on my W12 and OWA this year. Never seen any of the others.
Bud and Sissy's in Cuero has GB Guadalupe for around $165 and ECBP B523 for $75.
Don't shoot the messenger, just here in case someone is really willing to spend on something they've been looking for. Ranch House in Cuero has the following:
EH Taylor Full Proof - $549
Stagg 23C - $349
CYPB - $549
Weller 12 - $286
Weller 107 - $160
Weller Full Proof - $400
Blanton's - $157
ORVW 10 year - $1,050
Family Reserve 13 year - $1,550
PVW 20 - $2,050
Not sure the year on any of those and if you're really interested in the Pappy bottles, you may want to call and ask details because I didn't see the bottles and the employee didn't seem all that knowledgeable about them.

I don't know what they're thinking on the Stagg. Last year the Stagg they had was $199. Last I checked on their Blanton's, it was $135 or $139. Wanted to laugh and show them secondary values and tell them secondary is going the opposite direction of their prices.
Nice bottles, but this is a museum.khkman22 said:

Is it racist if I ask if the owners are Indian?
Edit: I'm not racist. Raju is my dude.
