Discord is a great platform.

It can be difficult to navigate for old people.

I just had WLW for the first time and it's insanely good. The finish lasts for ages.

One edit and you still didn't fix it. How many glasses are you in?

Haha I tried. I went OWA, WFP, WLW so was feeling pretty good at the time.

I'm moving from Texas to Colorado next month so I haven't bought any new bottles of bourbon.

So all I have is a couple bottles of WT101 left over from my wedding. I have a list that I plan on getting once I get settled though.
Aggie Therapist

I recommend the following bottles if you are just getting started:

Weller 107
EHT Small Batch
Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Maker's Mark Cask Strength
Old Grand Dad 114
Eagle Rare
Rebecca Creek Spanish Oak (buy a couple before you move!)
Weller Special Reserve
Buffalo Trace
Old Forester 1920
Angles Envy
Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered

I love WT. What are you planning to hunt?

This is my list so far


Aggie Therapist

That's a great list!

I recommend replacing 1792 Small Batch with 1792 Full Proof. There's always a lot of store picks around and much better.

Question:

What is the difference between a wheated bourbon and a rye?

I know the technical difference but what about the taste difference?

Where are you living right now? We might need to taste test in the next month before you leave so you can experience it!

Houston.

Unfortunately the move is so close all my free time will be filled with moving activities or goodbye dinners with family and friends

Wheaters are typically lighter and I get sweeter vanilla/honey notes. Rye's have a spice finish

Wheated bourbons are typically "sweeter" and Rye's are typically "spicier".

That list looks pretty dang solid and basically listed out the top shelf of my pantry.

You'll typically get a more forward fruity note on wheaters as well. Ryes are spicy like everyone has mentioned, but I also think of grain forward as a good way to describe them.
ConfidentAg

Well I'm going to need some Wheated recommendations

Edit: meant the thumbs up

Easy to find?

  • Larceny (BP if you can find it)
  • Makers (the private selection ones are good and usually readily available),
  • Wellers SR (but obviously 107, 12year, etc would be better)

Anything Weller is going to be just about as wheated as it gets, although Frey Ranch apparently makes a 100% wheat whiskey that sounds fun to try, but for something more obtainable I really don't think there's a lot of better options than Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat (either the Bottled-in-Bond or Rickhouse Proof).

Because you're moving to Colorado (congrats btw, that's a big life milestone that you should enjoy), I would also try to find an Old Elk (from Fort Collins Colorado) Wheated Bourbon.

Don't sleep on Holliday Soft Red Wheat- rickhouse proof is very tasty!

I'm dying to get my hands on some distillery only stuff from them.
Bigfootisreal

Hmm- I am intrigued! Had a store pick rickhouse soft red wheat sample and it was pretty darn good as well. I think I saw on Seelbach's that they have a 7 year bourbon. May need to roadtrip!

Shout out to Tom Cardy for providing me the motivation to go to my Specs!

If you aren't sending a good morning text to your specs guy, then somebody else is.

For Wheated I know everyone loves their weller. But don't sleep On Makers 46 esp the barrel strength or french oaked. Private selection goes without saying.

These are amazing pours that sit on the shelf.
