    The curse of a good palate.  I apparently have a shitty palate.  This past Wednesday Spec's finally had Weller SR in stock on Memorial and Westcott so I bought a 1.75L.  I think it was around $39.  I went home and tasted it next to some W12 from last year, and I honestly can't tell the difference.  I've mentioned this before, but I can detect some obvious flavors in my booze, but nuances often are lost on me.  Wheated bourbons tend to taste the same to me.  I consider it a blessing.

    Yea, that's a blessing.   Jealous.

    Struck out on W12 yesterday but my store said Friday.  Ok.

    Did get another Legent and 4R SBS.  Also picked up my first Early Times bib.

    Excellent trio right there.

    I’m pretty convinced low proof decisions are passed 99% on volume rather than taste. I guess the counter argument would be well, Jack Daniels Old No. 7 is the best selling bourbon ever and it’s only 80 proof. 

    I think most of the bourbon connoisseurs will tell you the sweet spot is 110 proof aged 8-12 years. As long it’s not Dickel, it’s pretty hard to mess up those ranges. 

    Obligatory- Jack Daniel's aint bourbon.  ;)

  4. Bill,

    Try the Masters Keep Decades.

    Picking up the Masters Keep Cornerstone Rye tomorrow. Looking forward to that.

     

    Also got the first W12 of the year today. Finally dropped around DFW today.

    So awesome when you score one at retail.

    I better taste it at a bar first. The sweet and dessert stuff has me a little worried.

    How does it compare to Midwinter's Night Dram?

    The MWND is much more spicy than the AE.  It's a lot more your traditional rye with a bit of sweetness to it compared to the AE's level of sweet.
