Favorite Whiskey?

Had to go rescue a buddy who is snowed in and take him to the NEX this morning. Scored this for half the price of what it is anywhere else around here. I have wanted to try it for a while but wasn't ready to spend $125+ on a bottle that some claim is more gimmick than quality.

 

Been wanting to try this.....let us know your thoughts

 

I'm very surprised the notes on this. Thought it was just a gimmick bottle. Don't hesitate to buy it if you find it in the wild.

 

RIFF small batch Bourbon!! And a Cubano!

 

I feel spoiled. Cases of these came in at a local liquor store.

 

only a year late....good batch tho

 

Look like great choices. How’s the Old Forester? I’ve only had the 1920 Prohibition, which I love.

 

Tried the Jefferson's Ocean Aged tonight. While I don't think there is anything particularly remarkable about it, I did think it was quite tasty. It was also a nice change to drink some 90 proof as opposed to the BiB and barrel proof stuff that makes up most of my collection these days.

 

Biggest gripe with this bottle is it’s price. It’s simply overpriced.

 

Agreed, I'm very glad I didn't pay the premium price on it at most local stores. At the $66 I paid I am glad to have tried it but I wouldn't pay more than $45-50 for another bottle.

 

I love all the whiskey row series, 1920 and 1910 being the stand outs

the pictured bottle is actually 1915…..it’s a 50/50 blend of 1920 and 1910, it’s honestly really good

 

Home blended? I've had 1920 many times, but not sure about 1910.
I recently tried their bottled in bond and found it quite tasty so I purchased a bottle for my home bar, but haven't opened it yet.

 

Free Whiskey...

 

What I got for Christmas?

 

Anyone try this yet? The original was my first go to bourbon, so aged 10 years has gotta be awesome…right??

 

yup, mixed at home

the 1910 is a double barrel, it’s really good

 

Went ahead and opened my OF BIB tonight:

 

I sent a note to Willitt after tasting the Pot Still bourbon and agree the after taste is less than desirable (dill pickle)...I received a f/u response from KM Britt Kulvsveen Pres and Chief whiskey officer for Willett. Will see what he says after sending him info on where it was purchased and his feedback.

 

f/u = follow up. For a second I thought you received “Fuck you” response. I was like man, that’s messed up…

 

No he was very cordial and with multiple people giving poor feedback on his product maybe he will make some positive changes....
