Old Weller Bourbon Whiskey

[e-man67]

So the wife and I head to the local booze mart and ask about George Stagg 09 Bourbon...1 bottle left...$59. The wife looks at me like I have 2 heads as I already have 1 bottle of Hacienda Tequila, 1 bottle of Benedictine,she threw in some wine, and a big azz bottle of Makers in the cart...so I tell the guy I must pass (I know I will regret it). Anyways he asks why I am buying the makers when I can 2 bottles of Old Weller from 2 different casks...tells me how much better it is than the floor cleaner I am about to buy (still like it). So I get home and pop the top on cask #30...very aromatic, I can smell oak and caramel notes abound...I go straight up no ice/no splash...a bit thin but very flavorful! What a great affordable whiskey! Have any of you folks had this?

I'm a regular drinker of the Old Weller Antique 107. I also like the Weller Reserve for a cheaper bourbon. Love me some weller!

Me and my buddies usually go with Evan Williams... lol probably as cheap as it gets..

I usually just drink plain ol' W.L. Weller.

How different is the Old Weller from this? they're both fairly cheap, but is the Old Weller worth the few extra bucks?

You passed up Stagg for $59?:scratchhe

I keep some around and always come back to it once in a while. Good stuff! Great for the flask on the golf course, too!

ive never met another person outside my circle of friends who had a bottle! great to hear one of the brothers likes it..

I love it for the price. I can't always justify grabbing a $30 bottle of 1792 or Woodford's when I go to the store. This stuff is $13 a fifth around me, and while not as complex as others, it is very smooth and pairs GREAT with cigars.

Yeah I passed...probably because I have never had it...which is probably a good thing...my tastes are expensive enough!
