I would have had to buy all that Weller. It's about impossible to get here. I haven't seen anything but the SR around here for nearly a year.

I don’t know what kind of relationship they have with the distributor because I have gone into some of the bigger stores in Tulsa and everyone says it is a unicorn. These people have it on their shelf.

I'm in central OK. I hear of someone finding it here or there in your area once in a while but I haven't made a trip up that way to try and find some.

Same here. I would have bought a few at that price.

Happy Repeal Day, folks!

Yes, on this day in 1933, Prohibition was repealed! So to celebrate this most holy of days here at Rancho Serious, I went to da store and plunked down the cash.

Tried this Woodford Reserve Master's Collection oat with Jackdog on Saturday:



Grabbed some long-awaited Garrison Brothers Balmorhea and some Weller:



And the Michter's Sour Mash is really good. Had some with a buddy staying at my place a week ago, and it was pronounced "Muy Delicioso!"

I've been meaning to pick those up to experiment with. I use the hell out of Angostura Bitters, but that could add some new tastes to some of my drinks.

Speaking of experiments, the Master Distiller at BT appears to getting ready to release one 15 years in the making. One of my friends showed me this article . . . so it looks like there will soon be another bottling from the Sazerac company that I am gonna want to lay my hands on by won't be able snag unless I get really lucky or fork over a portion of my 3" K-Frame fund.

Of the many variables involved in making good whiskey — time, climate, finishes, water, proofing all among them — Old Charter Oak is honing in on just one: the barrel. Every expression of the new Old Charter Oak (which has releases planned through 2030) will use the same mash bill as Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare, but they will be barreled and aged in different types of oak. According to Wheatley, Old Charter Oak was basically a science experiment he started close to 15 years ago.

“We take for granted how much we actually know about how to manipulate the whiskey,” Wheatley said. “How does coarser grain oak play with it versus a finer grain? What about the age of the tree? Does it matter where the tree is from? Frankly, we didn’t really know what would happen [when we started Old Charter Oak].”

Wheatley and the rest of the Buffalo Trace team theorized what experimenting with various woods for barreling would yield, and, according to him, some of those theories are starting to flesh themselves out. “They don’t taste similar at all and that’s the first thing we noticed,” he said. “It gives us a lot more belief going forward.”

The Evan Williams is a good buy for the money. Picked that bottle up for $14 today. It's not a Weller's Antique, but at 1/2 the price, it's definitely a good buy. Was not a fan of it neat, but with a couple of ice cubes, it opened up nicely. Will buy again.
