Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

Finally felt like my pallet was in the right place to open this one up….
The nose is ridiculous. The pallet is so full and oily. Finish is a heavy medium. Lots of Sweet oak. Lots of flavors over each sip. Really on eye opener that makes you appreciate the fine’r bourbons. I can’t get enough of this one. Need to find another one to bunker
Picked this up from a Friend. 80 proof. Nice when you just want a sip and not tag on a Barrel Proof. I get a lot of peach on the nose, very lite. It will be great to share with friends that drink that Irish stuff…
After a few WT 101's decided needed something different, a Tequila Old Fashioned. Single Gibraltar rocks glass, splash of agave nectar, a good 8-10 dashes of Jerry Thomas' bitters, 2 Oz of Tequila and some good ice. Used an older bottle of Chinaco Anejo since it was close by. Normally not what I'd use in a cocktail or mixed drink, this works fine with something like El Jimador (the cheaper line of Herradura).
The only thing I’ve ever added an ice cube to for a few seconds has been a Bookers.
This Wellers Full Proof is 114. It’s delicious. The proof makes the finish last. A little oily helps keep the finish going. Lots of Vanilla buttercream. The oak is fantastic with a hint of cinnamon. It would be interesting to know the age statement on this. Highly recommend trying a pour if you like wheaters.

It's a no on the wheat for whiskey or beer.
My buddy likes 94 proof stuff. He didn't care for 115-130. I got him on ice cube now and he realised the flavor he was missing.
In the summer I mix or ice some times, in the winter it's normally strait or chased. The 94's just go in a chilled glass if available in summer.
Not sure where that habit came from.
There is something for everyone out there.

The fact that I had to dig EIGHT pages deep to find this here thread tells me that the boozehounds are about to get their cards revoked!! Compounded by the fact that (as you so called "booze hounds" or "aficionados" can clearly see) I am at the bottom of the bottle, the angry rabbit says it all.....
People in the know don't buy that shit at all....people that don't buy it for the bottle and dump out the juice. Haha
My purple tops on the other hand....entirely different ball game.
Huge let down for me.... over hyped and wayyy overpriced....EC BP and EC BP SP are where it's at! Just cracked another one I picked up in Maine last week. Delicous
I’m in Michigan so finding Willett is not going to happen. If any of you have it available I would be interested in a bottle or 2… would like to try the 4 year Rye
Same thing goes for Old Carter. Never tried that one either

Purple tops...I get about 1 a yr for 225... they are rare. Gotta build those relationships
Old Carter I get 2 or 3 a year. Little easier to find and also about 200-225...
EC BP are my favorite and much easier to find. I grab every store pick I can get my hands on!
Nice collection! Yeah, they are just not available for purchase in Michigan. I have been on a Weller Full Proof kick lately. Seems like the higher proof makes the finish last forever…. The viscosity of it helps a lot to
Any particular proof point you like on the ECBP store pics? I seen a couple by me at 133, 135 and 138

I love them all...anything 130-135 have all been delicious but I'm a high proof fan.
Well I had no idea it was so terrible.....personally I think it's quite good. I have never seen it up here in my AO, it's always the same stuff around here. Past few years while vacationing or passing thru KY. I've stumbled across some great finds. Meh....service rifle sluts have different palates....
Did a little head to head today. Results were surprising. The plain off the shelf SB was by far better. So far, not impressed with the 13.
You can send it my way! For me the RR13 has a beautiful Rickhouse note… like they squeezed the barrel sweat out and bottled it with the Turkey juice…
Russell’s is top 3 for me. My daily is the Red Russell’s Reserve.
