Weller has seven signature expressions.
Well...W.L. Weller has seven signature expressions.<br /><br />Weller’s original wheated bourbon, and perhaps the brand’s most notable expression, is Weller Special Reserve. Weller 12 Year is another unique offering, as it is aged far longer than most wheated bourbons, making it especially smooth. Weller’s other expressions include Weller Antique 107, and Weller Full Proof, which has a proof of 114, and is distilled without chill filtration. Also significant is William Larue Weller, the brand’s unfiltered, hand-bottled, barrel-proof expression. Finally, as of summer 2020, Weller Single Barrel is slated to be an annual release. <a href="" rel="nofollow">wl weller</a><br /><br /><a href="" rel="nofollow">stagg jr</a><br /><br /><a href="" rel="nofollow">stagg jr bourbon</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003812814565985230.post-62645810359339369622021-12-23T06:46:43.687-05:002021-12-23T06:46:43.687-05:00The taste of Colonel EH Taylor is marvelous.

May be barrel / batch variation, different palates, who knows. If you pick one up let us know how it turns out...SmokyBeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01037600157562644580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003812814565985230.post-66472134885632463992014-05-02T21:07:04.841-04:002014-05-02T21:07:04.841-04:00Any thoughts on the second release (128 proof) of ...Any thoughts on the second release (128 proof) of Stagg Jr. I had the opposite result with decanting the 134 proof initial release. It tamed down and was enjoyable with ice. That being said, the second release is now on sale in PA state liquor stores, and no one seems to be interested. I guess the bad vibes from the first release are still lingering.

Interesting thoughts ...Thanks for the head to head. Interesting thoughts on all if them. <br /><br />First had the EH Taylor awhile ago as LQ store sample. Ended up buying something else. <br /><br />Have a bottle of Stagg Jr that has yet to be cracked, but just had a LQ store sample yesterday. Definitely not a fair shake, but it was great even in a lil plastic pee cup. <br /><br />Been working on my ECBP bottle. Easily the hottest bourbon that has ever opened the olefactory gates in my head. It's like wasabi! The mid palate is delish lasting a good 15 seconds. Lots of good stuff in there. But the finish, you pretty much nailed it. It's not bad, but leaves a little more to be desired. <br /><br />Paid $45 w/ tax for my ECBP and have one more for back up. This is the second release at 68.5%. They've been popping up around town here again in early October so I'm not worried I won't be able find another. Easily the best value bourbon of the year.

I am trying to get some Stagg with this fall release but you never know. I did find several bottles of EH Taylor Barrel Proof at Binny's in Chicago (they ship!). It is extremely fruity, sweet and balanced and although most bourbons I prefer neat, even at this proof, this one is wonderful with a splash.Noel Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995585482168059050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003812814565985230.post-31766851148409266362013-08-13T11:43:35.243-04:002013-08-13T11:43:35.243-04:00Like we said, sometimes you get lucky.

He only was allotted 6 bottles for the whole store, so this does seem to be a limited release...
