I absolutely LOVE WT from the 80s.

But I’d also recommend you test that for lead, before consuming.

I picked up a 1984 WT 8/101 back late last year and it unfortunately barely made it before I deployed. It's going to be my birthday dram, I think.

I like those old decanter series, though. I wish the distilleries would bring back stuff like this. The old Chessmen series from Old Crow look cool, and Beam did a lot of different decanters through the 70s. I have my grandpa's (empty) JB "WWII Canteen" decanter from the mid-70s. Wish I had a full one...

14yr 100 proof was fantastic

Tons of butterscotch on the nose.

Then after a 2nd sip it's no longer sweet and very earthy.

Found it extremely complex.

Was thinking of you...


VOSN 17 - at that MSRP it's a hard pass

Way way over oaked. Like coffee in a glass

More so than even OB Old Blowhard was.


The VOSN Cask Strength Summer Rye 118.1 proof was absolutely fantastic.

Was able to snag a bottle of it. It is a must have. Like must have.

Super complex. Tons of flavor and the 118 proof has some heat.


I love Double Double and this one is no different, fantastic.

Wish it would become a regular non distillery release.

Crap lol maybe I will trade it now... was about to open it soon.

I’ll def seek out a double double but might need to start with the regular double oak for a baseline as I haven’t had that

Thanks for the notes on the VOSN rye I’ll take a gander at those too

You can keep that burnt moss water, but that piece of art glass behind it...

assuming it doesn't smell like a burnt band-aid, too.
