Guy in front of me in line took the last bottle of WLW this year. Next day he sold it on Facebook. I ended up with a KoK so I can’t complain… much
With that Miami dolphins rain coat all I can think of is "laces out"
Congrats on the find! Well deserved 🥃
I’m hoping you guys get a bottle of JD Twice Barreled. Would love a review on it
Was hoping for a bottle flip.
Literally might be my favorite review ever, I love you guys. 😂😂
Perfect bourbon? Possibly. Perfect whiskey? Hell no.
I was very fortunate to taste all BTAC 2022 along with our tasting experts and professional sommeliers. Our ranking was: 1. George T. Stagg 2. William Larue Weller 3. Thomas H. Handy 4. Eagle Rare 17 5. Sazerac Rye 18
Notes: #1 and 2 were close. Most of our members thought even though 2022 William Larue Weller was excellent, they had much better WLW in the past, and 2022 WLW did not reach its potential WLW greatness. However, we felt that 2022 George T. Stagg was one of the best in a few years. Also, this year of Thomas H. Handy was quite exceptional.
I think I know a place in Norcal that has the full BTAC, at least it did last April, if you want to know…
What a great, generous gift. Drink it slow – It's like $2,300 on Caskers.
Congrats on setting yourselves up for disappointment the rest of the year when you think back to this. Well worth it. Love what you guys do. Keep it up!
Will the WLW video push you over the 100k? Man, I’m salivating here. Cheers Junkies
I make the same noise every time I open an Eagle Rare
None of my stores in Illinois have gotten any 2022 BTAC…where did it all get allocated to?
Where’s the bottle flip pansie?
Nope
So now you two should be trying to make a blend to replicate this WLW. It will be difficult but you boys can do it. 😁
Last year, a bar near us got a bottle. In general, it seems like their rule is about 3x bottle price by the oz, give or take. We live in a control state, so that worked out to $14/oz. Needless to say, 5 of us crushed the bottle
Hows it compare to the KOK?
So excited for you guys! Just to see you guys open it makes me so happy! Lol 🤣
Sean: METH!!
And then 9:05 😂
Epic pour of a Unicorn bottle. Almost to 100K Cheers.
You almost could have shot this as a 100k subscribers video, only 100 away at time of posting!
Ive only had 2017 WLW like 3 times 60 for 1.5oz was excellent and worth it
Just had my first taste of this on Sunday, and my reaction was the same!!! Thank you boys!
I have a 2021 WLW, was going to pick a 2022 GTS or Eagle Rare 17 for this year. Should to change my selection if all three are offered and can only get one?
WLW always a good pour, but honestly, I’ve enjoyed the GTS more!!
I was at a speakeasy styled bar on my honeymoon back in 2020. They had WLW. I asked how much. He said $50. It’s the honeymoon, we’re going for it. He came to me with a solid two finger pour of God’s Nectar. Must’ve been at least 3oz. To this day it’s one of the best whiskies I’ve ever had.
Enjoyed that OnlyFans intro. Thanks!
Knowing how much you would pay for a 1 or 2 oz pour, if you saw it on secondary….what would you pay for it?
Er17 is too light for me I actually prefer ER store picks
I got a call on Saturday that I had a chance to buy a highly allocated bottle at retail and I end up with a WLW 22, can’t wait to cracked it open
Congrats on 100k subcribers 🎆 🎇 🎆 🎇
I love you guys, but thanks for nothing on this one. "Best Whiskey Ever, but you'll never get one." 😔
Easily my #1 white whale
One day 🙏🏽
I've only had the 2017 wlw, thanks for making me want to go blow my bonus on one of these bottles
There's a mouth feel from WLW that I have never gotten from another whiskey. It's like a light syrup just PACKED with flavor.
WLW is the best bourbon I have ever tasted… and I've probably tried 200+ different bourbons (no scotch). It is by far the best bourbon, my love, my unicorn, and something I will never be able to afford to own. 🙂
Everyone now loves Nick Jones.
Can’t tell if the bottle is good. Unless we see it flip and how well it rotates
You said that there were 3 whiskeys that may be close on the nose…. what are they?
My best whiskey story ever…
Myself and two colleagues were at the best whiskey bar in Chattanooga TN. I walked by the bar and saw they had WLW on their shelf. I asked the young inexperienced waitress how much for a pour and because it was a business trip, we knew the company would never pay for it if it was pricey. It was way too much so we said that we would go for the Weller Antique instead. We all ordered a double and when it came we all said wow! Why would we ever order anything else? We each ordered three doubles that night and when we got the bill it was over $1000 and was like what!!!!!! I then walked over to the bar again, and yep, the WLW bottle was half empty! We ended up getting WLW at Antique prices all night. Bill ended up just over $100 with food 😂 #bestnightever
I have all 5
Gts and Wlw are top 2
Kind of a coin toss or preference on which you like better. They both 10's
Single rick baby!
Saw a bottle for sale the other day in NYC. Guy told me it could be mine for the low low price of $2400 USD. He still has it on his shelf.
Holy shit, the editing in of "The More You Know" made me snort-laugh!!
You guys are making me want to give up organs to get this stuff
Been watching since your outdoor social distanced stagg jr review. Keep it up gents, can't wait to try some virtue 🙏
I just opened my bottle of 2013 WLW about 3 months ago. Uh-may-zing. Inherited it from my father in law. We should trade samples…
The editing this week is ON POINT. Well done.
It is the best whiskey in the world, that is all.
