So the wife and I head to the local booze mart and ask about George Stagg 09 Bourbon...1 bottle left...$59. The wife looks at me like I have 2 heads as I already have 1 bottle of Hacienda Tequila, 1 bottle of Benedictine,she threw in some wine, and a big azz bottle of Makers in the cart...so I tell the guy I must pass (I know I will regret it). Anyways he asks why I am buying the makers when I can 2 bottles of Old Weller from 2 different casks...tells me how much better it is than the floor cleaner I am about to buy (still like it). So I get home and pop the top on cask #30...very aromatic, I can smell oak and caramel notes abound...I go straight up no ice/no splash...a bit thin but very flavorful! What a great affordable whiskey! Have any of you folks had this?
