Weller Wednesday- always a good choice never upsets
ELIJAH CRAIG SMALL BATCH AND A REPACK FROM FIVE BELOW….FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM
Appalachian Barrel Company is all about story and place, curating rare single barrels from Kentucky. This 8.8-year, 124.92-proof barrel hits hard on the nose - warm vanilla, baking spice, and a hint of smoky char. On the palate, it's rich caramel, black cherry, and a touch of plum layered over toasted oak, finishing long with that Appalachian backbone that makes it unforgettable.
The more I drink this bottle the more I am confused on what I think. Every drinking experience has been either great or a bit too hot and lackluster flavor. Today I got the latter.
Ethanol upfront and I do get the Buffalo Trace berry sweetness but it drinks thin and quick finish as well. The MSRP is pretty wild considering the hit or miss experience I get. The biggest draw is the bottle and the allure of the gold horse top which is a bit shallow but has to be said. It does look mighty pretty on my shelf and when I finish this bottle and I get the chance to pick up another for MSRP. I think I may pull the trigger.

Celebrating a fresh “cork pop” with a screw top! Weller 107 transitioned from screw tops around 2016/2017 so generally screw tops are higher regarded since they generally carry older juice when they were dumped.
On the nose I get milk chocolate, floral berries and powdered sugar. No ethanol, where most cork bottles of 107 I get much more ethanol. Very thick texture and I get ethanol but the berry flavor lasts a long time and warms me up. The finish is really surprising. Much much longer than cork 107 bottles I’ve had.

Picked up a Hooten Young 15 year old 125 proof and Hooten Young Rye 93 proof.
Both really good but man that Rye is so creamy.
