The Philly Whiskey Fest is history. Me, Fricky and Mobourbon had a great time. We got to taste the entire Antique Collection from Buffalo Trace, including the William Larue Weller, ER-17, New Stagg and Sazerac as poured by Chris Comstock. Y'all are really gonna like this collection. We also got to talk shop with Fred Noe and Jimmy Russell - both super guys. I'll try to include a picture:

Joe,

Tell us more about your impressions of the William Larue Weller...can't wait till that hits the shelves at LeNell's!

A fine looking bunch of bourbon enthusiat! It looks like you had fun and Fred Noe and Jimmy Russell are two of the most fun loving distilling people on Earth. Thank for the picture.

The William Larue Weller had a very sweet front end. Sort of a super wheater. Sweet on the middle palate as well. Could not do a perfect evaluation because the pour was only about half an ounce. I do recall that I liked it though. (I did not like the Bernheim Wheat Whiskey). I remember Chris Comstock telling us that the total Pennsylvania release will be about 120 bottles. Good luck finding some.

Thanks for the photo post, Joe! You and Doug look happy enough! Who is this MoBourbon dudester?

The Weller preview sounds like it's a full five pants bottling to me!

PANTS AWAY, BABY!

YEAH!

Linn,
Fred (MoBourbon) is from the SB.com site. He's a great guy and manages one of Pennsylvania's liquor stores.
