So, I have the Stagg Jr. at home and I got to try some of the William Larue Weller barrel strength at a restaurant. Both amazing! Is the proof about the same?

BTAC Weller is usually in the 120's though there was a recent year at 133 so they are comparable with JR being 134.4. What restaurant were you able to find BTAC WLW??? How inch were they charging a pour?

Special occasion...Inn at Little Washington. They also had Eagle Rare 17, Jefferson Presidential 18, Pappy's, Macallan 30. I couldn't afford to try all of them, especially at their prices, so I went with the Weller. I think it was $27. I know......but I had to try it!
 
Yowza!

And here I thought paying $120 for a bottle of the stuff was expensive!

How'd you like it?

I know....but I decided to just go for it. I had it neat and it was abolsutely amazing! The best bourbon I've ever tasted. I liked it even better than the Stagg Jr., and I love that stuff.

And FYI Lanky, this restaurant is one of those seriously fancy, overpriced places. Top 10 restaurant in the country kind of thing, so they obviously charge a premium on everything. But I've never seen the Weller at any restaurant before. Took my opportunity.

Six more JR's just arrived today. That leaves my inventory at 15 sealed and one open. I think I need to stop!

It's ridiculously priced. The Macallan 25 was $150 and the Macallan 30 was $200. I've had the 25 in a Boston restaurant for less than half that.

I just ordered the cheapest of HOF's highly recommended because I really badly wanted to try it and I was already there. I'm sure you can find all those cheaper.

I haven't found a Houston bar with any of Bob's bourbons, but there's a whisky bar I want to try.

This place: looks like they have the antique collection, actually. No clue what they charge per pour.
