Great video. I love watching these videos. I've never had these bottles. It's great to at least experience the bottles through you. Thanks for doing them. I really appreciate when you do this.
This now makes me feel like I should have purchased the bottle I found. While on vacation earlier this year, I visited a store there that had the entire antique collection for sale and just was unwilling to pony up for it. Here's to hoping I get a taste of my regret 😂😂
This is an extremely generous giveaway, wow! You should consider making the winner's samples coded so they can have a blind taste test like Randy described.
I woke up this morning hating the fact that I did not have a WLW on my shelf. You have the power to make sure I wake up tomorrow loving the idea that a bottle (granted only 1 oz) is in the mail headed my way.
I have a WLW '22 that I haven't opened yet.. very curious to compare against my open GTS '22 and '23 (waiting for a special occasion)! Thanks for all these reviews!
All the sound effect accompanying the tasting reminded me of the way totally EMBARRASSED my coworker as I made very noisy yummy Sounds as I worked my way through a flight of Van Winkle/Weller bottles at the Bourbon House in New Orleans.😂 Good luck to all but hope I win!
I don’t know why but recent trials of the WLW seemed a little hot for me, which is odd because I don’t mind the proof of your stuff. I just felt the sweet spot for the Weller, at least at the time was in that OWA to FP range.
I have had the Weller some time ago and it was so long ago I don't remember much about it. I sure would enjoy the samples you are giving away. Very cool video.
I was lucky enough to have a pour of GTS and WLW back to back both the 2023. It was a half ounce pour of each and I thought GTS was quite a bit better. That is not a knock on the WLW because it was amazing but the GTS was probably the best thing I have ever tasted!
Everyone's budget is different. The good news is there are very few bottles worth more than $150, and many bottles under $60 that drink almost as good as the expensive ones.

Honest question. For a bottle like this, is it ever really bad? Not is it worth secondary. Not comparing one year versus another. Just, is a top tier bottle like WLW ever actually bad?
I have never had a bad WLW. 2023 GTS is tainted with a compound that tastes like potting soil. 2019 THH tasted like pine sol cleaner smells. It doesn't happen often, but occasionally they are off.
Watching this vid gets me more sad about my Stagg BP Unfiltered bottle that broke because some douche almost hit me on the highway so it broke in the trunk 😭😭 i was lucky to get it super near retail all for me to never get to try it
Nice video! What a great guy to bring it to a bottle share! I have GTS 2023 & THH 2023 and both are great! Looking forward to having a pour someday:) I’d buy up to 350.00-500.00:) great giveaway!
I am SO excited to try this someday! I have only had the THH 2023 at a bar near me and I thought it was phenomenal. Have always wanted to try GTS and WLW, but who knows when that'll happen! Here's to hoping I get it! 🥃
When I first had WLW I thought it was the best bourbon I had ever tasted. Since then my tastes have change to more of a high bourbon. I would put KOK and GTS at the top. This is third. Very generous of you. I don't know if I will ever sniff a bottle...
I’ve found WLW several times at the stores around me but never for less than 1600. Needless to say they are still sitting on the shelves at those “museums.” I’ve never tried it but would love to find some that didn’t cost 2 arms and a leg.
Howdy and Thanks Randy! Interesting facts and tasting! 🤠🇨🇱🥃
Great video
Another get video guys🥃🥃🥃
Great video. I love watching these videos. I've never had these bottles. It's great to at least experience the bottles through you. Thanks for doing them. I really appreciate when you do this.
Woooow, cross 3 of my top must tries off the list in one go. Thank you for your generosity to the community.
Our pleasure!
Nice!!!❤
Cheers!
Had a pour of WLW three years ago. Blown away by it! Hope I’m lucky to get one someday. 🥃
Great review, as I said before WLW is my unicorn!
Thank you!
Had an opportunity to try WLW, it’s ama ing!
Never had the WLW- GTS remains my favorite as well
My fav pour of all time

Welcome Brazil! Thanks for watching!
Great Video! 🥃
Thank you!
Awesome video! Personally it’s a toss up with WLW and GTS but I think the WLW comes out on top
Got a bottle this year and drank the entire thing with my friends. I’ve never had anything that tasted better than WLR.
Nice! 👍 Remember, if you woke up this morning and wondered if anyone loved you, just know that we all love you! Great show as always! Cheers!
Lucky to have had the GTS, but never the WLW. Damn good giveaway!
Good stuff.
Cheers!

Good luck!
Would love to win this GW
Appreciate the depth this channel provides, and you can tell these guys are real whiskey dudes 🥃
Oh man. wlw & gts. Soooo good. My wish for a btac to the bourbon gods every limited release raffle.
Like what you stand for and do on this channel. Bourbon brought my brothers and I together. Know we get together every other week.
Thanks so much - we love hearing stories like yours. That's what this is all about.
New to the channel...very enjoyable vids!
Welcome!
Good flight give away.

Never had the GTS or WLW, but have something to work towards
I can only wish to get this bottle one day
Haven't had anything above Weller Full Proof and cant imagine anything more delicious. Help prove me wrong!
Probably one I’d have to win in order to buy or get lucky
I woke up this morning hating the fact that I did not have a WLW on my shelf. You have the power to make sure I wake up tomorrow loving the idea that a bottle (granted only 1 oz) is in the mail headed my way.
Hope is a powerful thing!
Haven’t had any of those as of yet. Great content. Thanks.
Wow, 1st time watching, great content, need to try that sample of WLW! Powerful message at the end of this video. Love you guys too! 👍🙏
Welcome, we're so glad you're here!
Thanks for the video. Need to find a WLW soon.
Never had it before, but here it’s awesome
one of my dream bottles...
❤
I’ve had Full Proof but never had GTS or WLW. That would be cool to try them. Thanks for the opportunity!
I have a WLW '22 that I haven't opened yet.. very curious to compare against my open GTS '22 and '23 (waiting for a special occasion)! Thanks for all these reviews!
Being new to the burbon world, always impressed by the information I learn watching your videos
Now that's a giveaway! Cheers guys.
All the sound effect accompanying the tasting reminded me of the way totally EMBARRASSED my coworker as I made very noisy yummy
Sounds as I worked my way through a flight of Van Winkle/Weller bottles at the Bourbon House in New Orleans.😂 Good luck to all but hope I win!
Wow, sounds incredible. Excited to finish the video. I actually never see this bottle. I see Eagle Rare 17 and Sandra’s all the time but never WLW.
I've been searching for aER17 for a friend's special Bday (70)
Let’s go!!!
I didn't know you are interested in Whiskey.
Watching this video is the closest I’ll get to this bottle.
Maybe you will win!
Wow, I'm always impressed with how generous you guys are. Great tasting notes, too. Sounds like an incredible pour.
I don’t know why but recent trials of the WLW seemed a little hot for me, which is odd because I don’t mind the proof of your stuff. I just felt the sweet spot for the Weller, at least at the time was in that OWA to FP range.

The Scotch guy gave it a 90! We'll convert him to bourbon yet. 🙂
He said in the 90's. He is not used to being on camera and likely didn't want to answer with a definitive answer before he heard our opinions.
I had a bottle of 2020 WLW that I had nursed for years. Finally killed it with a few of my best friends on my 40th birthday this year.
I am a true Weller Fan. Even though I haven't been able to purchase any for some time. Would be extreamily happy to win the 3 ounces.

Antique 107 is my favorite. Would love to try these other pours for the first time.
I'm still at $150 limit for pretty much any bottle, but I'm broke
