I also totally appreciate the honesty and transparency of your channel. Especially being a fellow Virginian. Please don't change. I have to totally agree with you on 107. I find it totally astringent to a point that I cant drink it. I want to love it so bad but its just not my jam. I was given a 2oz sample of the single barrel and have to say it's second only to the full proof. It's very good, ever so slight astringency up front which quickly gives way to butterscotch sweetness. It so not worth the secondary price though. Just get the full proof, same flavor, less astringency, heavier body, same flavors but dialed up. That is unless you dont like proof. Even then the full proof does not drink 114.
Jaime was so good in this one, and what a fun flight. You’re Poor Man’s Pappy praise has us hunting a Weller Antique after we swore we were done with them (thanks to that funky tannic note you mentioned here). Great video David!
I’ve never had a poor man’s Pappy but I’m drinking a poor man’s Birthday Bourbon. It’s not the 1915 50/50- 1910/1920 This is 65/35- 1910/1920 Have you done this before? Team Old Forester!
I was at a tasting event this week sponsored by Brown Forman and the Old Forester rep said the Birthday Bourbon is made from the juice used for OF 100.
Cheers Bud! This helps me know what I'm getting into. I also won the chance to buy this allocated whiskey in Virginia about a month ago. I haven't cracked it open yet, but I'm definitely saving it for a special occasion.
I’ve had 5-6 bottles of the 107 and I love it for $50. Just can’t imagine liking the Special Reserve over it. But I’ve never done a blind tasting of them either. I could surprise myself.
First off love Jamie's shirt she looks great in it, just today in got that maker's mark kinda over paid for it at $119.99 and a Weller special Reserve for only $35.00 couldn't believe it, but at two different stores, I seen the Wellers at an other stores for $299.99.
Love you Andy your wives channel. I seen a weller single barrel. But no way I was paying $800 for it. Not that I can’t afford it but I just refuse to pay that much for it. I like the 107 more then the SR
Man, the only Weller I found the W SIB to beat out is Weller Special Reserve. I found Antique and Full Proof to be far superior to Weller Single Barrel. But I prefer proof.
I think the Weller 107 got tainted by the air in the bottle. I've noticed some whiskies are super sensitive to air while others seem to be consistent. Consider using argon and/or parrifin film for your rare bottles that you rarely drink and are less than half full.
I recently bought a couple Rare Breeds for $38 tax free on base tho....just saying. Nothing super rare but sometimes there are amazing deals. Did I say no tax?
I havent been able to try 107 on its own yet but im thinking that oaky tannic note is what i dont love about the Poor Mans Pappy as much as the Weller 12
Never tried the SiB. I do have a store pick full proof and might crack it open when my next bottle comes through. I’m starting to find it harder and harder to not leave them sealed while these crazy prices keep going up.
If people truly pay $50 for special reserve I feel like a giant a-hole. I just made an entire 750ml of vanilla extract out of it for my wife’s holiday season baking projects.
@@Beyondwhiskeyrow sorry I was a few JD barrel proof rye heavy pours deep when I wrote that. She reminds me of my ex and she was a bitch. I bet she’s not. Again sorry.
@@GDCeeCee no worries 😂 I actually find that hilarious. I wouldn’t say Im a “B” but after watching this back. Annoying… these videos kill me, I’ve grown from this entirely! Cheers man 🥃

I love your honesty in your videos, David. It’s what makes them genuine. Well done! Cheers from Sweden! 🇸🇪

@@twentyfiveyears5010 that’s good to know, thank you for the information.
Jaime’s channel is at th-cam.com/users/BeyondtheRow1

Special Reserve beating Antique 107!!! 😳😳. That must be one skunky bottle of Antique 107!!! LOL
107 is one of the most dissapointing bottles i have ever bought. Jmho tho...

First sip of the single barrel. Legend.
Man, the only Weller I found the W SIB to beat out is Weller Special Reserve. I found Antique and Full Proof to be far superior to Weller Single Barrel. But I prefer proof.
"I can't believe I let you do that". LOL!
Loving your channel and subscribed to Beyond The Row love both channels 😀🥃
Thank you! Cheers 🥃
Great review

1911s are good too!
You guys are awesome! One of my 🦄 as well.
I've had Weller SiB... it's fine... but I prefer BT's Kosher Rye Recipe.
Can't believe the secondary price, $700 😳
My local bar has single barrels available around $175-$260 thinking about it.
I primarily shop at the military bases package store, I have never seen any Weller products there, rarely any allocated bottles

Dude FAE-02 has become by favorite bottle. I need to find another.
I just picked up a bottle of the single barrel
Great video
I don’t have the SiB but I’m not surprised the PmP won. It’s fantastic.
she got you good
I havent been able to try 107 on its own yet but im thinking that oaky tannic note is what i dont love about the Poor Mans Pappy as much as the Weller 12
2:58 stabilize table before bottle fall & break 😬
Curious to what you think the Weller single barrel taste like after it opens up for a while. Good video, cheers!
I love the theme music is it based on a real song?
Can't wait to open fae02
Never tried the SiB. I do have a store pick full proof and might crack it open when my next bottle comes through. I’m starting to find it harder and harder to not leave them sealed while these crazy prices keep going up.
I know right! Its turning into a collection instead of a bar for me... (bar is open, collection are closed)
Y'all are too cute !
Jamie's absence from Whiskey Row is a mistake, David....
Should put the WLW simple in
I wish my wife loved me like your wife loves you.
1:57 3,000 BOTTLES HAVE JUST BEEN PURCHASED BRCAUSE OF HER CO-SIGN
If people truly pay $50 for special reserve I feel like a giant a-hole. I just made an entire 750ml of vanilla extract out of it for my wife’s holiday season baking projects.
Wooo
I saw a Weller Single Barrel once in a liquor store. They wanted $1100.00 for it. I didn’t get it.
Weller Special Reserve is no way better than Antique 107.
I am still in shock she took Davids Weller cherry.
The video thumbnail should be a Jamie pic instead of David, she steals the show.....TEAM JAMIE!!!!!
Jamie rules.......
It is literally the same juice for 10 times the price in the ugliest bottle!!
Keep her out of your videos and I’ll watch more.
😂😂😂 it’s a good thing I have my own channel now. Keep watching David, he’s amazing👍🥃
