This BT pick is from Petite Cellars and is really good. I’m trying to hold off on sipping anymore ORVW for a while lol. This is the problem whenever I open s new bottle lol. I always feel like I have some much, so I can have a pour.
@gurgalunas @marshall9779 I haven’t done a side by side but have drank both the same night. I feel like there are definitely some similarities, but the ORVW seems more creamy, somewhat smoother, heavier mouthfeel, longer finish. The ORVW has a nice woody note I can’t remember OWA having. I enjoy OWA, but ORVW definitely is on another level in my opinion.
Trying to finish off this Oceans Wheat. It's not bad, but not a favorite, especially for the price... First, and last Jeffersons I'll buy. Too much good bourbon out there at a fraction of the $...
You describe exactly what I would expect. Woody note, better finish, better mouthfeel. I've got both, just havent opened the ORVW. Same with VW12 and W12. Plan to do SxS with both pairs at some point... I'd throw in the WLW at 12.5 yrs too, but I know how that comparison would end up. Dont want to make the W12 and VW12 look bad.
I gotta give Buffalo Trace another go, maybe a store pick this time. Just wasn't a fan of the nuances, but I am open to another go at it. Also I can see you're a fan of Impractical Jokers. I got almost my whole family into that show; it's the perfect medicine after a long serious work day.And now some BT store pick after battling the kids over sleep. If only they knew how much they are going to miss getting all the sleep they get now, they would never argue with me.

Go and see them live if you can. They’re even more hilarious. And show some clips that weren’t allowed on TV.
LARRY!!!
@BourbonBinder @CVSC085 I love the show lol. Catching up on past seasons now. Gotta say Joe is my favorite as he’ll say almost anything lol. They were actually just in Baltimore like 2 weeks ago, but I didn’t know about the tour in time to make plans.
HAHA awesome. My favorite is Murr. He's a fierce competitor and behind Joe, he wins the most challenges. My friend, who's a NYC Firefighter, knows them personally. Haven't met them yet but I will check out the live show @CVAC085
Finally... Been working on this one since the Jefferson Tasting last fall. Open space on the shelf!There was an article in a copy of Popular Mechanics about how they discovered a flavor difference in kegs of this stuff that was shipped over the ocean, and why it tasted different than the regular line - same bourbon. It was an interesting read. If you want to read it, https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/food-drink/a21272152/jeffersons-whiskey-experiment/
Not seen yet. I'll watch for it, though.
Hadn’t heard of it but looked it up and now I’m really curious. How could you not being a colab between Metallica and Whistlepig. And the whole things about blasting music in the final steps really added a new twist. Unfortunately not carried near me.
