That's the same one I had, batch 8. Like you said, layers... I always try to get 3 sips neat before adding. The initial two allow the palate to grow accustomed to the burn, the third is to judge the flavor. If it's still overwhelming, then add...
I had the same issue with mine, also 129.5 proof. It was noticeably hot and i had to add water, which is very uncommon for me, only twice ever (involuntarily).
Matthew McConaughey approved! How does it compare to the 101? Being that you’ve had the 101.Pretty good!
I personally prefer WT101 to Longbranch. I do not like the mesquite charcoal filtering or the lower proof of LB for the $$. I would rather buy two bottles of 101 versus one bottle of LB. My personal rankings of WT I have on hand: Rare Breed > RR10 SiB > RR10 > WT101 > LB. But each person has thier own preference. Drink what you like!!!
Two totally different drinks imo. I personally like the sweet smokeyness but I would have liked it to have a little more kick. I'm also a jd fan so it's kinda like a smokey version of some gentleman. Lb in a slightly chilled glass straight was good. 101 has that proof bite to it though so I kinda think of it like a kc almost. If the lb had a barrel proof I think it would be well well more off. But I dont see them doing it.
Where the hell is my invite?Getting ready for annual St. Patrick’s Day celebrations with my Dad and brothers. Celebrating a day early this year!!

Wow!!!!! Just wowHad another rare one today boys. A very well preserved 1969 aged bourbon at my cigar lounge, courtesy of a generous patron with an ailing father who happened to be a collector. Tasted like liquid brown sugar

I’ll be there soon, sans cigar. Although I do have chocolate. Watching a Friends marathon and indulging in a bit of nostalgia...bourbon & 90’s television.
