Got lucky 5 weeks ago. Walked into one of my stores and on allocated shelf was Weller Single Barrel and a Blanton’s. Got both at msrp Agree the Maker’s Mark is terrific and the BRT-01 & 02 , for me, are even better.
I like fae02 so much after having 1st bottle I got 4 back ups. FYI I know your wife loves maple flavor. Just got so Dads hat rye finished in maple barrels and another finished in honey barrel. Man are they good. They are out of Bristol pa. Special runs.
Pa state stores. Got it in at my local location. Was 2 bottle day limit. Bought 2 tried that night. Loved it went back got 2 more. Then did search on there website store 3 miles away showed in stock grabbed 2 . Yesterday ecbf b hit all our stores. Store I go to had 5 cases in stock hour before closing I was o ly bottle sold.
I had Weller FP at a tavern a few times and loved it. Wish I could find one of my own. The FAE02 is money. I'm looking forward to the next wood finishing series by MM.
Nice video but I would have liked to hear your opinion of what the WFP is “worth”. We all know that MSRP is out of the question. So the discussion is whether it’s a $100 bottle, $200, etc.
Your palate and ours are in lock-step in this one David, even down to the opinions on Full Proof compared to 107 (which is definitely a minority opinion but it’s good to see it out there for some balance). Great video!
Got my 1st full proof over the winter - is a store pick - it’s very nice but not overly special- had a pour of a regular Full Proof (not store pick). Now that was bordering on special (excellent). I’ve heard regular bottles better than picks and my limited tasting agrees with that!
I am a rye guy, but have to admit the full proof , 107, and 12 year are pretty solid. I personally do not blind to find what I like or dislike but find out what I like more.
You have to consider that the wfp you have is a non store pick. The store pick wfp’s are significantly better. Hopefully you can try a store pick at some point
This is why I like your podcast. Even if the Weller was easier to find(especially closer to MSRP), you tell us what you like AND why you like it. Some of the flavor profiles don't appeal to my developing palate, but hope springs eternal.
It ok had some tonight, dont need it again

Have WFP Total wine store pick. Haven't cracked it yet. Hope it's a bottle I love.
I feel extremely lucky now that I know what this is my neighbor gave me half full bottle of this stuff and it is good

Damn, where'd you get 5 bottles of FAE02? I was lucky enough to get 1 each of 01 and 02 and been searching for both ever since.

@@thomascrompton7775 wow, that's awesome for you!
Good thing also because state run if you ever find good bottles they have to be sold at msrp. Little bit ago think they were 60 bottle.

Weller Full Proof is the only option in the Weller line that I would hunt for. I think your flavor profile is spot on - vanilla cherry cola. Loved it.

I was lucky to grab a Full Proof at coat $62. I’ve seen the secondary price on these and OH MAN 🤦🏻♂️. I’d rather pay for a Russell’s 13
I still haven’t come across a Weller full Proof at MSRP. :(

Hype. Same with Pappy. I will say the Weller Full Proof reminds me of Van Winkle 10 but not as bold. For me the Makers picks are way better.
I’ll have to find FEA02. Markers Mark 46….not a fan. Hope I can find someone to give it to. 😂😂
Still have that OKI if you want it, under Nicolas, if not I’ll open it

Couldnt be further from the truth.
@@bradlowrance4367 why is that?

Thank you for your objectivity. It would have been easy to say the Wellers was better due to its exclusiveness.
I was hoping you’d try it in another Weller blend like Poor Man’s Pappy
Were you up in Gainesville a few days ago? I SWEAR I saw you at Sheetz but didn't want to be a weirdo, lol!
I’ve had about four of these and all are different. Range from 70 to 150 ( charity for a local bar)
Hype monster.
Its good, but not for $150 to $300. Would i buy it for msrp, sure, but good luck with that.
I have the FAE02, but I need to find me one of those Wellers :)
The store picks I've owned/tried have been very good, but aren't worth the $300 price tag they command.
A total hype monster.
Have you tried Makers 101?
Bought a bottle for 50$ and haven't opened it but I'm glad I have one because it's rare in Chicago
I get these for 36 bucks lol
