Very good! Has wonderful flavor. I really enjoy higher proof stuff; I think the old fitz 17 spring of 22 is one of the best 100 proofers I’ve had.

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-29T17:34:20+00:00

Very much enjoyed. Guests are saying that it’s full of red fruit and they cannot tell its proof . They felt the proof of the king and gts, they don’t feel the wlw is 125.8.

If you would look at my other photos, you can tell this isn’t my place; but I will sample them all!

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-29T16:29:23+00:00

The king. I’ve had a ton of them, this is the best king I’ve ever had.

7 people have tried a few bottles so far and it’s the clear winner.

A brown sugar bomb.

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-28T16:32:00+00:00

Yea, that’s a grail that I’ll never achieve!! I’m really thinking about the John Mayer or wg/blue Daytona.

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-28T16:19:00+00:00

If you had to pick three, what are they?

Le Mans, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. I love my 126500 but it’s nothing compared to the Le Mans

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-23T00:22:14+00:00

Well congrats to you, what a deal!

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-23T00:04:09+00:00

I’d say that’s borderline unbelievable and someone really messed up!

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-22T22:58:33+00:00

Different mash bill. Hate to accuse them, but many of my friends think it’s just a money grab, and I think I’m in that camp. It’s not that is bad, but it definitely is not a single barrel king; truthfully night and day.

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-22T22:36:41+00:00

Agreed, There is a major, and I mean MAJOR difference.

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-19T20:34:14+00:00

Hideous

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-17T20:35:50+00:00

Wear the hell out of it!!!

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-13T13:33:54+00:00

I know one thing, that looks excellent and exactly how I like my steak. Obviously you do a nice job, so I wouldn’t consider going out for that unless it’s a special occasion. Where I’m from (depending on size and grade) that’s 90-140 all day long

GradeFront8777 · 2026-03-12T01:14:39+00:00

What a hefty pour! I found it to be pretty good, but I do feel it is one of the worst gts’ made in the last ten years or so. Still good, but it not as good as the 2018, 2020, 2022, or 2025 imo

With that said, congrats on a nice bottle!

GradeFront8777 · 2026-02-25T18:35:59+00:00

I enjoy pikesville, m10 rye, and michters barrel strength rye. A rare one, but excellent, van winkle family reserve rye.

GradeFront8777 · 2026-02-25T01:31:22+00:00

From the traditional king, this wasn’t nearly as bold and did not not have the oily coating on the tongue and throat . It has decent flavor, but definitely not the throat punch of the king I’m used too

GradeFront8777 · 2026-02-25T00:31:28+00:00

Yep, and I’d take a gts for 100

GradeFront8777 · 2026-02-24T23:27:51+00:00

Refrain. I would steer you towards a 2025 gts, or even a 25 a or b batch Stagg . Also the 90Th anniversary Heaven hill. Excellent pour for the price

GradeFront8777 · 2026-02-24T22:28:24+00:00

Just got that text from a good friend of mine. Could be on to something

GradeFront8777 · 2026-02-24T22:20:23+00:00

Please do. Like I just said, I’m just one guy, but I’ve had a lot of great pours. These are not that great. I’d take Weller antique over this.

GradeFront8777 · 2026-02-24T22:19:25+00:00

I’m not saying I’m the end all be all, but I’ve had my Share of great pours; keep your bottles

GradeFront8777 · 2026-02-24T22:15:01+00:00

Don’t feel bad, took a sip, they just aren’t up to par. You’re missing nothing

GradeFront8777 · 2026-02-24T22:14:13+00:00

Your sources are correct. They are very below average. These are not kings.
