Nice. I just picked up the same "Mother Thumper" 6 year bottle while visiting Phoenix this weekend. My first Willett purple top after many years of searching.

The bourbon gods love you. Keep getting these great bottles. I have never seen a Willett purple label here. do a blind with stagg jr, williett and van winkle... even if you think you would be able to pick the van winkle... having 3 blinds would help. thanks for sharing. cheers.

Glad you like the Willett! Gotta say Stagg is much easier to find than Purple tops which rarely make their way to AZ.

Not lately! I have heard of so many Purple tops hitting in the last month. But I know this is anecdotal. Stagg's most recent batch has just not dropped yet. Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

I have a purple top willett and I got it from a liquor store in Arizona on my way back from the Grand Canyon. Was it expensive? Yes ($175) but that’s significantly cheaper than what they go for everywhere else I’ve seen them (for a 6 year purple top). Mine was super hot off the neck pour. It’s mellowed out since then but there’s a ton of spice and also a noticeable youthful grain note on it.

@JC Marasigan I think they are bottles I would never pass up at retail, or maybe 15-20% more, so $175 would be just fine. Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

@@yourdrinkingbuddy honestly don’t even know what retail was on a 6 year purple top but couldn’t pass up on it cause that price seemed like I wasn’t gonna find it for cheaper and because the hunt always leads me to the next bottle with so much potential. Cheers!

Purple tops are such a cool different high end bourbon, I can see why there is a cult following. The older willet you try the more you want to keep trying older higher proof ones.

I'm hesitant to seek out the purple top because I'm just not crazy on the Pot Still Reserve bottle that I've tried to allow now for several months to open up. I know the proof points are vastly different, cask strength verses 94 proof, but does the purple top taste different? What say you drinking buddy? What should I do?
@yourdrinkingbuddy
@yourdrinkingbuddy Год назад
I would have to compare the two to see if it is a similar flavor profile. I like the Willet Pot still since it became their juice, which was very recently. You might check and see if you have one of the older sourced ones. I will say when it comes to Purple Tops, the price is HIGH. So I don't blame you, not wanting to take a flyer on them... Cheers buddy I hope that helped? Thanks for everything buddy! 🥃

It does. It teaches me to be more careful when opening a bottle around the neck. I think I clipped the bottle # info around the neck. Oh, well, it probably is an older bottle or a bad bottle. Thanks DB!@@yourdrinkingbuddy

Let's be clear though. These bottles vary GREATLY! some are really good and some are drain pours... Get to know the barrel numbers and recipes and don't overpay just because it's a purple top.

@@yourdrinkingbuddy I am a fan of Lowland Scotch and I’ve heard it said that it’s similar. Armorik is a Breton single malt that I really like. Brittany and Normandy have such interesting drinks and food, Bretons are the descendants of Celts from England who fled from the Anglo Saxons to France, and Normandy was founded by Vikings who the French king gave land to, in exchange for stopping being Vikings (Norman ~ Norsemen), so there are interesting mixes, Breton whisky and Norman cider/Calvados apple brandy.

The old sourced WFE were BTAC level and higher. This younger stuff distilled by Willett themselves is trash to me. You should stick this in a blind.
