Working at BT as a tour guide I will tell you it’s all the same barrels. American white oak number 4 char. The difference is placement in the warehouse. Pappys are tasted by the family of van winkles and if they pass that, they then are sent to a panel of experts who have to agree that it is in fact a pappy.

It’s all the same mashbill. They only have 3 mashbill, mash 1 is BT, eht, stagg, eagle rare. Mashbill 2 is higher rye that’s Blantons, rock hill farms, ancient age, the mashbill 3 is wheated that’s weller, pappy. The Rick house placement and time makes the difference. It’s pretty amazing how it changes so much.

Hey Brewzle, I’m glad you put up this video. I’ve always said that Weller 12 was one of the best Weller products on the market, and after years of hunting and acquiring them, you are right that some of them are just oak bombs. I’m not sure if some of them just weren’t blended correctly or what, but 95% of the bottles I find are like the one you had in the video, delicious.

For what it's worth, I've had a similar experience with the W12. My very first pour was quite delicious. This was at a bar. The bottle I acquired? I actively dislike it. They are definitely blending in some sub par barrels from time to time. Also, the older a bourbon gets, the more eccentric it has the potential to be. Some become absolute stars, and others...well, they messed up. Flavor consistency seems much easier to achieve with younger whiskies such as WSR, OWA or WFP.
