i've got a weller antique gathering dust on my shelf. no one will pick it over any other whiskey on my bar...
i should note that i prefer high-rye style bourbons, but certainly appreciate a good wheated bourbon. the wellers i mentioned just dont excited my palate.

I would take that Weller Antique off your hands if you're really that indifferent.
I like a little bit of everything. I am a big fan of Rye (and high rye in turn) but also enjoy quite the smattering of other offerings.
I tried out the Cragganmore 12 last night and really enjoyed it as an intro into peat. I then had a small glass of Talisker 10 after shoveling the drive and also really enjoyed that one. I am going to try out the Lagavulin 16 tonight and if I enjoy that half as much as the others, maybe I will try the Ardbeg Corryvrecken again.
