I used to split the bottle 50/50 in a decanter and leave them for a while to breathe.. made them much better.. I might add the pappy wasnt as expensive as it will be now.. think it was a couple of hundredQuote:

Not tried the Weller wheated, the last time I was in the States, I asked the guy in the Liquer store about bottles of Pappy and he just laughed.Quote:

Still it was fun. never have that kind of enjoyment again
