“Spicy WSR” is a 3:1 blend of Weller Special Reserve + Stagg Jr. With Weller Special Reserve (green label) being on the underwhelming side and Stagg Jr. sometimes coming in too hot for many, putting them together can create a pleasant Weller profile with a little kick. Stagg Jr. The two mashbills marry well and create a unique experience we really enjoy. All in, this blend can be made for around $65 total.
