Yesterday was our office holiday party, and on the bar's list of free drinks was "Evan Williams 10 year". Worded a little funny, but they must mean the single barrel. Wrong. He grabbed a bottle of EWB and gave me maybe a one once pour. Thanks pal. Made up for it at home with a FR OESO from Binny's.
Jim Beam Black. Better than I remember...
Still trying to get the proportions right, but I think I'm on to something: A vatting of OGD 114 and Willet 4 yr 110 pr Rye (LDI). The "burnt corner of the brownie pan" notes of the 114 meld wonderfully with the mintiness of the LDI Rye. Rich chocolate up front, with the cooling mint (refreshing really), finishing up. Gorgeous combo to my tastes. 1:1 doesn't work (too much mint). 3:1 OGD to Rye is somewhat too much on the bourbon side. The sweet spot is somewhere in between, but I'm figuring more to the 114 side. I look forward to finding it.
That sounds like a helluva mix. Nice.
Little PHC Cognac for me.
ETL. The nose has seem to change to more cherries than the floral scent I was getting when I first opened.
A trifecta from my package from TPS:
4R LE SmB
4R 1B OESQ
AAA 10yr
Loved them all.
Little wheated vertical of WLW '10-12,the '10 is definitely the stand out of the group.Bolder,deeper and more elegant than both by a long shot. IMHO
PHC 6th
TPS wheat on rye II
Larceny
Old Grand Dad BIB
Dump some Rittenhouse in that Larceny and let us know how it compares to the other two! ;)Quote:
