I finished off an '07 recently (bottled on the 204th day :cool:) that was also sublime and could compete with any of the top shelf bottlings like BTACs. I'm waiting to coax similar flavors out of a...

And Pete, The Spirits Blog by David Driscoll of K&L, though not independent, is a recommended and informative read. He is a self aware writer who has a way of weaving his stories with insightful...

May I also suggest Danger that your blog, which I agree with Wade is interesting, include more info about who you are. You did it here on SB, so I paid attention to you as a newcomer. But with the...

Possibly the end of March. It's usually a 2 times a year event...more info in this post below and you can find history on all prior gatherings in the Bourbon Social thread:

Yes indeed Steve. This generally seems to be the situation for me. I think your on to something. Taste is reliant on both taste buds and nerves. The facial nerve is attributed to carrying the signals...

There is no easy answer because of all the variables in production and of course mouthfeel itself (oiliness, viscosity, texture) can have a wide definition. Column still, cuts made, distillation...

Excellent and informative post Flyfish and great work you put into it. Semi-blind is the next best thing to blind and do it myself regularly. I'm still not interested in the Kirkland but enjoy...

I am a Costco member but it is good to know, at least in Illinois, you don't have to be. Nice notes on this bourbon too Charlie...good enough for me to continue to pass on it :grin:.

Here in "Chicagoland" there is certainly now a run on PVW and Stagg/WLW, that really kicked in hard just 2 years ago, but that's really about it on what you can't find. Binny's itself has 27...

And a fair comparison with the Weller would be the Special Reserve which is closer in proof and age to the Larceny. Or adjust the OWA from 107 proof down to 92 proof. Weller 12, of course, is also...

Spot on observations BarryL. Not bad for a Novice :grin:. I just bought my second bottle on sale for $18.99. I only had a few tastes of my first as it gave up its spirit quickly at the KBF gazebo...

Well maybe we won't get to a majority but maybe a minyan...as long as we're not drunk :grin:.

Don, You were decent enough, as a first poster, to fill in your location and profile which is enough to draw a polite response from me. It's not a bourbon but a Canadian and as a thread you'd be...

Welcome Eric, We are on schedule to have 2 Chicago area get togethers a year at the South Loop Binny's. Next one won't be till fall but try to make one and you can meet some of our other infamous...

The best blind tasting is if you can get with a few people and have samples provided that are not even from your own stash. It is amazing when you are totally clueless how surprised and mistaken,...

I've only got one in the bunker, a sealed 1/9/09 bottling, signed by Jimmy, and based on what I've heard so far I guess it might as well just stay that way. I had some good success with dusty hunting...

The Rite Aid in Henderson KY. doesn't have a vast selection but the best prices around. They have the full line of Bartons. They also change up what's on sale every week or two for an even better...

Gary, I know there is not one yet in your exact neck of the woods but Binny's, from the four I was recently in, appear to have obtained fresh stock of these in the last month. As soon as I get rid of...

I'm gonna hunt me down and try a bottle sometime soon on account of Joe and Josh and I like the "what WT 101... was" thing too. I do mean hunt as it's rarely seen here.

Here's what I said about my first sips of a Binny's bottling back in June on the "What Bourbon are you Drinking" thread...

The Binny's bottling of the Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve which is...

Not according to Ron and Brad. They must just have better taste, like me :lol:.

I suggest some true blind tasting comparisons against other wheaters and you might be pleasantly surprised. In doing this I preferred it over Very Special Old Fitzgerald from the Heritage Collection,...

You know I'm starting to feel the same way and I'm talking about current bottles too.

I'd suggest you add your thoughts on Delilah's to this thread started hear on 5/5/11 by mrviognier http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15852

Hey Mr. Rutledge how about Yellow Label at 100 proof or even barrel proof? I'm sure there are many reasons why not, especially considering Four Roses and their innovative releases, but one can always...
