I share your opinion. I've had a few bottles in the past, but recently picked up a new one and the profile has changed. Definite Beam funk in there. Still a great bourbon, but definitely different.

Liquid Gallons are a normal liquid measurement. If you pick up a gallon of milk at the store that is one Liquid Gallon. Nothing fancy.

Proof gallons are gallons based on 100 proof alcohol. That...

Ok, so maybe it's a little high :grin:. Although, you can pay $20 for a pour of Handy at places in Louisville and I don't think you get any more than 1.5 ounces. I think it can still go either way...

Call me crazy, but for $52, I'd definitely do it. I think it's debatable for $68.

I'm not going to spend $300 on a bottle of Evan Williams 23 Year, or $200+ for a bottle of Rittenhouse 25 Year,...

That's what I'm thinkin. Even if I tell him it's about an ounce a day (maybe less), I'm afraid he'll tell me to take it down a notch.

Usually the only time I can tell a difference is if it's a strong bourbon, maybe over 105 proof or so. Have you had the same experience with OGD114, OWA, and ORVW 10/107? Those are really the only...

I find I like OWA, ORVW 10/107, and OGD 114 the more they open up.

I thought the last one I had was phenomenal once there was about an inch left in the bottle. A recently opened bottle was a bit medicinal at first, but I poured half of it into an empty bottle for...

Welcome to the board, guys! If you enjoy Bourbon's Bistro, check out Baxter Station. They might not have as big of a selection as Bourbon's Bistro (which is definitely a great place), but you can't...

If you're looking for exact percentages I would check out Gary Regan's The Book of Bourbon and The World Atlas of Whisky: More Than 350 Expressions Tasted - More Than 150 Distilleries Explored by...

I need to go pick up some more VOB. I haven't had it in awhile. I always enjoyed it, especially for $12, but remember a lot of banana (I think it was banana) which I don't find in JTS Brown BIB.

I don't have a bottle of VOB BIB at home right now to compare, but I'd split it 50/50 if I was stocking up. IMO they are both better than some bourbons that sell for twice the price.

Picked up a bottle at Liquor Barn last night. I found it surprisingly good. Nutty, minty, great mouthfeel, I put it on the same pedestal as VOB BIB as far as value goes. Had it on the rocks while...

Seriously. Remind me to never buy a bottle of Dry Fly.

I agree. I can't describe it, but "funk" sounds about right. At first I thought I was drinking out of a dirty glass, but it was just the bourbon...

Well said Oscar. I'll co-sign that. :toast:

The more I drink this stuff the more I like it. I think it may top any of the Van Winkle products I have. I need to bunker at least one more so I won't feel bad drinking the whole bottle. I'm...

I just checked out the Binny's website and it looks like they ship to Arkansas. I don't think I'd ever leave my house if I could have bourbon (legally) shipped to my door. :grin:

The 2009 Mariage is excellent. Even as a relative newbie I can tell this stuff us complex, yet well balanced. I'm digging the floral/fruity/spice thing goin on.

I picked up a bottle of this and thought it had kind of weird scent to it. I was thinking it might be the glass I was using, but got the same result with 2 different glencairns and a rocks glass. ...

No, I actually did it with a bottle myself. Definitely tasted a little "off" afterwards. Seemed like the coffee filter worked kind of like decanting a bottle of wine. I thought maybe the exposure...

Chuck,

If you were to decant a bottle of bourbon through a unbleached coffee filter to sift out some cork, is it possible for the bourbon to "over-oxidize"?

It might be blashphemus to mention a different variation of the BOTM, but I went to go pick up a black label and saw that the EW 1783 was only $1 more. Is it not that much better than the black...

In my limited experience with bourbon I have found that IMO a bottle usually changes for the better when its been opened 1-2 months.

Thanks man, and likewise if you are ever in Louisville.




Definitely not here! I'm thankful most of my relatives live out of town, because it seems like you can find some things easier when...
