When I started dusty hunting I picked up several old label OF 100 proofs. It's a constant open bottle in my cabinet now. The OFBB '11 I found to be very similar tasting, which was nice!

I'll...

make sure you hunt out some Fleischmann's Rye since you're up there and all....Every time I hit Milwaukee I always make sure to grab a few.

Welcome!

Is the gold BIB still produced? I've run across a few handles but they're all dusty, stating DSP-KY-31. Also, what's the difference between White and Gold? Age? Or, since BIB, all 4 years, just...

Lick it!!!!

;)

very nice Pav! I'd have opened that too asap, and been happy to do it! There is no real value beyond what you have done in many of our opinions.

Having had a bottle of Berhneim, I'd say it was interesting but not all that great. I'd also say it didn't allow me to find the wheat any better in wheated bourbons. Rye on the other hand was...

I find the EW BIB (EWW) to be a bit young and corny, but that it goes great on the rocks. Nice pour when I don't want to think too much about what I'm drinking, and just enjoy it with a smoke on the...

The 2001 I tried was flat and weak, almost watery. I actually preferred EWB over it. But, different barrels will be different so my experience may be totally different than yours.

Forgot to add, the two exported 4R products are just different bottle/label versions of 1B and yellow label. Same bourbon. If you go back, sign up for the mellow moments club, and do a "private...

Hi Patrick,

I'm not too far from you this week, but Friday I head back to Texas. You've got a good selection up here, both rye and bourbons. Much better rye selections than I have back home, but...

Nothing like the current sweet light bourbon called Eagle Rare, ER101 is a great all around drinker. You can sip it and it holds up to some good stuff or you can just zone out and drink it without...

I really enjoy the yellow label. For what it is, and where it sits in the range of bourbons available to us, it is heads and shoulders above the crowd. It can usually be had for $20, and satisfies...

Welcome to the disease! I also enjoy my pipes a few times a week, any favorite pairings?

Tom Moore BIB and any va/per are great in my mind, and I had a sublime Opus X along with EC18 last week.

There are tons of start ups using small barrels and aging for anywhere from months to a few years. If you want to differentiate yourself, use the advice given above about large barrels, proofs, and...

From what I can recall, the '97 was Beam distilled, '98 and '99 were Brown-Foreman distilled, and the rest have all been either DSP-KY-31 pre-'97, or DSP-KY-1 post '99.

I have and do enjoy the...

So I picked up a bottle of EC12 bottled in 2001, pre-fire distillate.

It's almost undrinkable. Eucalyptus/mint in such a strong dose, but then it finishes up with that vanilla caramel goodness. ...

Welcome ChainWhip,

Take a gander at the top of the New to Straightbourbon forum, a frequently used acronyms and abbreviations post. I used to have it open at all times when surfing this board,...

NOLA dusty bottle, paid a little under $11 for it. Not sure of the age, but it looks like the fat bottom bottles in Enoch's post. Sazerac bar code and govt. warning.

Smells sweet, nice, basic...

That bumps my time line for the NOLA bottle I have up quite a bit. It's shaped like your Louisville one, short, squat, with the big bottom.

No need for nasty bourbon to take up valuable bunker...

That's what I thought too. Are you able to post the bottle codes off the bottom or the date code?

Keep the Sazerac suggestions coming, I'm making a pilgrimage around the beginning of October.

Had my first Sazerac at the Napoleon House too a few years ago.

hehe, blind folks have an increased sense of touch.....:grin:

He is correct. Open her up, drink a bit, think about how crafty the old man was to stash this away for the younger folks!

If you don't his ghost will kick you in the pants when you least expect...

Welcome Rob, glad to have you here.

Trying the Single Barrel again tonight, and my opinion still stands it's just 100 proof Buffalo Trace honey barrels. Not a bad thing, but not quite to my tastes like the Sour Mash version.
