The last pour of a 116 proof Four Roses 120th has hit the glass.

I'm glad that I 'overbought' on this one.

How long did that last you? Mine has been open for a week or two, and it's still pretty stiff. I'm waiting for it to open up a bit, but it may just be that it hits a 4R profile that I like less. It's still gorgeous, but definitely flatter (so far) than the 2011 LESmB and LE1B. It reminds me more of the 2010 LESmB.

I finally poured the last of a '99 EWSB Binny's barrel. Drinking it as I post. Not a fan of this. I'll give it credit for covering a fair amount of ground with a sweet entry, mild palate and bitter/grassy finish, but it's the finish that really turns me off. Easy enough to drink at 86.6pf, but this bottle alone made me run through 2 bottles of the PHC cognac; after a few bites of this stuff, the PHC echoes the profile, but expresses it majestically.

I also kicked a CEHT1B last night. Good stuff, but I say that sarcastically. It was good stuff when it was ER1B and cost $30. For $75, mild and inoffensive is not what I'm looking for.

I was sad to see a WSR 7/90 Lville liter go away. Luckily it was one of four I found, and for $20 a pop, I'm keenly on the lookout for more!

The last of two bottles. A PVW 15 and 20.

I'm glad I've got more to tide me over.

WT101 Rye ....... with warmer weather and the patio office open this is the first of several that will bite the dust along with a trash can full of Blenheim ginger bottles.......

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is CEHT1B?

Col. E.H. Taylor Single Barrel, produced by Buffalo Trace.

In my opinion, a decent whiskey but wildly overpriced at $70+.

Handle of WT Old No. 8. RIP.

Templeton Rye hit the bin last night...I have another in the bunker but I don't think I'd be willing to pay the $38 a bottle that Binny's is asking for it now.

This is no time to start thinking about money, Bob. We're talking about your bunker!

JPSR '17 had its dying pour last night and was given its last rites with a San Lotano Oval. I really liked the '17 and with the abundance of the '18 I will have to get a replacement, but at ~$80-90 may be a while.
