ILLfarmboy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 ORVW 10yr. 107.... Rich, dense, chewy and sweet. I wish I had some dark chocolate to nibble on while drinking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTower Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This weekend I opened a bottle of Knob Creek, which I haven't had for a few years. Thoroughly enjoyed it.Then got well acquainted with WTRB, I simply love this stuff!!Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshani Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 A tasting of OF Repeal Bourbon to start, and now some OHH 100 proof BIB. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeox Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hey Joe,Where do you find OHH 100 proof BIB? I have never seen that here in Chicago. (Nor have I seen other HH BiBs such as Dowling's DeLuxe.) I remember a package store with a green color scheme; I haven't been to the Rockford area for about ten years and I don't recall its name, but it's on a northbound state highway in the direction of Love's Park.I think that some strange dude recommended it to him at KBF. :pope: IIRC, he needed one more inexpensive bottle to qualify for a free t-shirt.(incidentally, I like spending other people's money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Mike, Scott's right. I needed one more bottle to get my full discount/free t-shirt from Liquor World in Bardstown, while at the KBF. Thank's Ox. The only HH I've seen in Rockford is the HH Ultra Deluxe aged 36 months. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I may have remembered the name of the Rockford liquor store...I'm wanting to say it's called The Bottle Shop, but not entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Mike, The one I think you're talking about is House Of Bottles. Big green sign. There was another store there that closed a while back. Cork And Bottle. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunk Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm giving a Benchmark 86 proof with a bottle date of 81 a new lease on life. Unfortunately I don't think it'll be a long life because it's pretty tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmeox Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Coca Cola...the real stuff with actual sugar...That's usually only available around Passover. Where'd you find it?I'm having WT101 Rye. There's something about this expression that hits me in the throat. I've tried adding water and tonight I added 4 small cubes and it still hits me wrong. That sucks since I really like the nose on it, but it will have to be relegated to ginger ale duty from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gblick Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah, the Mexican Coke is made with real sugar and so is Dublin Dr. Pepper. We only drink sodas made with real sugar in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skunk Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have bottles from '74, '78 and '85. I've opened one of the '78's and it's very good. Not overly complex but tasty nonetheless.Tonight, I'm enjoying my Old Forester 86p from 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I consider myself very fortunate to have access to older bourbons such as Benchmark, Old Fitz and Old Forester. I love the older bourbons which I find to be richer and have more depth for the most part. I actually forgot I had the handle of Old Forester as it was sitting on the top shelf of the pantry all the way in the back. So, when I remembered it was up there...down it came.
