spun_cookie Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Four Roses Single Barrel, the TC/OVH bottle, neat.Ok ya'll are probably thinking, he sure is at it early. Well yeah I guess I am but I am off work (injury) and don't go back until Jan 12. I am only having one,... um, at a time. Not a bit I was sampling the Old Crows I got in from the other, other set of chess peices I got... Decanted the 11, tasted and put them into wine bottles.. Hope your injury is not a bad or back injury... and keep on the doctors magic juice... you will be right as rain soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thomas H Handy BTAC '08, neat.I like it a lot but I keep wondering what another 18 months would do to it.Not super high proof like Stagg but then again not that low compared to Wild Turkey and Four Roses.However it is at the favorite age of the "old timers". 6 to 8 years is what I have understood.No point to this, just rambling.

polyamnesia Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 well, the Ridgemont Reserve has been on sale ALL month...$4 off! so sipping that now...but i admit, something about second-time-around: it's not as magickal as it was last year....nor was that second bottle of OGD114....nor was that second bottle of WTRB......or did my tongue's standards simply rise a bit after Stagg...and that Handy Saz? this RReserve is very similar to WT101...except for the proof....:skep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I've gone to one of my "blue moon" bottles. Bonded OGD, Distilled 1975-Bottled 1982. OMG!! Every time I hit this one, I go in with the expectation that it CAN NOT be as good as I remember. It ALWAYS is. I turned 21 in 1983. Why didn't I buy this by the case...truckload...railcar...,then?!?!?! Hindsight is 20/20, I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmeox Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I picked up some Lot B and Weller Antique for my neighbor and he invited me in to give the Lot B a whirl. I really like this years bottling. Even two rookie bourbon drinkers who were over at his place picked out the chocolate cherry on the nose.He also has two older 750's of Echo Springs on his shelf. The bottles are octagonal in shape and have tax strips and UPC symbols. There were no outward signs of a date on the bottle anywhere. Can someone place a date on these with the bottle shape? It wasn't like drinking Lot B but it was not offensive by any stretch, especially for a whiskey labeled as 4 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't like drinking Lot B but it was not offensive by any stretch, especially for a whiskey labeled as 4 years old.Within the past year, I found a hand full (five) bottles of Echo Spring on a "we don't want this in our store" shelf and for a total of $20 they left the store. Not a great pour but not offensive and drinkable.One is octagonal and had a tax strip and a UPC code, one is octagonal, has a UPC code but no tax strip and three are round with UPC code and no tax strip.I too would be interested in further info.
