Bmac Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I should be flogged due to the number of bottles open in my bar. There are so many for two reasons:1) I wanted to see what it tasted like.2) I don't have any bourbon-drinkin' friends to come over and polish'em off -__-On with the disappointment:1) OWA NAS2) 4R SB3) KC SB4) Willett 7yr5) Old Grand Dad 80proof6) Jim Beam Black 8 yaer7) Maker's 468) Maker's Mark9) PHC Cognac Finished (5th ed)10) PVW 15 200811) WLW 201012) GTS 201013) ER 17 201114) VWFR 12yr Lot B 201115) JPS 18 Batch 2516) WT 10117) BT18) EC 12yr19) WR20) WR DO21) WR MC Maple-wood Finish22) 4R SB LE 201123) Vintage Bourbon 1724) WT RB25) EW SB Vintage 2000And that's just the bourbon.............................<runs and hides> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostBottle Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I tend to only keep a handful of bottles open at any one time, especially with rye as it tends to get worse with oxidation (though Private Preserve helps). Currently, I have open 7 bottles which will last me a good few months:Ardbeg 10Black Maple Hill 23High West CampfireHigh West RendezvousLagavulin 16Pappy Van Winkle 20Wild Turkey 101 Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trey Manthey Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Going forward, I'm going to keep it to 10 or fewer open bottles of fine bourbon/rye at a time, not including mixers. It might take a while to get there because many of these are still above half full. However, I started a new practice. Once I get to the last part of the bottle, I've been decanting the remainder into 4oz sample bottles so I don't get the urge to buy/open another one right away. I'm dying try some new stuff I've acquired (PHC27/Cognac, FR GS stuff, Campfire, V17, EC18, Taylor Barrel Proof) but there's only so much whiskey I can drink during the summer. Also, I clearly need more friends that drink whiskey.Just the bourbons/ryes, in order of preference:2010 WLWFR Mariage 20092011 PVW 152011 GTSFR1BLE 20122011 PVW 20HW BouryeHW 16PHC Wheated2011 Lot B2011 Saz18JPRS 17Weller 12EC12WT 101 Rye (don't like)KCSB (don't like)Maker's 46 (don't like)I'm always blowing through bottles of Saz Jr. and Rittenhouse, so I don't count those.

It's Buffalo Trace, Old Weller Antique, and Sazerac Rye mixed. Ratio is unknown. I haven't cracked mine open, I just want to know what the flavor profile is...

Young Blacksmith Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Re: the Old Charter Private ReserveI thought I posted some tasting notes somewhere, but I can't find them now. I'll have to do a bit of writing and sampling tonight then.From what I remember it's basically Old Charter with a bit more finish, I'll post a new thread about it in Tasting.
