fishnbowljoe Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ERSB 10/90, Julio's Angel's Share bottling. Weller Centennial Premier Group bottling. Weller SR, Everett's bottling. Decided to try some of my store single barrel bottlings tonight. It was a Monday for sure. A really bad Monday. Hopefully some good bourbon will soothe the soul.

Luna56 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Fresh bottle of ERSB here, too, Joe.This bottle has none of the mustiness of the last few bottles I've had (I actually like that). The color is a little darker and the flavors are deep and rich. It reminds me a lot of the ER101 I've had, at a lesser proof. Why, oh why don't they make the 101 any more??!!Here's to a better Monday. Hell, it's Tuesday already. Problem solved!Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 I started with a W L Weller Centennial, The Premier Group of Buffalo, NY bottling, neat, to knock the chill off.It got colder this afternoon than this morning.Anyway, it worked.I decided to notch it up to another level, so I am having a William Larue Weller BTAC 2006, neat.

JamesW Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Weller SR, VSOF 12, Julio's Weller Centennial 13 yr, and now Pappy 20. The Centennial was spectacular tonight and the VSOF was also particularly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Four Roses Single Barrel, neat, um, yes it is the infamous Curtis/Hightower bottle. (y'all tired of hearing about it yet?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightBoston Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Four Roses Single Barrel, neat, um, yes it is the infamous Curtis/Hightower bottle. (y'all tired of hearing about it yet?) Not tired at all... a tasty bottle. It's the logging in every afternoon to check new posts and day after day seeing you as the first one enjoying a pour (while I'm still at work) that I'm tired of!

I second that one, my friends! Having my second JTS Brown BIB -- not bad, honestly. I was trying to finish this one up to make room for something better, but it's definitely growing on me.

Pieface Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Cracked into my Baker's last night...I'm confused. Is this product overly filtered or something? It was very smooth, entirely drinkable and very approachable...but for the proof there didn't seem to be an awful lot going on. Maybe I was just expecting a bit more punch flavour-wise?? Taking the price into account, unless something happens with some more air-time, this has gone straight to the do-not restock list. I can pick up MM at half the price for a similar experience.

DeanSheen Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sorry you had to find out after buying an entire bottle Pie, and in Perth no less.Out of the small batch I like Bookers.Err, wait, did I just sympathize with an Aussie? That's against Concord code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieface Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'll try not pouring WT8 prior to it tonight and see if that helps. I'm going to get through the Bakers fine it isn't bad just light. I have Bookers in the cupboard so I will have a crack at that in the near future. I was born in NZ so maybe you can break the code for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Went to bowling tonight. Sat out because of a bad hip. Had JB white and coke while watching my team mates kick ass.:woohoo: Took some samples with me for a couple of my team mates and another friend to try. Lot B, Pappy 15, and Pappy 20, along with some Weller SR. A great night was had by all. I am winning over some bourbon converts. :grin: It was a great time for an informal tasting of sorts, in a very unlikely venue. Lot B was all the rage. JoePS. As a side note, for some strange reason, the bowling alley manager (the owners son) by chance asked me what bourbon I'd like to see stocked in the bar. "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus." All things considered, I told him maybe BT or Weller SR. This place is a younger hang out where most people wouldn't know top, from middle, from bottom shelf bourbons anyway. Goes to prove, you just never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funknik Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sampling some Old Fitz BIB '66 and it is butterscotch divinity. The only other whiskey I've had from this era is the Old Crow chessman that was going around and this definitely shares it's butterscotch essence. It is also reminiscent of the current Lot 'B'.
