Gillman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 8 parts Weller 107, 1 part each Kentucky Tavern and Bulleit/Four Roses 120th, dash water, then dash Buffalo Trace. Swirl hard to blend.The taste is sweetish/honeyed with a light wheaty edge yet with a "bottom" that the wheaters don't have on their own. An excellent 4-grain.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcheer Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I have been enjoying ofbb 08 this week. Glad I don't have a ofbb 09 from the reports on this one. Think I will open the 07 next. What year did the ofbb start? timThe first year I remember is 2002. It was 13-years old. It is the best whiskey I have ever tasted. I stocked up.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Allright, I gotta ask: how do folks here know what a a "plastic baby diaper" tastes like?:frown:Don't ask. People around here are into some crazy stuff. I heard some weird sounds coming through the vents at the Gen. Nelson.:skep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichPryde Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Don't ask. People around here are into some crazy stuff. I heard some weird sounds coming through the vents at the Gen. Nelson.:skep:Glad I wasn't there. I have some habits that would make Emerald blush----errr, no. No, that isn't mine, and in fact I don't think I've seen anything quite like it before, ever...

Gillman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just some additional commentary on the 4-grain I mentioned. Of the three ounces I made, I divided it in two. To the second part I added two drops or so of orange bitters, Stirrings in this case. (Thanks again Wade for pointing this out to me in that store near Jim Butler's 3 years ago).This lent a faint orange note and some extra smoothness to the vatting. What really made it work I think were the two rye-recipe bourbons added. As I mentioned they provide a bottom or base that grounds the drink so to speak. Of course, wheaters can gain their own complexity, but I find generally this is through prolonged aging (for today's products).A bourbon I liked a lot in Bardstown on this trip was Forester Signature. It has a full body with a flowery note (different than Four Roses') and is really excellent especially considering the price.I think I have to add it to the Buffalo Trace at the Getz bar as the best bourbon of the trip for me.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
