Virus_Of_Life Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hittin' the Turkey tonight. Sampled some 90s 8 year, 2002 WTKS, WT 12 gold foil... And the 8 year is the best of the three.I think I need to trade all my juice off for 80/90s wt 8 year...That's a bold statement Em! And I think I got some 8 year if you're trading Gold Foil 12s?!Honestly, you should be able to find a lot of that around California, if you haven't already. I got to where I was leaving it because it was so run of the mill. I also had two bad experiences that pretty much turned me off of it though. One was a 1.75 (hex shaped) with a screw cap so it wasn't corked that was just terrible, I couldn't figure out what happened to it but it was undrinkable. Mike (Scratchline) can attest to it as IIRC he sampled it from it to confirm my taste. The other was a 750 and I think it was corked. So my experiences weren't the best with them, but I did have one good bottle and it is very tasty stuff for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmytrack Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Is BT going down hill?????:skep:Hard to say. I do know that I am enjoying some OWA 7/107 with 08 on the bottom. Can't beat it for an everyday pour.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nor02lei Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I did have 3 bourbons at Stockholm beer and whisky festival yesterday. Weller 7/90, Beam 7 and Pappy 20. The 2 first were actually the first time I tasted. The Weller did impress a lot for a cheap brand like that. Pappy was a bit better than I did remember with a fantastic nose but the finish was unfortunately a bit short and boring. Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I knocked off the last of a bottle of Pappy 15 on Wednesday night and killed off the rest of a bottle of 10 year old Beam from the seventies last night. (Good stuff, that older vintage Beam.) Fortunately, I've got five more of the former and two more of the latter in the bunker, though I think I'll work on finishing off a bottle of Lot B tonight. I'm trying to "thin out the herd" because I got ahead of myself with too many open bottles at one time. My new strategy for awhile will be to stick with one bottle for two or three days to get to know its contents well, before moving on to something else. That usually leaves me with a half bottle or less to re-visit at another time but a better understanding of what I've consumed than when I flit around from one bottle to another, as has been my habit of late.

unclebunk Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I had some Weller 12 last night and it's unbelievably sweet...almost like candy.I really enjoy the Weller 12 but I have to be in the mood for it due to its sweetness. Other friends of mine have absolutely loved or hated the stuff for this very reason, but there's a place in this world for (nearly) all types of bourbon, so drink up Tommy! :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Last night I thoroughly enjoyed a fat pour of JTS Brown BIB. I would say to anyone, if you have this available, BUY IT. It is one terrific and inexpensive pour. After poker, I sat outside to contemplate my continuing donkey play at the table with a ounce of Maker's. I like Maker's, but was stunned by how wonderful the nose was on it. Nice and sweet and floraly. I have to admit, I had never realized how good the nose was, as I'm usually drinking it quickly in a bar at the airport, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen it but will grab some for sure when I visit Kentucky next month. As for the Maker's Mark, I've always really liked it and am happy to drink it on any occasion. I took a bottle on a camping trip this summer and we all enjoyed it sitting around the campfire. Great stuff and, as you said, an exquisite nose.

theDon Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I had about 3 healthy pours of the 2009 OF Birthday Bourbon and each pour was better than the last. I think they did a bang up job this year. Very refined and full of flavor. The finish won't quit and the nose is bold and just as complex as the flavor. Get'cha some!
