OscarV Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Four Roses Single Barrel Strength selected by Binny's.This is the OESO, 20% rye mashbill with the rich fruity yeast.The same one that was used for the "Jim Rutledge 40th Anniversary"The 40th bottles were low proof, anywhere from 102 to 108 and 13 1/2 years old.This Binny's OESO is 116.6 proof and 10 1/2 years old.First sip was a little hot, I cut it down to 102, which is about 0.15 water to 1 whiskey and yeah,... there it is, the classic fruit sweetness and rye spice at the same time, man-oh-man that Rutledge is an artist.

Skunk Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 A '98 WTKS Pewter Top and a circa '85 Turkey decanter of 8yr 101. The 8yr bourbon is twice as dark as the KS, which seems odd considering the proof is the same. I also like the taste of the decanter better, but the finish of the KS sparkles more and lasts longer.I was thinking the two combined might be something like the American Spirit I had recently, but after vatting them I'm pretty sure this is better. Unfortunately the bottle I had is gone so I'll never know. Somebody needs to come over and try this. Josh, are you in town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACDetroit Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 The over/under for someone jumping the gun on starting the Winter threads was 2 days. Em came in with the under at just short of 18 hours early.For his effort, he wins a 2010 calendar from Despair, Inc.He will also get a years supply of the 2009 OFBB! :grin: Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmeox Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I cracked open a mid 80's handle of Old Taylor that ACDetroit snagged for me over the summer. This is my first exposure to the classic OT profile with the butterscotch nose and the oily mouth feel. Man, this is good juice. I'm glad I've got it in the family sized bottle.

fishnbowljoe Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Had a long day at work today. After work, my wife, son, daughter in-law, grand daughter, and I had a nice family dinner and exchanged gifts. One of my gifts was a 1999 EWSB gift set. :grin: Had a pour of that, then ended the day with a pour of one of my very favorite bourbons. ER 101. Cheers and Merry Christmas!

IronHead Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Last night I polished off the last of a bottle of Binny's Weller 12. I am almost glad it is empty so I won't be as fixated on it and I can move on to something else. Good juice!Well, the kiddo had us up a 5:30 for Santa....now back to bed.Merry Christmas, all.

tommyboy38 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Brought a bottle of mid 90's vintage Benchmark over to my brother's house last night. He said he was out of bourbon and that won't do at all on Xmas eve.Also received a bottle of VWFRR and couldn't wait to get home so now I'll have two of those open. I think I foresee some rye drinking in my future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Not much bourbon yesterday, but a lot of other good drinking including 4 different home flavoured snaps to the Christmas table. However I did at least pop open an ORVW 15 for the first time in over a year to the almond cake after dinner. I tasted very good and defiantly better than I did remember.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_elliott Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Having some of the whiskey that I got for Christmas first I had a pour of Blanton's now I'm having a pour of Bernheim wheat whiskey.

Ruby K Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 away from the bunker at the parents' house, and no bourbon to speak of here. However, my dad cracked open a Macallan 18, which was mighty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
