spun_cookie Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Some WT101 from SWAs. Tonight's was better than normal. The 50 mls of WT101 just always seem harsh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I had OGD 114 before dinner and WT 101 from 1986 and early 90-is after yesterday. The 90-is 1/3 litre bottle of WT 101 was a real lucky bottle for sure and totally superior to the one from the 80-is. A real sweet vanilla bomb!Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLfarmboy Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Last night it was Booker's with a grilled rib-eye. Nothing yet so far tonight. I don't know what I'm in the mood for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBOmarc Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Rittenhouse Manhattan, 4 to 1 using NP sweet and 5 dashes Peychaud's. A fine cocktail. Switching back and forth between MNF and the Phils v Braves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarnv Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Finished up last evening with a 4R's LE Small Batch. A very nice pour with good spice, sweetness.... the overall spiced fruit cake flavor I get from the K yeast blends. A few drops of water really opened this one up both to the nose and palate. A nice offering from 4R's but at a pretty stiff price point..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkin ragweed!That's been a major problem around here too, though the levels of shit floating in the air have been high for a month now. It's definitley put a damper on my bourbon and beer consumption, as some days have been absolutely miserable and I've felt like hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nor02lei Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I did go to a tequila-tasting event on my work tonight with just 3 different glasses. I thought 2 was slightly to young and one (12 years in a sherry butt in hot climate) was to old. We had to vote for the best and I did vote for the youngest one (2 years) after a bit of pondering. All others voted the 12 year old, but I thought the Tequila character was spooled by the maturing all that years in the sherry butt. This said I thought it was an interesting tasting and pretty good as well.Back home I had a 90 proof Bulleit before dinner and green Chartreuse with the dessert.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOWK Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 A few Reidel's deep in OFBB 2010. Still disappointing. Going back and forth between a 90s BIB and the 2010 OFBB, the BIB is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried A LOT of FR products, and I haven't found one that I liked. The best I've tried is the Mariage 09, and I would take a bottle of OGD114 over any of it.

I'm actually quite a fan of Four Roses Single Barrel, so maybe the other bottle will suit my tastes just fine. Hope your disappointment fades with additional pours. That sometimes happens to me and then I wonder what it was that I ever disliked about the initial pour. Strange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange!I will revisit this one quite often until it's gone trying to find something to cling to. Much like I did with the 2009. The 2010, IMO, is very similar to the 2009.I still have a bottle of the 2009 in the bunker, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarnv Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Moved on to a Willets 4yo done by Toddy's.... a 120ish proofer that is actually quite good with a splash of water... sweet, fairly well balanced, hint of corn, spice and a decent finish. Not a bad barrel proof for $30.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
