OscarV Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 I'm kicking off Thanksgiving and what better way to celebrate the bountiful harvest but to open up a very bountiful George T Stagg.I choose the 2007 at 144.8prf, sipping it neat and it's loaded with hot praline. I'm going to use the calculator and cut it down to 125 and 115, maybe I'll also cut one down to 101 and do a side-by-side with it's kid brother Eagle Rare 101.Ya know it's like Christmas, I have a new toy to play with.

OscarV Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 I guess-ti-mate with a 4oz glass that has ml's and oz's marked on it.I just poured 40ml of the Stagg and added 10ml water, that brings it down to 120prf if my math is right.

SMOWK Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I knew about the calculator, I just never had a good way to apply it. If I'm going to "guess-ti-mate", I might as well skip any sort of measuring device.Let me add that I'm One Hell Of A Guess-Ti-Mator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvscfanatic Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Here of late, I've been sampling many that I've not sampled before. To be perfectly frank, many of these recent purchases were made in the spirit of "Okay, I'll buy a fifth of that stuff just to be able to say that I've tried it, and there's better bourbon to be had for less.". One, however, stands out from the pack, and with flying colors. I finally took a long overdue tour of Buffalo Trace. Not the hardhat tour. Just the regular tour. It was fun. Lovely place. I've been to Heaven Hill. Want to visit Barton's too. But I finally hit Buffalo Trace. Next day, I'm at Liquor Barn in Lexington, and the antique collection is being featured. I buy a bottle of George T. Stagg. I mean, what the hell, it's a once-a-year thing. The HAZMAT of bourbons @143 proof. But that's not the story. I also bought a bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle. Ten years old. 107 proof. Kids, this is IT. I have not tasted a single bourbon at ANY PRICE that has impressed me this much. I went back for four more bottles. At $31/fifth, this is liquid gold. Such a deal. Never should have let that other guy take the last two bottles. I should have grabbed them TOO. I AM in love. I don't even have words to describe it yet. This is the finest bourbon I've ever tasted. Hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Comp Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 A little nip of Old Charter 10 after my wife poured 3 ounces for the sweet potato casserole. This is our favorite cooking bourbon with its high corn mash bill and a few bottles in the bunker at a $12.99 price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
