1969 S/W Cabin Still

[M14Shooter]

I was lucky to come across a 1969 Cabin Still decanter.I could not wait to try the treasure inside.

Color: Dark Gold /Amber Clear not cloudy

Nose:Carmel Sauce,Toffee,Sweet Pecan,Spun Sugar ,Sweet Dried Fruit with the Barrel Char and Oak elements in the background.

Taste:Great Balance and medium weight,Lot of Carmel and peanut oil in the Mid-Palate,followed by flavors of honey,hint of candied fruit and toffee.The finish was somewhat sweet and thick and went on for about 30 seconds.There was a a fair amount of oak in the finish but not too much for my palate.

Overall I like this old timer a lot.It held up the test of time and delivered the goods.

I always love tasting a bit of Bourbon from the past.

I plan on sharing this with some Bourbon friends so they can get a chance to see what an older S/W Bourbon tastes like.

Regards, Mike :grin:

Just as I remember it Mike, it's funny to think in 69 it was considered a lower shelf product.

Ah, those were the days. I had Cabin Still a few times, but don't remember much about it. My SW bourbon of choice in '69 was Rebel Yell. Then, late in the year, I was introduced to Old Fitzgerald.

Yes, those were the days.

Tim did your Rebel Yell have the six year age statement?

Tim did your Rebel Yell have the six year age statement?

Yes, I believe it did. It was also 90-proof.

Same here, I distinctly recall seeing the six year age statement but don't remember if it was on the label or a sticker on the neck.

Your tasting notes are mouth watering....sounds delicious.

The peanut note is an interesting find.

Wonder what something with similar characteristics would sell for today.
