whitejc1 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Finished a bottle of PVW15. Hate to put that in the recycle bin. The last pour was better than the first. I only have one left in my small bunker. Hurry up PVW allocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I understand ER was intended to compete with Wild Turkey, hence the bird, 101 proof and premium price. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but a brand it does not build. We were fortunate the brand lasted as long as it did and the whisky was not allowed to slip into lower status obscurity.

Parkersback Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 A Weller 12 goes down. The last pour was very comparable to the pour of Lot B I had at the Firefly Grill last week (a neat diner I visited while traveling in Illinois). A great value at $22 out the door which will probably always keep me from buying the Lot B, even if it was readily available. Having said that, the W12 tasted a bit thin next to the 1970's Old Forester Bonded my wife was drinking. That stuff is brown sugar + a Joe Frazier left hook.

fishnbowljoe Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 A Binny's Weller 12, WTRR 101, and a 1980's handle of Old Forester BIB are now in the recycle bin. (sigh :frown: ) Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Gone but never forgotten is a pint of Beam's Sour Mash Black Label that was 90 proof from 1979. This was exquisite bourbon and will be genuinely missed. Found in my early hunting days where I made the rookie mistake of being far from home and not carrying enough cash to cover the three others at $7.99, in a cash only store.

BMartin42 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Buck spent it's last drops. Wasn't bad at all fir a $24 bottle. Enjoyed it more as it went. Probably won't replace it anytime soon but I did enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQ Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 A bottle of Virginia Gentleman 90 proof "the Fox" gave up it's last dram. Damn shame we can't get anymore of this as it's one of my favorites. A few more in the bunker and that all she wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Comp Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Years Old Lot "B", recent vintage. In personal blind tastings against MM 46, Weller 12 and VSOF, this one stayed best in show for me. I do wonder why this particular Van Winkle is not offered at higher proof? Is there that big a difference in the quality of barrels being picked for the Van Winkle 12 versus Old Rip Van Winkle 10, that means they cannot bottle the 12 at 107?

CaptainQ Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Finished off a bottle of WTKS, 2009 version. Not a great bottle so I vatted the last pour with WT8 export and RR10/90. I have a pewter top in the bunker so I'll stick with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like a classic Turkey 8/101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Buffalo Trace went dry this evening. This could easily be an everyday kind of pour. I'll be picking up another next time I hit the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
