Halifax Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 We didn't get the chance to open the McKenzie or the WTKS. PVW 15 & 20, Ezra B, VWFRR and Saz 18 were added in as the night progressed and that was all she wrote. Hard to top those picks. All in all a very good line up. I wish that I had more of the Yellowstones in my bunker. If I were living back in the day... I could see this bourbon being a part of the usual rotation. The real surprise was the Ezra B. A very well balanced whiskey. The only disappointing bottle was the OFBB 07. Very one dimensional and thin. I don't get the hype that goes with this bottle. Then again... I've never opened any OFBB and said WOW... Time for bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmckenzie Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I know you would have liked the Mckenzie. I would have loved to have tasted that yellowstone. People say it has a lot of fruity notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
