BigRich Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Four Roses Small Batch 2011 Limited Edition. Thank you Mr Postman.It was sitting on the porch when I got home, glad the squrriels didn't get to it first.Ah yes, Jim Rutledge did it again. There are so many flavors mingling and coming in and out.Brown sugar coated apricots, cherries covered with cocoa powder.I am half way into the first one neat. If I had to say anything negative I'd say a bit to hot but I think some time time will calm it down.It is 110.2 proof and I will do some cutting to see what other hidden treasures I can find.Sounds great! I'm still waiting for it to pop up around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Having some more of the Four Roses Small Batch 2011 Limited Edition.I cut it to what I think is in the 97-101 proof area and it loses a lot.Not vibrant, but you get some maple syrup on the finish. It reminds me of a sweet and low peat scotch.Not hot also and that's a plus.I'm thinking that 4 recipes are to much.To much clutter. Hopefully next year Mr Rutledge will top it out to 3 recipes like he did the Mariage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hectic1 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Willett 18yr Paws & Claws cut to 107...amazing sweetness on entry followed by brown sugar, molasses, and dark chocolate. The finish lingers for a good 45-60 seconds leaving you wanting to chew on your tongue...amazing pick of some fantastic bourbon! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 1991 Wild Turkey Rare Breed right now. With the thought of going down to the bunker and bringing up a wheater because I have none open. I'll bet I can find an Old Weller Antique Cork 'N Bottle #49 down there. Anyone want to take me up on that bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Comp Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 OWA from '08, the last of the age stated label, and BHC slope shoulder Old Charter. Both simple but delicious bourbons that tonight are bringing me as much enjoyment as any of the finest whiskeys or wines I've had. Just one of those nights I guess.

bad_scientist Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 The wife says I can drink again, so I started with KCSB (Party Source bottling) then BTAC WLW 2010, and now working on an old fashioned with High West Rendezvous. Probably made incorrectly... I'm eying the Parker's Heritage 2010, but that will entail another WLW pour I can only take the PH after another wheater, for some reason. If I don't, it tastes only like rubbing alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
