hectic1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'm so happy that I can actually taste again and I've followed the previous pours with a different OWA 8/107 SB and I'm following that up with a Lville OWA from 1995...I have to say that I actually might prefer our SB picks of OWA to the Lville...:skep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillP Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Finally able to drink bourbon again after having a crazy head cold for a week...I had some small pours of EH Taylor Tornado, Weller Cent Lville, and now some OWA 8/107 SB. I was getting a little worries as everything I tried for the last week tasted bitter and hot...today all is right with the world again as all three of these are hitting the spot tonight! :cool:Same here. Seven days on cold medicine is enough. I should have stuck with bourbon and skipped the medicine. Enjoying just a tad of OGD BIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosugoji64 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Glad to hear you are well again. For the reasons you mentioned, my father always said rhat when hlu jave a cold, the best thing to drink ia "Rye" (Being old school, my father referred to any Canadian whiskey as "Rye") and I have continued his tradition of always having a small bottle of either Seagrams V. O., Canadian Club or Crown Royal around for just such occasions. Normally these are just too bland for most members of SB to enjoy, but they are excellent medicine that goes down easy when you have a cold. My parents always had a 200mL of Canadian around that they used as cough syrup when we were kids! Hated it back then, but may have to give it another try now :grin: Last night, I had pours of WRDO, VOB BIB, and EHT Tornado. The EHT is amazing stuff. Every sip reveals something new. Dammit, now I may have to spring for another bottle while it's around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are terrific though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M14Shooter Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 After a long day at work.I decided I was gone to have a top shelf pour.So I opened a bottle of JPS 18.I was glad I did.This stuff was great.It is some what similar to Pappy 20 .It seems to have a little more weight in the midpalate.But It is missing the great toffee and carmel quality of the pappy.But it makes up for it with it rich flavors and great balance.Regards,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronWF Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I finished off a bottle of first-run Baker's bottled in 1992. Man did that bottle drink well. There was only the slightest hint of sour astringency at the outset, but the weeks it had to air out completely vanquished any unpleasantness. It was by far the best Beam product I've ever had. I'll have to try a neat pour at a bar one of these days, but my impression is that the current bottles don't hold a candle. Perfect age, perfect proof, I'd love to find more!
