SB Blend Question?

[dridge11]

Did the 1:1 blend tonight in a blind tasting, it was side by side with new Pappy 15 and it was tough to decide which we preferred. The SB blend is legit, I will be making more for sure. Will post a detailed tasting report tomorrow.

And stir it up with a home depot paint stick :cool:

A charred paint stick please.:grin:

Take the ratios Wade mentioned and use volumes more to your liking, my guess is it will be a worthy batch.

I've been doing the SB blend since coming to Oregon (end of 2006). Don't know if Centennial was already off the market yet, but fer sure you couldn't get it here (as for the 12, I'm pretty sure I bought the last ones sold in the state, five dusty bottles marked "OLCC discontinued" I found in Springfield).

I started combining the 12 and OWA to create what I call "Almost Centennial". Because I was dong this before joining SB.com (early 2008) I continue to use my own term.

BTW, I know of at least one person who combines PVW 15 and 20, a combination I plan to try the next time I have open a bottle of each.

The "SB Blend" also vaguely refers to trying to find a close match to Weller Centennial. Weller Centennial was a 10 year, 100 proof bourbon and by blending Weller 12 with OWA at a 1:1 ratio you get a bourbon that is almost 9 years and 98.5 proof. Not quite the same but fairly close.

Has anyone tried to blend ORWV 10/107 with a Weller 12? That blend could produce a 100 proofer that would "legally" be a 10 year bourbon. Even closer to an "almost Centennial"

I will have to wait until November/December for a chance to get another bottle of the ORVW, I will report back when I do.

Or ORVW 10/107 & lot B, 11 years old average (I understand 10 is the youngest) and 98.5 proof. Sort of a modern BT almost VVOF? Or lot B and PVW 15?
