T Comp Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Another month has come and gone so why not...a horizontal tasting of my most recent acquisitions: Red Stag Black Cherry, Red Stag Honey Tea and Red Stag Spiced. I think I can give the edge to the Honey Tea...but before I buy another I really got to wait to see what Hansell, Cowdery and Murray score it first. Oh and Josh too.

ILLfarmboy Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 A healthy pour of Dickel 12.........I grilled/smoked some beef short ribs over an oak wood fire and am finishing them up by simmering the electric skillet with BBQ sauce and a splash of Dickel.....

JayMonster Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Did a little side by side of Knob Creek and KCSB. I don't know if it is just the higher proof, the fact that the single barrel is not chill filtered, or I just got a really good barrel. But the single barrel is so much better than the regular expression, it seems almost like a crime what they do to the regular expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosugoji64 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 ETL CnB #18, OWA CnB #54, and AAA 10yr. The ETL has opened up so well that I'm going to miss it when it's gone. As with AAA, it's rather thin, but the flavor is just so damned good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradingBoiler Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 JTS Brown BIB while 'cueing up some ribs on the deck. Very nice!Hank I've been hearing more suggestions from a couple bourbon friends and on SB about this bottling. Can you offer any tasting insights as I believe this is a HH distillate and bottling? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmpevans Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 TPS AAA 10 year private barrel while watching the NCAA final. [i polished off my last bottle of AAA 10 year last night. Lots of caramel for sure... A damn fine value poor. I will be replenishing the stocks when I am in KY for the Sampler.Ditto. I'll be looking to get more 10 year at Sampler.For whatever reason, got the urge for AAA 10yr yesterday and opened one tonight. A little thinner than I remembered, but the flavor and finish are still working for me. I too will be buying some more to bring home while at the Sampler.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clingman71 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 A small pour of makers, I've never been a big fan. This is a 375 dipped by a friend a few years ago, about half full. Better than I remember, maybe the air and age has done something. I am a fan of Maker's 46, makes me wonder about vatting the two Maker's. Anyone try this?A little SB blend for the second half of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtexaslonestar Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Started with the PVW15, put a EC18 next to it...not able to compare due to the brutish presence of the Pappy. So I poured an OWA NAS and it was nice esp. for price but the Pappy is just too expressive. Very informative night of pours!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMonster Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Eagle Rare 10. Not as bad as when I first opened it...but still rather unimpressed. Very little oak for something that sat in a barrel for 10 years. Not bad mind you, but nothing exciting either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 My "cooking supper bourbon" tonight was Redemption High Rye- Irredeemable, even in the French Toast batter.Followed up with a glass of what a real bottom-shelfer should taste like: Heaven Hill White Label BiB, 6 y/o. Man, the only thing better than that in the same price range is VOB BiB.TROOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering their price points, they're nothing less than astounding.:toast:Sippin' on a little HH White Label meself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
