drunk Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yesterday was our office holiday party, and on the bar's list of free drinks was "Evan Williams 10 year". Worded a little funny, but they must mean the single barrel. Wrong. He grabbed a bottle of EWB and gave me maybe a one once pour. Thanks pal. Made up for it at home with a FR OESO from Binny's.

smokinjoe Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Still trying to get the proportions right, but I think I'm on to something: A vatting of OGD 114 and Willet 4 yr 110 pr Rye (LDI). The "burnt corner of the brownie pan" notes of the 114 meld wonderfully with the mintiness of the LDI Rye. Rich chocolate up front, with the cooling mint (refreshing really), finishing up. Gorgeous combo to my tastes. 1:1 doesn't work (too much mint). 3:1 OGD to Rye is somewhat too much on the bourbon side. The sweet spot is somewhere in between, but I'm figuring more to the 114 side. I look forward to finding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAINWRIGHT Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Little wheated vertical of WLW '10-12,the '10 is definitely the stand out of the group.Bolder,deeper and more elegant than both by a long shot. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about trying my own proportions of these to this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Set the Grand Dad aside for round two. That new bottle of Barton was just sitting there and I decided I'd better check it to make sure it hadn't gone bad or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Lamplighter Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Last pour of a Ritt BIB; multiple pours of a private barrel BT, 8.5yo, that just keeps getting better as time drifts by...the nose carries a faint memory of a long gone Stagg of the past.
