jeffrey r Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Had my first pour of Larceny from a freshly opened bottle, followed up by a pour of SB blend that's been blended for a few weeks. Gut reaction is that the Larceny was less flavorful and a bit harsher going down, but had a nice caramely finish. The SB blend was more flavorful all the way through and delicious, but had less of that caramely finish. Both nice options, but I'll see how the Larceny opens up with airtime.

savagehenry Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Doing some dive bar hopping. Started with WT 101 at the 1st bar, then an Angel's Envy at the 2nd. Next bar ordered a Maker's 46, got a MM. No surprise. When I asked what kind of bourbon they had, she said "Gentleman Jack, Jameson, Tullamore, Dewar's .....,"Cool bar other than that.

Parkersback Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Old Grand Dad BIBI have a decent sized stash of ND OGD BIB which I really love, but I recently picked up a liter of the current stuff (encouraged by Smokinjoe singing the praises of 114 and Josh's Sipology review) and was I reminded of how good it is. It reminds me a bit of RittBIB: just really solid whiskey, pretty sweet, but it's kept in check by the spice. At about $20 flat for a liter, you can't really do much better than that.

WAINWRIGHT Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 2-2-1 vatting of OWA,V17 and WLW'11,pretty incredible stuff for my second attempt at this sort of thing.I felt the ratio was so spot on I wouldn't change a thing,everything seems to compliment one another as far as proof,age and vibrancy.

c2walker Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Tarheel came over last night and we had small pours of: FR 17 Barrel 18 FR 09 Mariage TPS Bowman 17 TPS Bowman 19 PVW 15 PVW 20 2010 WLW 2011 THH VWFRR 2012 PHC EHT Tornado ND OGD 86 ND OGD 100 ER 101 LB and the new RRSB Good stuff, but it was the only Turkey of the night and I haven't drank much WT in the past year so it's hard for me to say in which way it is similar or differs from their other offerings. I'm going to buy 50ml bottles of Rare Breed and 101 for comparison and revisit this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Lamplighter Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 After a day of festivities celebrating my daughter's graduation from the University of Memphis, it's nothing but the best from my simple, humble bunker this evening:PVW 20Seems like just a couple of years ago that mom & me were taking pictures of our little girl standing at the front porch, lunchbox in hand, heading off to her first day of kindergarten...just a short time ago. Advice that was once given to me: Guys (and gals), time goes by so very quickly, enjoy the little ones all you can - for before you can blink twice, they are grown...time slips away like smoke from chimney.
