Gillman Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 One of my multi-bourbon blends (about 15), trying to get the "perfect" palate again. It's a good even-flavored drink but it could be better. I'll keep trying. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atfree Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Some 2011 ER17. This stuff goes down easily. I would call it an everyday pour if the price wasn't so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillman Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Some circa-1990 Forester Bonded. So good. I wonder if B-F did the preliminary toasting of barrels it does now for JD and I'd think its bourbon brands too. The 1990 seemed less sweet than today's (which I like too), more restrained in taste maybe, but elegant. I got this in a small San Francisco liquor store last year, and have to husband it, these dimpled bottles are harder and harder to find today.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soonami Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Gary, is your bottle DSP-354? I recently found some OF Bonded 354 from around 94, and really enjoyed it, especially after a week of being opened. Having loved older 414 bottlings, I was pleasantly surprised.I'm curious as well. I have a 354 Forester BiB from the early 90's as well, and I found it to be restrained and tasting "aged" mores so than the 4 years in the barrel--with a dark molasses or even burnt caramel flavor that I found to be very intriguing and unlikely anything else I've had. I wonder if it's slow oxidation over time in the bottle or if the bourbon always tasted this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jersey12 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Enjoyed a nice pour of Weller 12 while watching the espn documentary on Ben Johnson. This is my first bottle of the 12 year and I feel it's improved greatly after being open for a few weeks. As for the documentary, I really think they can make one on girls tee ball and I'd watch it. They're just so well made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Sipping on an old tax stamped Wild Turkey 86.8 proof. On one hand, I'm delighted with that signature, mature, rich, Turkey that I adore...even at <100 proof. But on the other hand, it just reminds me of how far this distillery has fallen from those heady times... :frown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm curious as well.

I wonder if it's slow oxidation over time in the bottle or if the bourbon always tasted this wayAt that time it's most probable it was older than 4 years as the glut period was still going. That dark molasses flavor is in the 354's and if you had a tight cap I doubt it's from oxidation.

Tucker Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Larceny. A good bit of it, and I'm vacillating; earlier today I was undecided, but now I'm pretty sure I need a handle of this. It's tasting like the wheated brother of a great batch of EC12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even John got a good shot in about them and they deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
