GaryT Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 A healthy pour of 2007 OFB'day. Still thankful for that store clerks mistake! Whenever they say "I looked in the back, and I only found this one in the Manager's office - but it isn't this years; it is a few years old. Would you want this one?", I have to focus on not looking as excited as I am. (sigh) "Well, if that's all you got, I guess that will do" :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobP_n_TN Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Old Forester BIB with a Fall 1979 tax stamp. I made it last as long as I could but one more pour after this and I'll need some empty bottle group support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillman Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Today I am sipping in my Maker's Mark snifter, a vatting of four Four Roses bourbons. One is the 2012 LE (not great IMO), one is a rich SB, one is Yellow Label and the last Small Batch.It is about 1:3:1:1, respectively, more or less.In doing this, I wanted to efface the rough finish of the LE; reduce a slight excess wood note in the SB; use the floral notes of the Yellow Label; and get full effect from the buttery, banana/papaya-like flavors of the Small Batch but in a deeper, softer interpretation.And I did achieve all this plus get a soft, flowing finish. So I would rate this as a very good vatting, or mingling, really.I made another one of the same constituents but in different proportions but can't get it as good.

Gillman Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Just to illustrate the difference between batches 1 and 2:Batch one had that flowery, slightly sweet, rosewater-like signature that is FR at its best. Plus as I said it is silky, flowing on the palate, characterized by equipoise one might say.Batch 2 is more woody, not as flowery and sweet, one-dimensional. I am not sure how to work on it further, perhaps some more Yellow Label can reduce the wood and increase the flowery notes. A little SB might deepen the sweetness, the rosewater. I'll get there.Gary Edited October 20, 2012 by Gillman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tico Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Ribs have been sitting on the Weber at 250 for over three hours now. Decided to pour myself some 4R 09 Mariage while I wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hectic1 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Started the night with some WTRR 10/101 and now I've moved onto some Willett 10yr Toddy's...I think I'll keep the 10yr thing going with some ER 10/101 next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hectic1 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Decided to go with some 1997 Louisville OWA instead of the ER101...it's amazing how thick and syrupy this stuff is...crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauiSon Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Finished off my Kirkland small batch. It's a good quality pour, but something in Beam hooch always puts me off. I don't know if it's the wood or the yeast, there's a green quality I just don't find pleasant. I think I'll send my back-up bottle to PI.

z327 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Met Master Distiller Truman Cox tonight at Specs in Dallas. Great guy very informative. Enjoyed a Taste of small batch and single barrel John Bowman. Got two bottles autographed and after showing him a picture of my home bar he gave me a barrel head and autographed that as well. Real enthusiast and a great whiskey. The single barrel is older and sweater than the younger small batch. Will be looking forward to something older than ten years in the future.
