Finished off some Pappy 23 this evening. It really is an awesome bourbon.

Best regards, Tony

There is a 147 proof 18 year Bowman? I thought both Bowmans released around that proof were 17 years old. Both were a little hot for my taste.

Yes it was a TPS barrel that came out last October.

Interesting. It's difficult to keep track of these things.

I know of three 18 year olds: Gift Shop (138.6), TPS 1 (137.9), and TPS 5 (140)

And then two 17 year olds: Small Batch (147.5) and TPS (147.7)

And then a 19 year old: TPS (143.4)

What are the distill and bottling dates on yours savagehenry?

I have 2 different 18yr olds from TPS above 140 proof that they sold last fall:

TPS barrel 11..distilled 12/14/94 bottled 3/26/12 proof 147.7

The other bottle is a SB that they received just a few of, so not their own bottling. .distilled 12/14/94 bottled 5/11/94 proof 145.5

Those are both 17 years old. 17 years 3 months and 17 years 5 months.

Shoot, my bad. They are the direct match for the 17s you have listed

Had a 6-year-old BIB face-off last night. Heaven Hill won by a nose over Barton, but there are no losers in that competition.

[squire]

Had some Barton in my coffee while watching the snow flurries this morning.

[macdeffe]

1yo cask sample from Las Vegas Distillery around 62.5% which was the filling strength. Doesnt remind me at all of other young whiskies I have tried, but much more like a real straight bourbon. Looking forward to taste the cask again at 2yo

had a pour of blantons at a restaurant last night. didnt make me want to run out and buy a bottle, but it was a nice change of pace from my usual MM order at an italian place

Went to KY last week and have been doing the same all week. Its close for me too close to call. And you're right...no losers in that competition for sure.

Snow flurries in Jackson :bigeyes: is worthy of even more Barton after the coffee .

[SFS]

A sample of a vatting of two different A. Bowman Virginia Whiskeys. Specifics were undocumented at the time of the (somewhat inadvertent?) mixing. Mighty tasty though, and fairly high proof. Added half an ice cube, and am now getting some butterscotch candy, small amounts of baking spices, and a very long finish.

[smknjoe]

How are you halving your ice cubes? Just filling a tray half way?

...been on a Four Roses kick. I think I'll have more.

[unclebunk]

FR1B for me too this afternoon. Several racks of ribs will be done shortly and then more bourbon than I'll probably need tonight. Should be fun!

[squire]

The neighborhood kids are excited to actually see snow twice in the same year. Yeah, more Barton, but I pour it into the coffee.

[SFS]

No, I have an icemaker that makes those infernal half circles. I just throw one into a clean kitchen towel, and strike it with the handle of a heavy knife. If it doesn't divide roughly evenly, I adjust the pour to suit the ice.

[MyOldKyDram]

Enjoying some ORVW 107 tonight.

[Meruck]

What a coincidence. I am having some Old Weller 107 antique. Same whiskey.

[MyOldKyDram]

Minus a few years it basically is yup yup.
