Brisko Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 How did the vatting work out?Not bad, but really brings out the mint. Tastes a lot like what HH tasted like just a few years ago, long on grass and mint. The current HH style isn't nearly as minty, to my taste.The best aspect was a nice full, yet silky mouthfeel.

squire Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well there's that, I didn't think about the mint. I do plan to get a bottle of Dickel Rye and was thinking of uses other than the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Jeez, Will. Are you any relation to Keith Richards? That's a mighty pre-breakfast pour!:grin:That would be interesting but unlike Richards, I gave up cigarettes over 30 years ago.GTS is a powerful pour so you must control the size.

A 1/2 oz to liven up the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelturtle1 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Received a package yesterday from TMckenzie of Finger lakes distilling, so last night I got to sample a wheated bourbon that he has started making. I am not generally a fan of micro distilled bourbons but this was a truly delicious pour, it tasted alot like a Dusty bourbon. As he explained it to me, he is trying to bring back the techniques that promote the formation of the ester congeners that give Dusties there distinctive taste and nose. The Dusty nose is unmistakable in this pour as is the dusty taste on both entry and finish. The specs on the bourbon were 100 proof and was aged 4 years in 53 gallon barrels and the mash bill is 70 20 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Good on him. It seems other micros are striving to make something different when the best model was right there all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyOldKyDram Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Settling in with a Four Roses OESQ. Man, need to hit this one up more often. Floral and fruity, candy sweet, but still got a good amount of oak and spice on the finish. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Really underwhelmed by the Rebel Reserve I bought on impulse( and on sale) so I made a "wheat sandwich" of 2pt RR, 1pt MM and 1pt Bernheim and its actually quite drinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
