Phil T Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 OC 10, purchased at LCBO in Toronto. Thin, acidic, disappointing.I added 15% (to the bottle) EWSB 2002 and now it is much better!GaryGary, I know you're the master vatter, but how did you come up with 15%?

T Comp Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Started with what I left off with last night, a local retailer's superb bottling of regular 4RSB from 2 years ago. Now an interlude with baby Saz and then...:grin:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Phil, the OC 10 was 85% full and I reached the limit of dissatisfaction, so I topped the bottle with the EWSB 2012. Actually, after a I took a sip from it, I felt it needed more EW so I added a little extra splash and then it was as perfect as I can get it I think. It wasn't random though, I felt that 15% EW was about what was right to diffuse its "extra" woodiness through the leaner OC. I never really liked that particular bottle of EWSB, it was too tannic IMO so now I've got a full bottle of a blend which is better than either IMO. Thanks for your comments about master vatting! I do have fun with it anyway. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmeox Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The neighbor and I took advantage of some early Spring like weather yesterday. We spent the day draining and dismantling his backyard ice rink and then spent the evening around his fire pit doing the same to a pewter WTKS from 2001 and a PHC wheated. It is 62 and sunny today. Not sure what's next on the bourbon agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifax Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 ...Not sure what's next on the bourbon agenda. After an evening of drinking of stellar whiskey, whatever you chose, you're going to have to go big. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWF Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Me too, some Barton in the coffee while making breakfast. The dog just sat there with his head cocked as if to say, "ya know it's still dark outside don't 'ca".I made espresso and there was no room in the cup. I'm making up for that now with a few dollops of VOB BiB. Late night this morning, and more than the coffee, the bourbon is helping to uncross my eyes...

black mamba Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I just got home from driving 6 hours in the pouring rain. The thought of some Elmer got me through the last 2 hours. The thought is now reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meruck Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Wanted something that I could post about. Parker's Heritage 1st Edition. Now thats Bourbon!!! I put it in the "Barrel proof bourbon" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black mamba Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Meruck, you've inspired me. I'll add this tremendous bottling to the "Barrel Proof Bourbon" thread as well, but I've switched to it now. Bought last July at the 4R distillery gift shop. AGAIG IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
