smknjoe Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yeah, but I thought they were the same OBSV 17 yr. They have different releases of that I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighInTheMtns Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Those two are different releases. Note the bottling date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil T Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 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 This just proves you are the Master Gary. You took 2 different bottles that you didn't like, and made one that's drinkable and enjoyable.

icehocey77 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 EC12. Trying to clear some shelf space, will not be purchasing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootlegger1929 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 RHF, then FR OBSK, not sure of what's after that yet. Maybe W12 or MM or ER17.. I need more to choose from. On a side note does anyone get pretty heavy tea-like notes from RHF?? Cause I have been big time lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Can't say I find tea in RHF but there's a lotsa stuff in there, it's a very complex Bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT0404 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 As a long time craft beer drinker, I'm rather new to bourbon. Recently I've taken quite a liking to having a pour of bourbon over a couple cubes of ice.

MATT0404 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks, Barclay! The Four Roses really is a nice, easy drinker. I'll be sure to take a photo of the Prichard's Double Chocolate sometime when I pour a glass (though the bottle is a little less full ). Here's a shot of the Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve from a few weeks ago: Knob Creek by mkrepp, on Flickr I really need to invest in a decent set of glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelturtle1 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Having a small pour of WT 8 yr and WT old no 8, I can not believe the difference between the 2. The 8 yr is delicious, the old no 8 is a decent pour but not nearly as good as the 8 yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosugoji64 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Some Larceny with a splash of Vintage 17. The 17 adds a little age that makes for a pretty darned good pour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Fan Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 An Elmer T Lee last night before dinner, this bourbon is moving up the charts in my book. I will have to replace it soon as this bottle will soon meet the recycling bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
