hectic1 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Starting the evening with a little FR1B OBSF 1789b pick...this one gets better and better as it has some time open to air out...thick caramel, honey sweetness with some dark fruit makes this 122pr one so drinkable.

Borchard Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Started off with Elijah Craig 12. So good. Finishing with Jeffersons Presidential 18. This is quickly becoming one of my all-time favs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barclay Beach Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 After a long day of work, I just poured my evening's first dram. Since I have to catch up for lost time, I'm painting in broad strokes... Lots of OWA and lots of ice. Think, Kentucky Big Gulp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclebunk Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Cold and windy with snow flurries in the air. Very depressing after a bit of sunshine earlier in the day and a brief warm-up yesterday. Heading for the '08 GTS to end the doldrums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbonandbacon Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 EC18. trying to finish the bottle i have to free up some space at the bar. while i am sad to no longer see this at $45 around me, i cant say i am devastated it is no longer in production. some nice oak here, but not much else, i get a lot more depth from other bottles at this price point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 After a few nibble of a couple of things, I'm finishing up with an 04 Stagg. There is no barrel proof whiskey that can close it out like Stagg, IMO. I may like some better on any particular night, and in fact my favorite whiskey of all time, the 2012 PHC, is sublime. But, to me, there is a muscle to Stagg that is unmatched in all other barrel proofs. Some years are better than others, but they all share that brawny, deep, richness. It is the King of Barrel Proofs for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Got some good news today and opened up a FR SmB LE 2012. Very satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It is the King of Barrel Proofs for me.Completely agree. It's so massive it always puts a stamp on any evening. I haven't tasted both in close proximity, but my impression of PHC 2012 137.9 proof was that it was very Stagg-esque. That could just be heat and mouthfeel.

Cigar Dan Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Started with a pour of 2012 OFBB and followed it up with a pour of 2012 PHC 131.6. All while watching a comedy video by Aziz Ansari. Not a bad evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
