Old Lamplighter Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Today, I'm laying to rest one that I shall not miss or replace...an Old Scout pvt barrel from about this time last year I purchased at a local outfit. At $37, 7yo and 120 proof, I viewed it as an economically viable alternative to GTS. After a year of struggling with what is going on inside this bottle, I'm putting it to rest as an eggnog mixer. It was one of the few bourbons I've had that just deteriorated noticeably as the contents shrank. Even my wife, who usually ranks all bourbons the same: "too strong, too harsh, too bitter...:deadhorse:", found it "a lot worse than the 'others' ". And that was after working it down with water to about 80-90 proof. I tried it neat and at all ranges in between 80 & 120, and it just got worse as time went by.

suntour Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I drank a ton of bourbon on Saturday and I don't know if it was just the order of operations, but by the time we got to the Birthday Bourbon it was the most amazing thing we drank.Anyway, polished off a Yellow Label. Need to start getting this by the handle. I appreciate this stuff so much more now having had and coming to understand some delicious single barrels lately. Only 80 proofer I always keep a bottle of.

thiemb Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 It took some time, but by the end she took me back and reminded me why I actually liked her more than the 125th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakers has never tasted quite right to me but the others are some of my favorites and are open on the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakers has never tasted quite right to me but the others are some of my favorites and are open on the bar.That's my issue with keeping bar space clear. Those are all my favorites too, and likely to be replaced sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though we're not bowling this year, our team still gets together once a month.
