T Comp Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Among other things, some RR 10/90. decent enough but the best descriptor I can come up with is "unremarkable." I did vat it 1:1 with some Rare Breed and I think the result was an improvement on both pours.Yep I played around with the RR 10/90 because of that unremarkable, trying different minglings with Rare Breed, 101 and even KS but...don't remember it ever doing much for me. Of all the drop downs in taste quality of the WT brands, I don't think anything is as dramatic as the RR 101 to RR 90 and from the very beginning of that change back in '05.

unclebunk Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Unless, something else catches my fancy, I'm finishing up with a pour from a newly purchased Buffalo Trace. This brand continues to deliver the goods.Out of the closet now? Me too! Remember the time, not long ago, when most folks here crapped on BT as pedestrian bourbon for the novice? It was almost like a gang-mugging if you had the temerity to admit you liked the stuff. Well, my last bottle was excellent and I anticipate that my new one will be too. And the price is right. More for us, Joe. Drink up!:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More for us, Joe. Drink up!:grin:Count me in as a Buffalo Trace fan. Those bottles deplete themselves quicker than the others at my house. I find it to be very consistent and well balanced. Just the right amount of vanilla, grains, sweet, and oak. Not too dry either. It's good straight, chilled, room temperature, on ice, or mixed into a cocktail. When you are done with the bottle, they make great vatting vessels as well once you take off the paper label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Fan Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I had my first Russell's Reserve last night, neat. Good, but it didn't strike me as something I would go out of my way for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black mamba Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I just returned from a liquor hunt, and a successful one at that. First two to try were 4R 80 and OGD BIB, watered to match the 80 for comparison. Both were very good for the money ($13.99 and $15.99) with a touch more flavor in the OGD, and a touch more mouth feel in the 4R. Then the light went on!For my third pour I tried a 50/50 mingling of the two without water, and my oh my . . . what a beauty!!Y'all can call this one the JW blend (my initials), as it was the SB blend that had me thinking of it in the first place. Please try it, guaranteed to please your palate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dusty Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sample of JPS 18 provided by a friend. Good enough to convince me to spring for a bottle. Nice to test drive before a purchase especially at that price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillman Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 A mingling of 12 bourbons, 1 Tennessee, and Rittenhouse rye. Some of the whiskeys are FC, BT, ETL, 4R Yellow Label, MM, JD, JDSB, OC 10. Very rounded and soft mouthfeel with good rich bourbony goodness.I am going to bring a sample to Bardstown next month for the opinion of Thad and other cognoscenti.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I myself still prefer AAA 10 to BT but thankfully we can all be satisfied...and AAA 10 it is as the first pour tonight...with a small side of BT just to make sure of the aforesaid :grin:. "aforesaid"? You have been overtiming on your lawyerin' my friend! . Tonight, I'm in the hotel bar here sipping on another crapped on, pedestrian bourbon...Maker's Mark. . And, I'm enjoying it as usual. :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyjd75 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I am getting near the bottom of a bottle of Bakers, and it has been a good one. I think Bakers is one of the more under-appreciated bourbons out there. I think it is really good. Easy to drink neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
