Like this? :-) In my state, as long as the store has a liquor license (has to be a large enough store over "X" sq.ft), they can sell liquor. This applies to groceries or drug stores... I get OE7/101 simply because I can't get HH BiB in my state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfw Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Parker's 7th and Stagg Jr.Both have improved with some air. The Stagg Jr. is worth $45. The Parkers is decent and for a good cause. I've bunkered a few of both.Damn, I haven't opened the OFBB 2013. I gues I'll save that for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 A bit of 4R1B LE 2013 on Tuesday. Sip, swish, repeat. And a little Mellow Corn to point up the difference in flavor.Last night was Carribean heat and humidity, so I had a lovely Dark and Stormy made with non-HFCS ginger beer (from Maine Root) and Gosling's Black Seal.

Yeti Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Still riding the birthday wave with a dinner out with the in-laws. One of those fancy places where everyone serves you in a tuxedo and they have Baker's B-85-001 on the shelf. Well, now they have a little less of it.

DBM Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 People think making old-fashioneds with expensive bourbon is a waste, but I tend to disagree. The huge proof keeps things from being too cloying, which is how I feel most OFs turn out.I kept saying this to a friend who pooh-poohs the idea of drinking any quality bourbon anyway but neat then I handed him a brown-sugar OF made with ECBP and he changed his opinion right quick. 100% agree. I lean towards lower proof (86-100) when drinking neat, and the high/barrel proof stuff for classic cocktails. I don't use any liquid to dilute the bourbon in my OF (no soda, water), so the flavor of the bourbon still shines. And made an ECBP old fashioned tonight to stay on topic.

bingstein Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 When I first got Stagg Jr about a month ago I diluted about 250 ml of it to 101 proof and put it in a separate bottle in an attempt to replicate a slightly younger ER101. After letting it sit a few weeks, I opened it tonight and am having a pour. I am surprised to say it is pretty darn good. I thought the Stagg Jr didn't take splashes of water particularly well when I first tried it but it is fairly complex after sitting awhile. Is it as good as ER101? No, at least not the NOLA I've tried. But for folks who've been disappointed with their Stagg Jr it is a worthwhile mixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWBourbonDrinker Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 SA OS Rye 6 Year to start. Nice banana on the nose to go with the rye spice. Having a pull of Larceny right now. Not my favorite but not bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
