jeffrey r Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well, on the last night of Fall 2013, I had pours of KCSB (Fred Noe selection), OC10, and Bowman SB. All very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfish Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Came across some Smooth Ambler Old Scout and decided to give it a try for the first time. Quite spicy--cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg--and a lumber truckload of wood. But I like wood. As an inept woodworker, I make huge piles of sawdust. Had Mrs. F smell my hand because I wasn't sure if the woodiness was in the glass or on my hands. Or maybe, Mrs. F. said, it was somewhere else. As I said, I like wood.

jeffrey r Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I may like wood a bit less than you Fly, but I'm with you on the Old Scout notes. Not one I will likely buy again. Not really worth $45-$50 to me, and I'd take many $20-$40 bottles over it without hesitation--FRSB, ETL, WTRB, EC12, etc. Let alone ECBP and Stagg Jr. around that price.

jeffrey r Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I paid $29.10 and feel it was worth it.I may have been mistaken. I was talking about the 10 Year. The 7 Year OS is closer to $30, and I do not have a bottle of that. The 10 year has a very unique flavor, and that is the one I would not be quick to repurchase around $45.

JPBoston Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Been enjoying my first bottle of EW White Label over the last week.It's pretty good, though not really the revelation I was hoping for. While sipping on it, I was reminded of something Squire said awhile ago... they seem to use the larger barrel selection to round off the edges on EWB, whereas the White label's young age is more noticeable.I'm hoping 1783 will offer a middle ground, or vatting all 3 together may yield some good results. Waiting to finish my first bottles of each before I start fooling around with vatting tests though.Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Started with an ECBP/EC12 blend. Took it 115 proof. Followed up with FR SmB which, while tasty, is a lot lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 OF Birthday '13. The nose is as advertised, but I think the taste and nice lingering finish don't disappoint either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar Dan Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Enjoying a nice weekend getaway with my wife on our 29th anniversary. After a great dinner, we stopped by a quiet bar for after dinner drinks. Maker's Mark was my best option. The downside to my bourbon obsession is my inevitable realization that I have far better bourbons at home. It is a very rare bar that proves otherwise.

Memphis Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Sipping WT Forgiven. The less water added, the more it keeps it's complexity. Took me a few glasses to figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very rare bar that proves otherwise.i agree. Most places, I just get a coke or tea, because the selection offers nothing that I would enjoy more than coke/tea. I couldnt believe the hideous selections in every TN place we went last week. Everyone had Jack and Jim. You know, I never once even saw any Dickel while dining in TN, and that's where i'd expect it most. I make it a point not to order anything in a restaurant that I have at home, but Id have gladly ordered a D12 had it been available.back on topic, I am once again having KCSB and Dickel 9/103. Truly enjoy the KCSB, but LOVE the Dickel 9. Edited December 22, 2013 by 393foureyedfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 My son, Gary finally arrived 'home' for the Holidays, and we celebrated by cracking open my last Thos. H. Handy Sazerac St. Rye BP (from 2010, I think). After it had a bit of air it really shone; a fine pour worthy of the occasion. Great whiskey, Family and the 'reason for the season'. Can't beat it!

GaryT Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 To add on to my old man's post, we moved from the THH to some JPS18, and then VSOF (with a couple sips of random things in between). I know, we should have done those in reverse order probably - but didn't (and didn't mind one bit!) Discovered that JPS18 pairs wonderfully with venison too! :yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Santana Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Had a couple folks over for a tasting yesterday. One brought a Cody Road rye and we started out with that - never had it before, wasn't expecting much, but it wasn't bad. Then a Bourye to transition from the rye to bourbon, on to a CEHT small batch. Makers 46 to transition to wheaters, every time I have this stuff I like it more, definitely a step up from the regular MM. Started going older from there - Lot B, then finished up with PVW15. A success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z327 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Started last night with Brimstone, Bowman Millennium, AE rye, Vintage Rye (only real disappointment), HHSS, and then for one special guest a pour of PW15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Last night was basically all JW Dant which the more I drink has a strange metallic feel. The first pours seemed more caramel and minty but now the mint is overpowering. My first bottle since it is BOM but most likely my last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
