qman22 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Out of town and passed on a Bourye at $70. Really wanted it but would have cost me too much to get it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theglobalguy Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The "standard" is called Baby Blue I believe. I have passed on this stuff many times for no other reason than the fact that it's basically $60 moonshine. I've heard it's great, but I just can't pull the trigger. Someone can send me a sample and prove me wrong though. No, i've had True Blue Cask, True Blue and Baby Blue. Now i cannot remember what the difference is other than proof (TB Cask being 120ish proof, True being 100 and Baby being 86) and don't have the Baby Blue around anymore to check the label. Winston? You around here somewhere to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAO Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Baby is much younger. TBCS is incredible. Tb100 is great too. I've got a few different CS batches bunkered. That good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I have passed on this stuff many times for no other reason than the fact that it's basically $45-$65 moonshine. I've heard it's great, but I just can't pull the trigger. Someone can send me a sample and prove me wrong though. Edit: There are 3 Balcones Blue labels. I didn't know that. Baby Blue 92 proof, True Blue 100 proof, and True Blue Cask Strength (instead of Barrel Proof)(a little pretentious isn't it? ) I'm holding out for Winston to admit that he knows where the Commonwealth of Bourbon is located. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think it's safe to say, if the label says Indiana, it's from LGI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I passed on PHC7. I know that it is for a good cause and my wife even said that it is ok to go for it but there are too many other things I prefer at that price. I also passed on CEHT SmB. My main whiskey man, who I have bought from over the past several months, but met face-to-face today for the first time (a fellow SBer) gave me a taste but I just couldn't pull the trigger. Solid taste but about $10 more than I would spend without spending more time with it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

393foureyedfox Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 You realize that when you find one it could well be from a _completely different distillery_ and be nothing like what you expect, right?seeing as how practically everything Willett is sourced right now, and pretty much any sourced rye is from indiana, i think it is safe to say its probably not gonna be my thing. If it was their own recipe, yeah, id give it a try. but just a 110 proof version of the same rye eveyrone else is sourcing too? nah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighInTheMtns Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Not talking about the rye. The bourbon. You're chasing the 6-9 year Willett now with no idea what it will taste like. ECBP round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
