whiskeyagonzo Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Chili is simmering and I have moved in to some HW 16 while enjoying some football. Looking forward to Luck vs Manning this evening. I love Peyton, but I hope we kick their butts. Go Ponies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar Dan Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Whistlepig 10. When I first opened this bottle, I couldn't stand the stuff. After slowly working my way over several months through half of this bottle, it is growing on me to the point where I can tolerate it. Who knows? Maybe by the time I finish it off, I might actually like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hectic1 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Started with some WTR101, then hit some Bowman 10yr TPS Rye #1, and now gonna have some Rathskeller to finish the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskyRI Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Last night I opened a bottle of 2012 THH at my monthly tasting. It was fun introducing 30+ people to the joys of tasty rye, even if it has already turned into unobtainium. The rest of the tasting was a BT distillery tasting covering BT, BSB, W12, ER10 and 1792. in a room of 35 people there was no clear favorite, although the THH had a bunch of new fans.

I continued with opening a new bottle each day. Today is a Willett Straight Rye 4 year, 120.8 proof. It really reminds me of the AE rye turned down a good bit.

Old Dusty Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 2013 Saz 18 and 2007 VWFRR... Tonight does not suckMichael, notice much change in the Saz year over year or is the tank keeping a level profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelturtle1 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 It seems less spicy this year and oddly a bit younger? But I don't really have a huge memory of many earlier Saz. Still a really delicious pour and I will be buying all I can find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smknjoe Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Michael, notice much change in the Saz year over year or is the tank keeping a level profile?We (about 20 people) did a side by side of the first release (2000?) and 2012 Saz 18 at the last Houston get together and the consensus was that they tasted the same.

squire Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 That doesn't surprise me, I haven't tasted every year's expression but did try enough of the different years to find them consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have expected differences from 02 to 06 or whenever they tanked and then a basically level profile (+/- from oxidation) thereafter.

smknjoe Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I don't have a lot of experience with Saz 18 myself, but most of the SB "old timers" seemed surprised that there was little to no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Fat pour of '09 Handy in front of the outdoor fireplace. Oh my, this is great whiskey. Of course for me, every year of THH has been great. So, I look forward to opening and loving on, the '13 iteration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i need to hide it from myself, who knows if I'll get any this year.I was thinking the same when I had a few pours of VWFRR last night. It is truly an amazing pour--the nose on it is very nice. And I really like the warmth that the finish provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
