DBM Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 50/50 blend of Ritt and WSRBMHStagg Jr.The Stagg Jr. impresses me for a $50, 9-10 year barrel proof bourbon. It's a simple flavor but very well made and aged for my palate. It doesn't have the cereal grain that I dislike in labels like CEHT, and the heat is quite pleasant.

GaryT Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 A very small pour of PVW20, shared with some friends who aren't really "into bourbon". One commented that it reminded him of every other whiskey he had ever tried. Hence the very small pours To each their own, eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Santana Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 A friend brought a bottle of Four Roses Mariage last night, the first time I've ever had it. Thought it was delicious. Very impressed. Was this something that was put out more than one year? Multiple different blending of mashbills, or just the one? His bottle said 2008 on it.

tanstaafl2 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Want a nice holiday treat? Have that BT Bourbon Creme with root beer. 2 parts Bourbon creme, 1 part root beer. Wow, my oh my, holy moly, let the dogs out, it’s good!To make it even more interesting try it with a little Sprecher's "hard" root beer! Don't have any BT bourbon creme open at the moment but it works with Whisper Creek as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiemb Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) A friend brought a bottle of Four Roses Mariage last night, the first time I've ever had it. Thought it was delicious. Very impressed. Was this something that was put out more than one year? Multiple different blending of mashbills, or just the one? His bottle said 2008 on it.They released the Mariage only in 08 and 09 then they changed it to the current Limited Edition Small Batch. They're two different recipes. The 08 is 13 year old OBSV and 10 year old OESK. 09 Mariage is 10 and 19 year old OBSK and 10 year OESO. Two excellent bottles.

GaryT Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Great Christmas Eve - had some peace and quiet for a couple hours (RARE thing around the holidays ) so decided to indulge in a blind PVW tasting of the 15, 20, and 23. Didn't dilute, so the proof made the 15 easier to spot, but we both identified the 20 and 23 as well. We were surprised to find the one we enjoyed the most was the 15 (as I expected it would be the 20). Wishing they had more proof on the 20, not to second guess the VW folks at (just for my palate at least!) After a break, enjoyed some OF from '85 which was pretty damn tasty! One of the best Christmas Eve's I can remember! :toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
