OscarV Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I still have some of my vatting of Old Rip Van Winkle 10/107 (3X) and 2013 WLarueW (2X), neat of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Started out with a small pour of a new blend I'm working on. It's a vatting of Larceny and MM. Might have to tweak it some. I'll let it sit for a while and see what happens. After the blend, I had a pour of BT. Man oh man! :bigeyes: It sure seems like every bottle of BT I open is just a bit better than the one before. It's tasting really good tonight.:yum:Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Me too. My first pour ever of the stuff. And my second. And third. Sent from my VS980 4G using TapatalkIt's extremely underrated. My second pour of the night was OFBB '13. Really enjoying it with a bit of water tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 VSOF in the hotel both before and after dinner. Not quite up to the W12 IMO, but still a solid pour nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwt Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Stagg Jr. as I can't get my hands on the Sr. 15 y/o. Had a surprising experience here in Upstate NY at a Restaurant bar Pappy Van Winkle 15 year standing there among less distinguished bourbons and not counting a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue scotch . $12 a shot. As sometime happens with a young bartender not usually with good stuff I got at a healthy double shot. First and likely last taste of any Van Winkle product. Well worth $12.00, but not up to Stagg IMO. The Stagg kick is like the roar of a Harley Davidson engine: Bold, distinctive, unique, unabashedly in your face and a throw down for everyone else. Of course, there remain the more aged Pappys which I will never taste. At this point, Stagg sets the bar for me.

black mamba Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Had some just bought RHF a couple nights ago, it was gone from the shelves for about 6 months before. Tonight I started with a small RHF, then switched to my blend of OFS100, Stagg Jr. and 4RYL. After a couple of those I'm now enjoying a 2012 TH Handy with a splash of Jefferson's 10 yo rye to cool it down . . . really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Though Stagg is what got me started in this hobby a little more than a year ago, Makers Mark was my first and only bourbon for a long period of time. I decided to revisit it via the sample size tonight for the first time since I started branching out. I now recognize the wheated nose on it and enjoy that nose. I actually like it more than I thought I would, though it certainly pales in comparison to the Weller offerings I now prefer. I agree with others who have said that it would be a lot better with more age and proof. I'm happy to have tried it, but don't need to buy a bottle just yet. I have many more bottom and mid shelf offerings to work my way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Followed up the Makers with a 60:40 SB blend. SB blend wins by a very solid margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Followed up the Makers with a 60:40 SB blend. SB blend wins by a very solid margin.Maybe give M46 a shot. Its a totally different pour than the standard. The staves give it a much more aged profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 VOB BIB 6 yr (I guess you have to be specific, now) over a couple of cubes. There is something comforting to me in the sounds of ice cubes kinkling together in a glass of whiskey, when I reflect and decompress with it after a productive day.

Grain Belt Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 EWBIB over a few cubes. I like it. A lot. I am terrible at nuances and proper terminology but to me, this product tastes like bourbon should taste. I have a few BTAC's, Van Winkle's, and PHC's stashed and I truly like them, but I have to tell you that my heart does not belong to those top shelfers. Those high enders taste incredible but, they are not 5 times better than Evan White. Not even close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
