Phil T Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 sorry for the hobby character of the pics as well as potential doubles but just had enough time to switch up the angles a bit, bc I had a lot of bourbons to try at our pizza&bourbon gazebo] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Cracked a '04 EWSB and had a nice three finger pour. I found it very light and enjoyable right off the bat. I also enjoyed the '03, but found the bottles I had needed a bit of airtime to really balance themselves out. Then I decided to keep it in the family and cracked a ECBP (132.4). This is my first pour of the ECPB and I found the nose to be incredibly rich. Upon my first taste, it is just heavenly goodness graciousness! The mouth feel is velvet and the finish is hot, long and very nicely balanced. Since it's been reviewed here about 1000 time, I'll just shut up and drink now, but did I mention that I really like it? :grin: My overall impression this evening is that HH is hitting on all cylinders with both of these products (and that ECBP kicks Stagg Jr. in the @$$)! :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It seems that every, single, time, that I have a Baker's at a bar, it totally rocks my world. Tonight, it did it again. Why ain't I buyin' a bottle of this on a regular basis???? Why ain't I buyin' it at all?!?! Cuz I'm stoopid, apparently. Beam at its finest, I believe. Well, I'm fixin' that long string of miscues when I get back to ATL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, however, killed 3/4 of a bottle of it over the course of a week in a hotel bar, and loved every drop. I guess count me with you and Kevin on this one.

HighInTheMtns Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 sorry for the hobby character of the pics as well as potential doubles but just had enough time to switch up the angles a bit, bc I had a lot of bourbons to try at our pizza&bourbon gazebo (european bourbon and rye association's gatebo that is)Wonderful spread. The export Turkey and the '86 EWSB in particular catch my eye. So cool to see the gazebo name span oceans. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It was a Turkey kind of night here. Started with Kentucky Spirit and finished with RRSmBSiB. Given my appreciation for WT101 and how the previous two are starting to really make an impression on me, I may be becoming a bit of a Turkey hound. Still many bourbons to taste before making grand proclamations so I'm not yet giving up my 4R cult membership card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I had some of this little beauty the other day We were in Stockholm, Sweden and our hotel bar had this as well as some Lot B and PVW20 besides the usual JB, MM and JD. It's a damn shame we can't buy this here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Started off with a generous pour of HHSS. :drink: What a finish!(yummmmm!).......Followed by a nice pour of Hancock's President's Reserve.Also nice; but not in the same broad and deep way.

Auracom Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Booker's seems to get all the love on the board lately but I've always preferred Baker's as my Beam of choice.You're absolutely right, Richard - no one talks about Baker's. I think Booker's 25th Anny release reinvigorated interest in that brand, while Baker's continues to loll along shelves. I know I personally need to revisit Baker's after having [regular] Booker's again recently and feeling a bit underwhelmed (especially for the price).

kjbeggs Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Finally opened a bottle of ETL Comm last night. Need to have a few more pours, but seems pretty consistent with ETL from a couple years ago. Wish I still had a couple of those to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCWoody Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Having some Abraham Bowman double barrel tonight. A little strong on the alcohol burn but a lot of very good wood flavor.
