smokinjoe Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I like them both, so I'd get whichever of the two that may be available (including a new girlfriend that is willing to go all the way:rolleyes:). An instant SB Classic post ! :toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootsOnTheGround Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Had an absolutely delicious JPS18 Batch 8 at a local restaurant tonight. Amazing to see it in the wild. Going back tomorrow to kill the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 After having spent the better part of two days at a swim meet (being quite jealous that the kids actually do get to be in the pool), EWSB is quite delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebwood Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Willet 2 year old Rye. Not sure I would have sold this yet if I were them. Yesterday, perhaps smitten with a brand new purchase, I described it as "almost refined for its age." I don't share the same sentiment tonight. I poured it right after devouring a prime ribeye, so perhaps it was asking a bit much to follow that on my palate. I'll return to the bottle in week or two. Hopefully, I find it more enjoyable on a another occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thought I'd ease in to the evening with a Balvenie Double Wood, but found it lacking. So, figuring it needed some muscle, added a healthy topping of ECBP. Probably finished up at 70:30 BDW to ECBP, and the result was wonderful. The Balvenie was able to hang on and provide a juicy and fruity nose, and the ECBP took over from there, but didn't completely drown out the Balvenie. All in all , a nice combo to finish things up.

TunnelTiger Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 J - I do believe 3 bottles for you to carry and 3 bottles for your girlfriend would be the best way to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I poured the last of a mingle I made up; 50-50 Old Forester Signature and Wild Turkey 101.Mostly similar profiles. Similar Proof.This one starts with two solid pours that are both rye-forward Bourbons, then makes a 'sum-is-greater-than-the-parts' mingle... Very enjoyable. :yum: I need to make it up again.

IsThereADog Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Visited my folks at the lake in MN and my dad had an old bottle (1974) of Old Fitz BiB - was a great sipper while I watched the sunset in the cove! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayz Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 J - I do believe 3 bottles for you to carry and 3 bottles for your girlfriend would be the best way to enjoy.I've looked up at the Canada custom site and it said 40 oz per person for more than a week on the us, so i was thinking the Max would be 26oz x3 ... ! And our customs agents are not really friendley, ill try not to mess with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.mx Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Bury that sucker! I found one in the wild last October sometime. There were 4 on the shelf, I took the batch 8 with the $100 in my pocket and left the rest. Later heard someone came in and bought them all. Too bad that person got rye in his/hers (DOH!!). Done and done. $10/1.5oz . I don't think they knew what they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 First pour of Rhetoric, and about what I expected. Not very sweet - a subtle cinnamon note under the sour oak notes. 20 yr bourbon (with rare exceptions thus far) just aren't right in my wheelhouse. A couple drops of water really improved it though, and after making a 200 mL bottle for comparing later releases - I'm hopeful some air time will do it well.

393foureyedfox Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 trying the Old Bardstown 100 again, neat. pretty nice while in the mouth, but the finish takes a nosedive faster than any other. You could either not like this one at all as a result, or just keep drinking it until you get sh#@faced....take your pickthat said, im pretty sure this is HH stuff, and I do likes me some HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
