Old Dusty Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 First pour of ETL Commemorative. Creamier on the palate than I remember the standard. A bit more heat and spice than I recall as well. But still the backbone of the BT mashbill #2. Will need to revisit this one after some airtime, but a quality tribute to a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It's Friday, and I'm still on vacation, so I'm fully enjoying my time off. I started with a little Wild Turkey KS, and am now on to some '13 Stagg. It's a good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurant man Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 ETL Comm. nicely balanced soft bourbon. Too soft for me. Won't buy it again. I'd take a 4 roses small batch over it anyday. I'll be gifting the rest that I have to folks I consider friends. As for regular ETL? I'll grab the occasional bottle for fun and relish the barrel picks I've done with friends. Those bottles are worth their weight in gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Tot Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 That's a cheap blended whiskey, right? I think I made the same mistake a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 WLW semi-vertical. 05, 06, 12 and 13. 06 is really good and the best, but 05 and 12 are both good and held their own. Wish my 2012s hadn't all grown legs and run off, but it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I got tired of trying to find AA 10yr. Thought, you know, "preferred" is usually a word that means better, right?That's true in certain quarters, back alley's for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Poured a very generous pour of GBS selected EC-12. WOW! What a lovely dram this is. I've had it several times; but I save it for times when I can savor it for the exceptional pour that it is. This afternoon is one of those times. Enjoying it immensely!!!!!!!

dcbt Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Poured a very generous pour of GBS selected EC-12. Ok, I have to ask - what is GBS? I see that abbreviation all the time here and can't figure that one out. Don't see it on the abbreviation FAQ either. I assume this is a store of some sort?

smokinjoe Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 WTRB 112.8 to start. Classic Turkey profile, and exceptionally executed. To my tastes, good Turkey should ooze the wood and #4 char influence, but not overwhelm the bit-o-honey, caramel, and burnt sugar influences. This one does that very well, for me. Not quite as heavy on mouthfeel as I would like, but from nose to finish, this is hittin' me good. Particularly, the finish...Pure Turkey. The really nice thing for me is that the heavy char wood influence muscles up, but doesn't turn the whiskey thin and tannic. The thin and tannic hints have been my issues with the standard 101 in recent years. I'll need to grab a recent release of that to see how it looks, because based on this, and my positive experience withe the RRSmBSB, I'm thinking this distillery may be on a good track.

Old Dusty Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Great evening grilling and hanging out on the porch. The lineup was ETL Com, VWFRR, OFBB'13 and finishing up with Binny's Weller 12 single barrel for dessert. Love when it stays light until 10.
