kjbeggs Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The Eagle Rare 10 bit the dust tonight. Probably like the end of just about anything, but the closer it got to empty, the more I liked it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunnelTiger Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 My routine is back to normal. Finished off a bottle of OGD114 in me coffee reading the paper (yes some of us actually still enjoy a newspaper) on the back porch. Moved on to some VOB6yr in coffee, cleaned out a portion of the garage and now trying to cool off with a nice pour of VOB over ice. Now that I've located a small stash of 6 yr labeled bottles I feel like I can enjoy it more often and at $9.99 a 750 nothing and I mean nothing can compare!

jwilson82 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 A nice pour of Angel's Envy last night. Very tasty to be sure, but I'm wanting it to be higher proof than it is (86), especially at $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished off a bottle of OGD114 in me coffee reading the paper (yes some of us actually still enjoy a newspaper) on the back porch. I'm with ya on the newspaper. Make it a part of my morning routine every day. I even get up earlier during the workweek to make time. Just finished staining the fence. Think I'll start with some EC21 after I scarf down a sammich. Then I see a raft in the pool beckoning me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 FR PS OBSO 10 yr 3 mo 106.8 proof. One of the lower proof PS's I recall. But I really am enjoying it. It's got the full floral and spice mix that for me is classic FR. The O yeast seems to have more of the floral than the spice -opposite of the K yeast for my palate. And I love them both.

gooneygoogoo Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Blind SBS of OFBB '13 and Barterhouse. Gotta say, I taste some similarity here. Edge to Barterhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BootsOnTheGround Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Blind SBS of OFBB '13 and Barterhouse. Gotta say, I taste some similarity here. Edge to Barterhouse I love everything about this. One hated, one loved. Too bad the Bourbon Elite have now decided you don't know anything about bourbon because your taste preference doesn't' align with what's *supposed* to be "better." Full disclosure: I have had both and think the nose on each is dangerously approachable yet what comes next leaves a bit to be desired. Time to do a blind SBS myself.

Paddy Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I just wrapped up an enjoyable week on the beach with the family. I can't recall ever going a week without the newspaper, phone or a computer, but this week was one in which I did a nice sanity check and managed to avoid all! I found that good food, fishing, swimming, kayaking and being off the grid suited me pretty well. The weeks lineup was a working man lineup of EC12, BT and HH 6yr BIB along with an assortment of various beers (of which a few Fat Tires seemed to stand out as the most noteworthy).

This quote is kind of a straw man isn't it? I doubt anyone on these boards calls out GGG because of his opinion. So who is "The Bourbon Elite"?

mbroo5880i Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Obviously, here at SB.com we know the truth (at least, as we define it :grin:) about inexpensive pours. I had a long weekend of issues to deal with, nothing major, but still stuff to sort through. I was once again thinking of treating myself to a nice pour of something special, but once again opted for an economy pour in an effort to clear some space in the cabinet for some new stuff. Wow, that is a long sentence! Not the most inexpensive, yet still on the low end, I opted for a nice pour of WT101. Anyway, this pour of WT101 chilled with just the right amount of small cubes is anything but disappointing. So, WLW, FRSmBLE, etc. sit in the cabinet tonight while I enjoy a pour of WT101. If I miss out on this year's allocated releases, I have another reasonable option to turn to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcbt Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 After an EC21 pour, I transitioned right into EC12 for multiple pours, all of which are tasting mighty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Boots, you seem to be a provocative guy. This quote is kind of a straw man isn't it? I doubt anyone on these boards calls out GGG because of his opinion. So who is "The Bourbon Elite"? Don't think you are giving the SB community enough credit.Indeed, I've seen plenty of folks here professing their like of both Barterhouse and Old Blowhard (and now Rhetoric). I don't see anyone taking them to task or ridiculing their tastes so I'm also wondering who this "elite" is. I'm also drinking some Barterhouse tonight. I find some things to like about it, and see the similarity to OFBB and JPS21. Ultimately for me, I'm discovering that I like extra aged bourbons less and less as I go on so this one is not a favorite for me. I certainly don't hate it and it will be nice to have around as a smooth change of pace pour, but for me it's not worth the premium going forward.

thebwood Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Booker's. Even though I absolutely love it, I often overlook Booker's at the store or even on my own bar. I really have no idea why. Every pour I'm reminded it is hands down one of my favorites. Big, bold, powerful. It *is* bourbon, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
