Quintilian Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Enjoying a pour of EWBiB ~ will probably follow it up with RR1792, BT, or OESK depending on my mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

393foureyedfox Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 went out to a group dinner of friends in celebration of all the december and january b-days among us. I got a flight of things new to me: Bulleit 10 year (though I swear I got the rye instead), Jeffersons Rye, and Rowans Creek. Im not the biggest rye fan, and wouldve picked the RC among those.

garbanzobean Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Had a couple smaller pours of a store select Blanton's. I haven't had any Blanton's in years, but this is a solid bourbon whether or not it is representative of the brand. It started very closed off (the arrival was very "smooth" ie flavorless), but opened up with time, developing many of the characteristics I really enjoyed about Parker's Heritage Promise of Hope. The apple pie is there, but there are some noticeable other red and stone fruit flavors not present in POH. The mouthfeel is a little odd. Seems a bit "dead" at first, but still coats your mouth. Not unpleasant, just not what I'm used to.I'll have to give this more time, but I suspect it was picked by the store in question for its smoothness. Despite that, it develops some really nice flavors if given enough time to open up. Depending on how which way the bottle goes, I may grab another in the future. Will probably pick up a Rock Hill Farms instead, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Seems no-one else is drinking this evening except me. It's been OE101, HH6BIB, and OFBIB this evening for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

393foureyedfox Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 noticed the 7/101 Ezra sitting next to the 7/107 Baker's and decided to do a taste-off. I think I prefer the OE for its sweetness and quick bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleCBreese Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 SAOS7. I am in full on consolidation mode. I need to make space on the bar cart before opening anything new, since there simply is no space left for opens. Picking bottles that are less than half full and finishing them one by one.

flahute Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Enjoying some Stagg Jr. vattings tonight. First was with CEHT SmB which always works very nicely. Second one with some Old Charter 8. Not as good, but still tasty for far less a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul W Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Last night was CEHT BP. I wish I had not read the review that said "think barrel proof BT" before I tried it because that is exactly what I ended up thinking. Good stuff but sort of lacking complexity; I think Booker's is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff but sort of lacking complexity; I think Booker's is better.I picked up two of the most recent release (3rd?) due to the phenomenal reviews. I've been pretty underwhelmed so far. I'm gonna give it another shot tonight, hoping it was just my sinuses holding it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhalter Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Went to a friends house for the GB/Dal game. He bought "bourbon" just because I was coming over. Red stagg cherry and coke zero. It was so sweet I had a hard time getting it down. I said thank you and had a second. If you drown it in enough soda, you can make it through.

If you drown it in enough soda, you can make it through.When visiting friends for any kind of event I always take a bottle with me. If that hurts their feelings well I'm sorry but I'm going to waste an evening drinking swill.If it's bothered any of them they've never mentioned it. They all drink JD or vodka anyway.Meant to add enjoying some OGDBIB while watching the bucks & ducks.

jonhalter Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Had one in the car. He bought it specifically for me. I couldnt just dismiss that. Not only is he a friend, but my wife's boss. I felt I had to suck it up and deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a multitude of reasons you could have used to go out to your car, dump the Red Stagg, and pour something you like. No one would have known.

Paddy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 some friends, I keep a HH6BIB at their house for when there are get togethers over there. Others, I will gladly take a HH6BIB over there for a night of cards or whatever, and leave it there. $11 well spent, even if I only have a few shots of it myself.
