ryanc Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Curiosity got me and picked up a Forged Oak, local store had 3 or 4 of them. I will have to say this is an excellent bourbon. Strong vanilla/caramel. Tastes like a more balanced EC12 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hitting all the major food groups this evening required some bourbon, so GBS OBSK fit the bill - and oh how it fit it. @#$% damn, this is a fantastic whiskey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jersey12 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Sipping on some BT as we get another 6 inches of snow on the first day of spring. Really looking forward to some actual spring weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmzungu Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 A generous soul sent me a sample of ETL Comm so I am doing a blind tasting with it and the standard ETL as a pre game warmup before the Badgers kick off their NCAA tourney run for 2015!

Lepisto Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Trying JTS Brown BIB tonight for the first time. Reminds me a lot of Mellow Corn BIB. Not as sweet, but still with a young corn flavor coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Four Roses 100th Aniv. This bottle has been a low fill for some time, and I am happily enjoying the last pull from it. Maybe, 17yr OBSV never goes bad ?!!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybogey Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It was a loooooong week. Didn't even have time for a pour. But it's Friday and Spring (although it's snowing here in NY).Starting out with OGD 114. Man, this brings a ton of heat.May have to follow up with some FRSB store select OBSV. If I like, I am definitely going back to pick up some for the bunker. At $34.99, it's a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga Gator Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 ECBP after a long week. After reading here about higher proof I have found I like the barrel proof offerings. Bookers, Stagg Jr and the ECBP are in my regular rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boozer Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 A little standard 4R Sb followed with a pour of ECBP.Will, what's the year on the WLW. I don't remember what proof with what year.Except the 117 proof was 2006. My think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 WTKS to wrap up the evening. Started with HMBIB. Pretty good combo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Back on the 4RSiB train. With my palate back on track I'm going all in on this one while it's tasting good. Last week all I got from it was rye mint. This week it's balanced. This is the bourbon I remember and I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 What the heck, it's Friday night so I can have another pour. This one is Stagg Jr. batch 3. I mixed it up this time and only added a little water instead of BT or OC8. Dang! This is fantastic with a splash of water. Previous batches needed to have the harshness tempered by the lower proof mashbill siblings. Batch 3 on the other hand works just fine with water. I'm impressed.

BFerguson Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Started the night with some JPS17 and a nightcap pour of BTEC Giant French Oak. Small barrels may not work, but I taste the benefit of larger barrels for long periods in this one!B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Doing a little blind sbs with some 2012 SmBLE and GBS OBSK. While not difficult to identify blind, I'm more impressed with how well the OBSK fares. I mean - it doesn't win, but I envisioned this being a complete blow-out, and it wasn't that either. Either way, I win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texaspete Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Long day yesterday. I drank enthusiastically last night. Bookers, then FRSB, then the oft derided Forged Oak which I still insist that I like. Then a great night of sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
