garbanzobean Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Isn't all the OS line still MGP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear. It is all MGP. I meant the V yeast is shared between FR and MGP from the Seagram's days. According to Fred Minnick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris m Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Had a 1:1 stagg jr. batch #3 & CEHT Rye. Wasn't nearly as good as I was expecting. Let it sit for a month, I'm thinking it was a little too long and the seal on the vial wasn't that great. Followed up with a bit of Blanton's. Also disappointing, the last two bottles I had were fantastic, this one is harsh and uninteresting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtlcville Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Jefferson Reserve very old small batch, Scout Ambler 7, and now ORVW 10 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgg Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Didn't like the EWSB I tried the other night so opened a bottle of OWA 107. Very nice. Full flavored, good finish, everything I like in bourbon. Will try to find more tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFerguson Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 So good, one of my fave recent pours for the price (one spot is 34 and the other I hit recently was 38/9) and I am hoping there is some on the shelf next time I go back to that shop.Funny I read this and the first thing to mind is damn, that's a lot for OWA. Then I think, it's a damn shame that it's even become scarce in the first place. Then I think, it should be renamed Young Weller, even since they dropped the age. Squire and Chuck aren't the only crotchety guys around here all the time. Tonight I'm just playing the younger version of them. Sipping some EWSB 05 tonight. Not one of their better years IMHO. Good, but last year was far better.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintilian Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Enjoying a pour of EC12 and will probably follow it with a pour of FRSB or Old Forester BiB. I haven't decided yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyoski Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Was in the mood for Manhattans this Monday. Started with Jefferson's, moved on to WR and finished on a high note with ER10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Isn't all the OS line still MGP?Yes, what we know as standard MGP Bourbon was developed by Seagrams as a flavoring whisky for their blends. Of course that will change when their new mashbill products come on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Nut Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Enjoying several pours of EC12 Barrel Proof with some water. Great flavor. Too bad I only have one bottle left, and I have not been able to find any more in the Minneapolis area....oh well, I am happy to have what I have.

ken_mays Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Stagg Jr batch 2 with some water. Last time I had this, I drank it neat but I had to cut it tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Boy.....not a great night at the start. Had some Kentucky Vintage that I bought a year ago. Like so many of the KBD budget bourbons, I get that same dang wet cardboard flavor that just turns me off. Couldn't finish it. Gave the Michter's Toasted Barrel another chance. Blech. Poured them both down the drain. Clearly I'm not in a good mood having just lost a favorite pet, but you know, life is too short to suffer through bourbon that you dislike extremely. Redeemed the evening with Ezra Brooks 12yr. Then I hit it out of the park with OGDBIB. Everything goes a little better with some OGDBIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first ever pour of Bowman Brothers Small Batch. Bought this a year ago or so, just now getting to it. Very nice. I clearly taste the BT DNA in it, but there's something a little different about it. It has a creamy buttery moment in the middle of the palate before finishing with some rough edges. It's a keeper for the price. Now that I think about it, this is my first Bowman product period. Need to rectify that based on this first impression.After this pour I feel a bit of WT101 coming on.
