fozzy71 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Beam Signature Craft 12 yr. It has finally transitioned from being thoroughly unenjoyable to palatable (with temporary moments of enjoyment).I saw a bottle of this at my corner store earlier tonight.....

GrPeMi Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Had an OFSig along side some ribs. First time the heat (not much) and tomato/acid didn't conflict with the bourbon. Excellent combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I saw a bottle of this at my corner store earlier tonight.....In hindsight, I think it was $40 which puts it out of my self imposed $30/bottle cap in an effort to get my monthly/average costs down.Had an OFSig along side some ribs. First time the heat (not much) and tomato/acid didn't conflict with the bourbon. Excellent combo.I got an OFS on deck I have been meaning to try, just so many on deck and bunkered it hasn't happened yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz Nut Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 A small pour of EWSB 2005, I enjoy it, but not too spicy, so some may consider this a bit bland. I like it with a drop of water. Following that up with ECBP Hazmat with a splash of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAKEITOUTOFWOOD Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 SAOS 10 yearIm about 1/2 way through this bottle. Wanted to give it some time before I gave my thoughts on it. When I first bought the bottle I wasn't to happy with the the price tag $50.00. I am am really enjoying this pour. I would say it' starts as a buttery oak followed by nice sweetness with a slight cinnoman spice ending. I have to try the 7 year old see how it stacks up. May be a better value.

kwshannon Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 MMCS, batch 14-2. This is one of my favorites. The wheat and the full strength really hit the groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I was trying to work on finishing my Old Forester 1870. While it was never a favorite I had gotten to the point of where it seemed pretty decent, but after all the great whiskies I had at the Sampler, tonight it just blows :frown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Had some more Beam Signature Craft 12yr. Have a mind to power through it now. Semi enjoyable, not great. Certainly not a repeat buy. Following up with OGDBIB and the night is redeemed. Amazing what they can do with a basic BIB. Shames the 12yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfish Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 KC last night followed by KC SB. Mrs. F. opened a can of dark chocolate covered peanuts. The KC SB was transformed into smoked salmon--and not in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Fun day at work. :skep: All sorts of things going on today. We're getting ready for the big dog and pony show tomorrow, when we have a bunch of big wigs visiting us from corporate headquarters. :bs: I'm having a very healthy pour of BC VSOF to celebrate the occasion.

Harry in WashDC Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Happy meeting, fishnbowljoe.Tonight, I started with OWA+one ice cube which sat until the ice was gone. Then, I had a second. Then, a short JBB "Extra Aged". And so to bed after the Nats Braves game is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyflake45 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 At the present time, I am sipping on a healthy pour of Pappy 15yo with a tiny splash. Dam, my bottle is now down to about 3 more health pours. I just love this stuff!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 On to a pour of my Two James Grass Widow (TJGW?). Good stuff (quite fruity I think) but hard to justify $60/750ml even if it is a local. Revisiting this after the spicy vatting of OGD114/RITT is quite a contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff (quite fruity I think) but hard to justify $60/750ml even if it is a local.This is growing on me. And this explains the fruitiness:Grass Widow Bourbon contains a unique high rye mash bill. This delicious bourbon possesses intriguing levels of spice and complexity. The hazelnut and dried raisin notes are results of our proprietary Madeira Barrique finishing.
