TunnelTiger Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Finishing off a bottle of Bowman Brothers Small Batch. As usual, the last pour of a bottle I'm not sure about is amazing. Enough to tempt me to go right out and get another. I will stay strong however and remember all the so-so pours. Regular BT satisfies nicely so there's no need to pay $10 more per bottle for this one.Amen brother, stay strong and remember the meh pours. Most likely the price spread is more than $10 now anyways.

JDSmith619 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Last night had a few pours while watching the storm roll in ... 4RSB, THH, and finished with ETL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Back into the 1792 . . . decided I need to setup a blind tasting with similarly aged/proofed options in the cabinet, so thinking ETL Commemorative and ER10(SB) should fit the bill (and if I get crazy, could pull the HW American Prairie Reserve into the mix!) This 1792 is somewhere in the neighborhood of 9 yrs 6 mos I believe, and just keeps knocking my socks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red One Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'm having a pour of AECS, 2013. I wonder if it has aged poorly? Not as good as I remember in the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhalter Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 EW1783. This is a simple low proofer. Sweet, lots of vanilla with some oak. Its like the JV version of EC12. It tastes mighty fine from the fridge when I want to drink my bourbon, and not have to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleCBreese Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Bowman Gingerbread Beer finish with an ice sphere made of Ginger Ale. I never make mixed drinks, but this is a nice alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docbible Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 JPS 17 batch #2 second pour. This one is hitting my sweet spot tonight. Wheater perfection in a bottle. Now to find a batch #1? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 HMCKBIB to start the nightI had a few pours of this after my 4RSB last night and killed off the last pour or 2 of my 60:40 OWA:WSR mingle which was excellent. A pour of BT to start tonight then I might hit that HMcKBIB again and one/some of my Alberta Dark vattings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis D Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 '95 EWSB from a few minis I brought along on my business travels this week. Don't drink a lot of EWSB but this one sure is hitting the spot. Easy drinking, has a slight vegetal note on the finish that keeps things interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Working on a bottle of Stagg Jr., Batch #3 while watching what appears to be the last game of the NBA finals. Very solid bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Just poured a glass of Blanton's Private Reserve and forgot how much I like it. And in Australia it really seems amazing value. It's cheaper than both Eagle Rare (which tbh I've always found boring) and much cheaper than Elmer T Lee. How do these 3 compare price wise in the US? Over here:Blantons = ~$65Eagle Rare = ~$70-$72Elmer T Lee = ~$95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 And... I just followed it up with a Single Barrel Russell's Reserve. Sooooooo smooth for 55% ABV. Fantastic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffrey r Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Had another pour of the new HW Bourye last evening, and I still love it. Just a really nice mingling of solid bourbon and creamy and spicy rye. Followed it up with a small pour of Larceny, which is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amhazed Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I am drinking a mixture of Elijah12, Knob Creek sb, and Knob Creek Rye....very nice but misses the mark just a little bit from what I was going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDSmith619 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Last night was a 1792 PS, Bernheim, and ended with OBSOGrabbed a couple batch 8s of ECBP so probably break into one of them tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golzee Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 WT101 straight up. I think the dirty bird is my new favorite, replacing RR10yr. I got fever and the only prescription is more bird. I have yet to be disappointed by anything that is made by WT. However, I have not tried any of their limited editions (which is fine by me). I would love to try some of the older age stated turkey though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Revisiting a local favorite: Woodward by Valentine Distilling. They don't say how long it's aged but they do it all: distill and bottle then age in 53 gal casks. It has been a few months since my first bottle and man, I forgot how good it is. The ones that it reminds me of would be 4RSmB and a little bit ETL but a bit more rye/spice. I think I need to go by one of my fave stores where I noticed one of the old style bottles on the shelf and grab it for the bunker.
