Paddy Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Whoa!! I didn't think it was possible for them to end up with barrels at that proof what with the single level warehouses and how much control they have over the aging. That must have been something else! Heck of a night. In hindsight, I wish I had photographed the bottles. I was also surprised by the proof (both were clearly labeled), and was trying to be too polite to ask too many questions about them. Al just politely noted that he'd made good with the folks in the QC lab and they had taken to bottling up some of the pull samples for him to take on the road. My guess is that they are too young for JR to pull for retail bottling, thus the higher proof. Maybe my theory is off base though, as I couldn't find anything about either one to complain about. :grin: These two were sort of the elephant in the room secret, as both bottles were kept out of sight, but available upon request. I hit that OBSO hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Picked up a bottle of the 1792 Sweet Wheat. Its good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Poured a small taste of Old Forester B'Day Bourbon from 2012. Been seeking an end to my 'sinus infection taste sabbatical', and maybe it's coming soon. I was able to taste most of what I expected, ....but NOT ALL. Another few days or a week, maybe.

jeffrey r Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 CEHTBP 129 proof over a big ice cube. Seriously good bourbon, and packs a punch so not much more I can add to this on a Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Stocked with daily pour type bottles today but decided to hit FRLESmB 125th. I save it to share with family and friends but it was over half full so I decided to treat myself. After a weekend of wheaters (MMCS, OWA, WL12), it is a nice treat and change of pace.

flahute Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's been a Turkey kind of night so far. RR10yr to wet the whistle while recovering from some yard work.

If only that were true . . .I'd like to store a bottle of George T Stagg in your trunk for a while so it too can develop the ability to replenish itself.
