dcbt Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm with you km. :grin: Blanton's for me too tonight. Enjoy.Cheers! JoeI also started the evening with a Blanton's at a bar after work with some coworkers yesterday. As an aside, I saw this place had a Pappy bottle high up on the shelf off-menu, looked like the 20 year. I asked the waiter about it as I was tabbing out just for giggles and he came back and said it was $14 for the 12 year. I couldn't hear everything he was saying because he turned his back to look at the bar as he spoke but the bottle definitely wasn't Lot B. It was certainly either the 15, 20, or 23. In any event, this place had a decent selection for a bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grain Belt Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Last night a friend and I got into some Woodford Reserve and Elmer T. Lee around the campfire in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. I ended up doing some damage to my Elmer T. bottle. It went down so well when the temps dropped and the stars came out. Great night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcbt Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Just finished off a Four Roses Small Batch pour while sitting in the pool. I'm not a HUGE fan of this bourbon but there are instances it really hits the spot, and this might the ultimate one for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Finishing off a bottle of SAOS 10. It is a decent enough bourbon. However, I am not certain it is worth the price ($50-$65) that I see locally, especially when I can get BP store selects for $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccleve23 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Tried the blood oath tonight. Not bad but not worth the price of admission for me. For a four grain whiskey, I find smooth ambler contradiction a far better pour for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willmohawk5 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Elijah Craig barrel proof 139.8. With a few drops of water. So good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaineervol Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Had a tasting with a few friends tonight. Started with Traverse City, which wasn't bad, a bit of a single hitter without a lot of depth. Followed that up with some Russel's Reserve that was quite tasty. Finished with Old Forester. Good night for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Started off this fine hot Saturday evening with RR10yr and have to say it's been growing on me. I've always been with the majority that downplay this one in favor of WT101 and Rare Breed. At 90 proof, the RR10 tasted thin for the first few pours and I wished for more proof. I seem to have adjusted to it as it's tasting just fine with a bubblegum candy start giving way to pralines and then the typical Turkey spice profile. I need to do a sbs with this and the aforementioned 101 and Rare Breed just to see how it stacks up with company.Now onto the final pour of a '14 GTS so I got all kinds of barrel char floating in the bottom of my glass - chewy! Also found a gnat in there......I figure the alcohol has sterilized everything so I fished it out and am carrying on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Did a blind tasting of 3 different OBSOs, all diluted down to 100 proof to try to level the playing feel. Not a big surprise, my favorite was the recent gift shop bottle; although I was pleasantly surprised that a recent local store pick came in 2nd. Want to do this comparison once or twice more before stocking up, but a good sign!Moved on to a blind tasting of a local 1792 pick against a GBS pick of ETL. I need to do this a few more times, but in two different tastings, I've picked the 1792 over the ETL. They're different pours to be sure, but fairly close in proof and age - and depending upon the mood I would reach for the ETL over the 1792.

amg Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Nice. I had a bottle of this that I liked but had decided not to buy another because it wasn't better enough than Rare Breed or 101 and I had decided that RRSiB would be my premium Turkey of choice. Then I went on the tour at WT and at the tasting afterwards tried WTRB, WTKS, and RRSiB side by side and the WTKS was the clear winner.Now I'm conflicted.That's the trouble with single barrels! I had a WTKS last year that was only subtly distinguishable from WT101 in a SBS. Seems to be a fair amount of variation in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I felt that a vacation was in order, so I spent the past couple of weeks off the grid in FL. Regular pours were EC12, JB BIB, HM BIB and Ritt BIB. I was tough, but I powered through...Happy summer ya'll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
