Fort Knox Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 after 2 there is always a 3rd or 4thMost likely true, as I just took my last sip of ETL, but the question is....what shall it be? Do I kick it up a notch with something barrel proof, or stay in the 90's? hmm....decisions, decisions..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'll be pouring from a flask of BT at this afternoon's gathering of family. These are folks that I don't expect to provide me with anything I care to pour, so I bring my own.BT never is a bad pour, and will go with about anything that may be served. It's so mild, mellow and easy to drink, without getting ripped; I find it a good choice in these circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Santana Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Started early yesterday with some J. Henry Cask Strength (local product, pretty good), then on to Bookers, which really hit the spot. That was all late afternoon/early evening. Then later on I did my weekend 4R private barrel showdown. This week OBSF beat OESF. Both aged around 11 years, similar proofs. Bought the OBSF awhile ago and the first time I tried it thought it was just okay. Hadn't tasted it since. I don't know if my palate was off or it opened up, but thought it was really good, bordering on great last night. The label described it as "minty, fruity", but I didn't get any mint at all. Almost a chocolately thing going on though. I think I can still get another bottle of it, so I may have to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Had dinner with friends last night who are starting to get into whiskey so I brought over 6 bottles for them to taste to further their development. Their current faves are 4RSmB and WT101 so I chose to mostly stay in the $20ish to $30ish price range. We went with:BT to represent that distillery.RR10 since they like WT (would have rather gone with WTRB but didn't have any on hand)EC12 to represent HH.HMcKBIB as a sbs with EC12 and because it's in the price range.4RSB because they like the SmB. This is a bit out of the price range but was presented as a worthy splurge.OGD114.The clear favorites were 4RSB, EC12, and OGD114. Of course, I was pretty happy to see them like my favorites.

Hop Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just got to a cabin in Western NC for a few days stay, unloaded the car, checked things out, and poured a water glass of W12!

jonhalter Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Opened a bottle of BT Market Square store select, the 1.75 from 2013. Highhorse I believe you had a hand in picking this one. Well done. Id love to have a bit more proof to it, but it has a wonderful flavor. Best standard BT Ive had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Henry McKenna BIB. Nice sweetness up front, with stout oakiness and proof to back it up. Wonderfully drinkable. Not sure HH would/could be in the position to have to choose to release only one of these, but if I had to choose , I think I would go with the HM over the EC.

I agree to going with the HM over EC12, particularly if vatting were out of the question. HM is so balanced and poised, most barrels I have had at least. Some are a little briny, some more apple or oak going on, but all have been good. Yet, I buy as much or more EC12 anyway, being the cheapskate I am. :grin: Going 2:1 with FC6:EC12 yields a very nice HH sipper, IMO, and costs considerably less than McKenna (which I just cannot bring myself to vat with anything).
