taddraughn Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Sipping on some Four Roses Private Selection OBSO. I think I like the OESK recipe better, but this is still a wonderful pour. Edit: Worth noting that I got to try some 2014 Sazerac 18 in a restaurant a few days ago. They had glencairns so that was a bonus. I thought it was absolutely amazing (even though the pour was 35 bucks). Definitely will be trying to get my hands on a bottle from here on out.

BigRich Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Enjoying a Jackies 1792 PS in my hotel room at the Greenville, SC Marriott. Kudos to them for excellent glassware in the room! I don't know Joe. I think I know three of the numbskulls on that tasting panel. Are you sure that it is any good?

flahute Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I've been trying some interesting things here at the Bourbon Affair. Yesterday at Wild Turkey, drank some wonderful bourbon right out of the barrel. Eddie was pouring and said that this could be either Kentucky Spirit or Russel's Reserve. (They could choose it for either). It drank quite well at the literal barrel proof (somewhere around 118) so I'd hope that they would call it RR. A little later, we got a preview of the new Master's Keep Decades bourbon that's coming out later this year. It has a little 10 year old in it, mostly mid to high teens, and a little 20 year old as well. This one is bottled at 104 proof and has more punch and boldness to it compared to the 17 year old Master's Keep. Very nice. Today at Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, I tried three barrel proof whiskers that they don't currently bottle. These were provided to show us differences in barrel type and char level and what they do to flavor. Sample 1 was a 1 year old standard rye recipe bourbon aged in 3 year air dried heavily toasted Chinquapin oak barrels. Though it had some new make flavor to it, it was quite impressive how good it tasted and it had the same color as the two 7 year old samples. This oak has a much tighter grain and ages the bourbon faster. It's also very expensive. Sample 2 was a 7 year old rye recipe bourbon aged in heavy char (not sure if that means #4 or #5) barrels. Sample 3 was the same aged in #3 char barrels (Heaven Hill's typical barrel). I preferred the heavy char. The flavors were more pronounced. If they bottled this, I would be a buyer.

fozzy71 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 A BT neat which I haven't tasted without being vatted with OGD114 was a nice start to Thirsty Thursday. Followed that with a standard 4RSiB and now having a OGD114 with a cube. My decanter of OGD114:BT is probably next in the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 First let me say how nice it is to see Fozzy back among us. Glad you're around again, sir. I killed off the last of an earlier version of SB Blend that had been languishing in my closet. ....About 5-ounces of the 50-50 original attempt that I've since changed to 60-40 in favor of OWA. The 50-50 actually was pretty good, and got better with more air; but I'm sticking with the 60-40, as long as I can acquire any more W12.... a dubious proposition, I suppose.

Fort Knox Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 At dinner with the wife and some of her co-workers, I had a KC on the rocks, followed by an Old Fashioned with RR6 Rye. Since getting home, I poured some MM46CS, and now some CEHTBP while watching the NBA Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TY, I left for a while cuz I was a bit of an ass to the mods/admins truth be told but figured I would give it another shot now with a calmer head. We should try to meet up again for a lunch. 60/40 SB is so good. I am going to make this pint I have left last as long as possible cuz who knows when I will be able to mix another. Just had a pour of my last pours decanter from the fridge with some paramount garlic pita chips and oasis garlic hummus, not sure what is next but probably time to hit the back row of barrel proofers. I guess ECBP 139.8 with a cube of ice will have to do............ Edited June 17, 2016 by fozzy71 drunk typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Started with some ER10 before moving to the ol' dependable SB Blend (70/30, heavy on OWA).

mbroo5880i Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Nothing special tonight...or is it? Finishing off a bottle of EC NAS. I have really enjoyed this bottle. In fact, I have enjoyed this bottle more than my most recent bottles of EC12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Full 1.5 oz pour of ECBP 139.8 with a big cube. Nectar of the gods I tell ya. It really doesn't get much better than this IMO. It is going great with my new Nautilus X atomizer tank and RY2K (RY4 Tobacco, Toasted Almond, Toasted Marshmallow and Caramel) nicotine liquid.

mortre Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 It was a rough week at work. Maker's Mark Cask Strength (111.4 proof), to Stagg Jr (132.2 proof) and I'm about to pour a couple of ounces of Old Weller Antique. Tomorrow morning might be a little rough though.
