Richdel Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 20 hours ago, MOwhisky4me said: Four Roses Single Barrel... Yum My first bottle of FRSB, and I had it over a large ice sphere. Sweet, very full and rich tasting. When it was gone. I poured the same amount of EC12(nas) in the glass over the sphere of ice. Night and day. I now know FRSB is my kind of bourbon. I have read (here I believe ) that any bottle of FRSB not part of a private bottling and 100 proof with just Warehouse info, will be OSBV. Thought I would like the lesser rye mashbill more, but the taste test proves otherwise. Outstanding pour on the deck with steaks on the grill.

Tennessee Dave Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 A couple of pours tonight because it is Wednesday. The cigar really brought out the sweetness in the Woodford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna have to spend more time with this one. As a SiB, it can vary. If you REALLY like the one you have, get the barrel number and RUN back to the stores near where you bought it. Today (WED 21 SEP), I noticed that a basic BT had about a 1/4 inch of BT in it. Decided to free up shelf space since my wife was grocery shopping. After my nap, we had cocktails before dinner with JB BIB, Carpano Antica, and cherry grapefruit soda. During South Park tonight, I have no idea - YET - what I'll have. Figuring that out is why I'm on SB now. Edited September 22, 2016 by Harry in WashDC Spelling, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverc Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Had some 4R OBSO from Grapevine Liquors earlier while grilling some steaks to enjoy the last day of Summer. Now it's a pour of EW BIB while listening to the game. Not bad for an average Wednesday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very good to me, now keep in mind I love old bourbons. Very woody, syrupy, and sweet. I like it enough that I have put 5 more in the bunker. I know I cant find a better price on a 22y bourbon, and it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reviews I could find showed it to be a good representation of an old bourbon, so I shelled out the $149 they were asking for it more for the experience of trying a 22 yr old just so I know, but 5 more? Probably not, unless I can find them priced more reasonably. Thanks a lot for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeAndMyWhiskey Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 HHBIB (the last 6year age stated in my bunker) last night. Getting down to the heel. I love to have an HHBIB for the summer and last night I realized why. I'm not sure how I haven't noticed this before (or maybe my palate was playing tricks on me last night) but I could have sworn there was a little bright citrus note (like mandarin orange soda) woven in the typical bourbon tapestry. I really think it's that element (which I haven't picked out before) that makes it sing with an ice cube on a warm night. Though this posting proves me either hopelessly unobservant for years or delusional for a night, I'm still curious if others pick up that note.

A local chef has selected a custom batch. It's similar to the single barrel programs from other distilleries but instead of selecting a single barrel, you select a number of barrels and then a custom blend of those barrels. This is better than any WR I've had in a long time. Full and rich in flavor. I'll be going back to grab a few more of these. Hey Steve. Did the bottle look like this one on the left? A buddy shot me this pic from a store in Indiana asking me about it , and I was stumped. I've not seen one like this before. Looked around here and found your post.

tanstaafl2 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 WR seems to have come out with new packaging in general so to the best of my knowledge this will be replacing the former bottle. Whether the spirit is any different I can not say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This beautifully designed 'new' bottle first started popping up around here about two weeks ago. I first saw it at Red Dot in Frankfort. Funny thing is, on the same day I saw it in Frankfort, the distillery gift shop still only had the 'old' bottles on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
