Limegoldconvertible68 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 First pour from my new bottle of Charter 101. It's a nice pour for what it is. I do get the honey flavor that was mentioned. Never would have tried it if it wasn't for this board. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Revisiting a bottle of CEHTSB I opened some time ago and wasn't that impressed, felt the same after the first sip this time. Just something off in the flavors but the finish was great so I kept at it for a few sips then added a bit of limestone water - that cleared up the flavor issue and the finish remained great so I'm back for a second pour.

silverc Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Had some KCSB Louisville Bourbon Society selection while watching the epic Green Bay/Dallas game. What a pour and what a finish in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Celebrating the Green Bay victory with some OF1920. Though the Seahawks and Browns are my teams, I grew up rooting for the Packers due to my mom being from Wisconsin and me being a Navy brat with no roots who lived someplace new every 2-3 years. Hoping the second game will be as good as the first. The night is young for us on the west coast so I have many pours left to ponder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm0369 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Started off with ETL, then a pour of Michter's 10yr and now Hibiki 12yr for a nightcap. This second game will run way too late for me, getting ready for season premiere of Homeland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Did a blind SBS with diluted samples of WTRB, Bookers, and 1792 FP (all diluted to 107 - so barely for the WTRB). My ol factory wasn't in great shape, so needs repeating - but on this particular given Sunday I found I preferred the Bookers (damn them!), followed by the 1792, with WTRB last (although all were fairly close). The 1792 was the sweetest of the bunch, but the dilution left it feeling a bit thin, where the Bookers had the best balance between oak and sweetness, with a silky mouthfeel. The WTRB was also more balanced than the 1792, but seemed muted (and being so close to the bottling proof - was a primary indicator that something was off; as I rarely find it muted when sipped neat from the bottle). Also was disappointed that I couldn't pick out all three (pegged the 1792, but had the others flipped - perhaps wishful thinking of NOT wanting to like Bookers as much!)

FacePlant Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 perhaps wishful thinking of NOT wanting to like Bookers as much! I feel the same (as I think many others do) in that Bookers is one great bourbon. If it wasn't widely appreciated as a Hallmark brand there wouldn't be hundreds of hate posts about the expected price increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 After frying up some fresh Bluegill and homemade fries for lunch, I opted for a WTRRSiB Store Selection for the start of the Green Bay/Dallas game. Wow, I hadn't hit the RR in a few months and it was delicious. That seems to be my criteria for selecting a pour nowadays... I stand there and stare at all the open ones and try to decide if I really have a taste for a particular juice and / or which one I haven't had in a while... With 30 something open bottles the decision is almost always a difficult one. The hardship is almost unbearable... But thanks to you guys and this support group I think I'll pull through...

I have a few bottles left from this barrel, and it is a nice one. Had a pour the other night. Jeffrey: To my regret, I only bought one. Did you happen to notice that the barrel number on the front label is different than the barrel number on the back label? Any idea why that would be?

A little heat there -- I definitely get all of that 101 proof. But a surprisingly long and easy finish. I get the honey, and a nice sustained cinnamon note too.

flahute Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Revisiting an old friend today. OGDBIB. It's been a while. I usually only go to you when I'm having a bad palate today, like today, because you always come through when no other does. It's a disservice really. You should also be enjoyed on good palate days. I shall endeavor to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
