Masset1982 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Four Roses Yellow Label tonight, a friend offered me this for my birthday, it's very sweet, it's like the regular small batch but watered down like hell. Cheers! Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Enjoyed a recently open 4RPS OBSF I purchased a couple years back. The first pour was just kinda meh, the last couple have been very, very good. I first tasted this one at a GBS event and wasn't blown away. It was OK but not great and I was at a point where I didn't quite trust my evaluation at that point in the evening :). I rolled the dice and bought some and that first pour was the "meh" pour, now it seems to be hitting me just right. Looking forward to the streak continuing as I have an affinity for the 4R "F"s and I am loving how this one is shaping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Joey earned his money this week, so it's quickly out to the back patio for an Oliva V Melanio and a big ol' pour of Buffalo Trace.... For starters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcbt Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Opened up my KC2001. Like most other reviews, I think it's very good whiskey, but I'm not sure it stands out that much over KC. Now back to bottle-clearing mode and Balcones bourbon, which I decided I don't much care for after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Well there's something to be said for that first pour of the evening on a fresh palate. Enjoying a 4RSmB at the office and it's tasting about as good or better than I can ever recall. Even the finish is super long. I usually start my pours after dinner and we all know how food and whatnot can effect your palate. (Backdrop for those who care to read further......one of the design teams in our office is working on a huge project for a large company you all know. My friend leads the team. His team has been bugging him for more group design time so he made a deal: start at 4pm on Fridays and he will make drinks for whoever wants them (boulevardiers are the drink of choice). They then go as long as anyone wants to. They get access to the team leader, he gets drinks. I'm not on that team, but it pays to be good friends with the team leader! I just swing by, he pours me a drink or a bourbon neat, and I return to my desk and finish the work week with a nice pour.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I may "feel" better as the night goes on, that first pour is special (if not the best, maybe the best appreciated). Also - apparently I'm in the wrong line of work!! Finishing tonight with a pour of GTS '14. Itching for some bourbon after the rye, but needed something to stand out. Believe I found it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the spirit, I went with Knob Creek SB followed by Rowan's Creek. Drinking in a theme keeps things interesting. If not, just drinking bourbon will do the same thing.

The sticker on the side says "11 years" which I've never seen on one of these before Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think it is cool when a store is able to include an age label, especially when it is something out of the ordinary. I find BT just ok, ER much better. So, I find the BT #1 mashbill is better with more age. Of course, I love GTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) My pour tonight is OF 1920 while watching the Pacers slowing try to catch up to the Kings. Done wore the dogs out so they are sleeping. Time to relax. Edited January 28, 2017 by mbroo5880i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It figures. Having the last pour from a bottle of Barterhouse and I stumbled upon what makes this whiskey really sing..... pasta with a kick-ass red sauce. For whatever reason the sauce brings out both a sweetness and some dark cherry flavors I've never noticed before. This bottle was never remotely close to being a favorite and had been open for a couple of years, so it's nice that it finished on a positive note.

BBNBourbon Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 One pour of ER10 and one of RR10 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Haven't uncorked them yet but I picked up a couple of bottles today. 1) Larceny 92 proof. 2) Knob Creek Single Barrel. This is the one that really intrigues me. If was a barrel selected by Packages & More a local liquor store. It is 13 years & 9 months and 120 proof. Probably going to try it on Sunday. After tasting I'll get back and let everyone know what I thought. Edited January 28, 2017 by CardsandBourbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof_Stack Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Enjoyed a WT101 neat tonight. Nice oak character and a nice finish. It was the first pour of the $20 handle from Trader Joe's and I'm going to have to get another bottle while this crazy sale continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzobean Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I opened my first Old Ezra 7/101 the other night. Classic heaven hill profile, really tasty.

If you count the whole table, we had GTS, THH, ORVW, Lot B, ETL, RHF, W12 and probably a few others that I didn't see. Plus beers and food. Pic is dark but left front going clockwise around the table is garbanzobean (Eric), meadeweber (Jason), jfw (Joe) and then back right working to front is stoopsie (Howie), his buddy Kevin, Charlutz (Charlie) and mdbourbon (Scott). We had a great time and it was good to put faces to names. Thanks fellas! PS - pic was just before we left, thus the high incidence of water and lack of whiskey (we drank it all). Aw, crap. I really wanted to be there. Thanks for posting. I printed this out and showed it to my wife. "SEE? I coulda BEEN there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
