OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I bought a bottle but won't be replacing it. There are a lot better for the price in my opinion. I had been thinking about picking up a bottle of Cooper's Craft because I like some of Brown Foreman's bourbon and I appreciate that they own their own cooperage. Does Cooper's Craft remind you of any other bourbons? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Unimpressed' is a polite way to express it. 14 minutes ago, OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel said: Does Cooper's Craft remind you of any other bourbons? A few that are traditionally much lower priced, and generally found on the low shelves. Not wishing to pull anyone off of a taste experience that may turn out to be right up someone's alley; but it just struck me not special, nor very tasty. Others may find something in it to like. I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was thin with no finish and even a little bitter . You may like it and at the price not a lot is wasted if you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limegoldconvertible68 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 It reminds me of Old Ezra 7 yr. That's probably not much of a compliment since OE7 is considerably cheaper but I actually enjoy the flavor. I can coax some nice oak out of it and thought it was a decent pour neat. It mixes with coke nicely as well. I do seem to have a higher opinion of it than just about everybody I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I really didn't like Cooper's Craft at all. Indeed, I found it thin, bitter, and lacking in every category. To my tastes, it was in profile similar to a young craft distillate aged in small 15 gal barrels. Which in other words...not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richdel Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Just returned from a mini-Winter getaway to Southwest Florida and the Keys. Only thing I found that was in-obtainable in my area was a bottle (750ml) of Willets Pot Still. Found it in three different locations (Sanibel, Key West, and Marathon), but purchased it in Marathon for $40 (tax not included). Key West pricing was closer to $70, so it was a "no buy" for me in KW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Picked up three I've not tried yet... I've been tempted to buy a bottle of OF 1920, but it is more expensive than I like to pay. Let me know if you think it is twice as good as EW single barrel or Four Roses Single barrel as I can buy them here for about half the price of the OF 1920.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrv4 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Our usual Friday afternoon pot luck bourbon buddy gathering saw one of our group contribute a bottle of Old Forester 1920. None of us had tried it before. It was the hit of the evening. Bottles randomly arriving this evening were were Makers Mark 46, Larceny, OF 1920, and Evan Williams Single Barrel 2008. OF 1920 going on the acquire list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Cuz I really needed another SAOS SB..... Darn it if I didn't find a barrel I don't have hidden at the back of the shelf. And I've been looking @ These cherries for a year now. Finally pulled the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Stopped by one of my favorite independent stores for the first time since the holidays. It was a fruitful trip as they had RY10yrSiB, OWA, and ETL on hand. One of each came home with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the pricetags what you actually paid for the EC12 and the EW Single Barrel? If so, those were steals.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these 2 were from a previous label style (full oval shaped versus the more recent shape with the flat bottom). I'm not sure of their vintage yet.

Especially the 'finish' of EC: it really sits in your belly, and you get the whole 'warmth' of the bourbon. I hadn't really understood what was meant by finish till I tried EC. On another note, I hadn't tried EC 12 as I got into bourbon only after the NAS was introduced, but the NAS was certainly enjoyable. I intend to pick up another bottle whenever I polish off this one.
