mortre Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Got a few more to go. I just finished one of those myself. How did you feel about it? I didn't think it was bad, but I wasn't blown away either. I found it to be very cinnamon/big red/red hots, but not much else.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk I love CEHT SmB, I get a pecan/walnut pie flavor that I love. I put one small cube in the glass swirl it a few times and take the cube out, that is where I get the best flavor. I tend to drink this one too fast sometimes. I'ts one of very few, I have backups of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeko Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I am also a fan, pretty consistently delicious It's my go to for a neat daily pour, or if somebody comes over for a mixed drink. The flavor comes through. I just finished a bakers. It was delicious! I sometimes wonder if kc single barrel is a better deal than bakers. Similar in price but kc is older with a higher proof.

Charlutz Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Killed this after a year. I don’t know that I need a support group. It was a generous gift from someone who didn’t realize I don’t care too much for finished whiskey. I did come to appreciate it after hearing from Nancy about all she was trying to do when blending it. I think she hit the target. It’s just not for me, though the cold weather and holiday season also helped to put me in the mood to appreciate the profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk Arguably I don't find the flavor profiles to be similar at all. I think each whiskey has its place, but would never consider either to be a substitute for the other. That being said, I enjoy them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Just finished a JB Signature Craft 12yr and still can't believe how much I've enjoyed it. I'm definitely not one of JB's biggest fans, but this bottle was wonderful. Every time I'd pour a glass I was surprised at how flavorful and polished it was and would say to myself "yes, it's still good", completely expecting my thoughts of it to change. I can only imagine how much more I'd like it if it were a few points higher in proof........ Thanks again to BourbonJoe's buddy Larry for convincing me to try it, and then letting me take home what was left of the bottle from the gazebo at this years KBF. Another reminder to myself to always keep an open mind and not to damn a whiskey because of preconceived notions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall hearing/reading somewhere that Baker's is a lower barrel entry proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Good morning… I wish I could find Gammel Dansk in the US...It’s even better than Underberg to me.

I was just wondering about the age plus higher proof, since the kc single barrel is cheaper. For me, I would buy more bakers if it were more inexpensive compared to the kcsb.

I just received my first order from Master of Malt, and was actually surprised that they shipped to Tennessee. I haven’t checked to see if Whiskey Exchange ships to Tennessee or not. I get to Denmark often enough that I really shouldn’t have to order Gammel Dansk, but it’s nice to know that’s an option. Have you tried their premium Asmund Special? It is phenomenal!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Malt carries the standard Gammel Dansk as well. I've not tried the Asmund Special-- but thanks for the tip. Seems like that one is going to be a bit tougher to reel in. The number of retailers able to ship to Louisiana has dwindled to nearly zero over the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have most of my second bottle, but plan on looking for another bottle when I’m in Denmark this summer. If we ever meet up in Baton Rouge, I’ll try to remember to bring it with me...and maybe I can get a sip of that Black Tot! [emoji6][emoji106] Of course Bruce and Paul would probably like to taste that Black Tot too, but they may already have their own bottles.
