JSpartan Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Final pour of a 1792FP SB. Very good, but I've only tried this store select, so I don't know how the regular version is. Edited August 5, 2017 by JSpartan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 In my admittedly meager experience (three picks, three 'shelf' bottles), 1792 FP doesn't seem to vary much. All that I've had were wonderful. Differences are noted; but, all have been fairly similar. And, for my wallet at least, all were worth the ask.

A few months ago I tried 3 sbsbs (2 store picks and a regular bottle) of full proof. Came to pretty much the same conclusions: Slightly different, but all very familiar. The "normal" bottle did place last, but it certainly wasn't bad by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Finished a 12 year wheated experimental this week. This was very interesting. Had the normal Weller thing going on, but also some light berries in the middle and fresh fruit on the finish. I'm not a big fan of Weller 12, but I definitely enjoyed this bottle.

Swamp55 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 One man down. One man up. Over the years I have come to appreciate BT more and more, especially at it's price point. And, with the increasing scarcity of this stuff in my neck of the woods, I suppose that the "absence makes the heart grow fonder" phenomenon has also contributed to my appreciation!

kevinbrink Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Kicked my last SAOS Rye, pretty sad to see it go. The RRSB was a good one too fortunately don't have to look too far for my next pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Finished this recently, it's a 375ml JB Signature Craft Harvest series - the High Rye release. It was actually quite good. For a comparison, think it might be what an 11 year old 90 proof OGD could taste like. I'd buy it again and in fact have another. I bought a selection of different recipes when I came across them at around twenty bucks about a year ago. Thought I'd sample several of them out of curiosity. I can't say I'm expecting the others I bought to be as good as this High Rye (brown rice, Triticale and whole rolled oat. They didn't have any of the red wheat unfortunately). But I'll keep an open mind, whenever I get around to opening them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Busy night tonight, and I'm too lazy to go get my camera and don't know how to take pictures WITH A PHONE (after all, IT IS A PHONE!!) so all you get is a stock photo of ONE of my empties. My only Baby Saz bit the dust as the base in some Cynar Manhattans while we finished off some skirt steak I grilled this weekend, and tonight "all by myself, again" I finished off my Jos.A.Magnus Cigar Blend Batch #1. The opinions of some critics notwithstanding (Hi, Wade, et al), I will miss the JAB/CB#1 a lot. So, thanks, Nancy. Your work is appreciated by me.

Good one Rich! that had me laughing. I was stuck at an airport for a couple of days a while back during a business trip. A fellow passenger reminded me that we actually willingly paid and continue to pay to be tortured:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp55 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Ah, hate to see the last pour of this one. But, the pain is eased by the fact that, after several weeks of no luck, I found a replacement bottle of this stuff for the cabinet the other day. Relief! Blanton's is no longer "exciting" to drink for me, but it's sort of like an old friend that I know I can always enjoy the evening with -- good stuff!

Vosgar Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Having the last pour from a fantastic family size PS BT. Yeah, I know, it's only BT but this was truly a honey barrel and one I'll definitely miss. I've always been a fan of BT, but it's the second time I've had a PS that showed me how amazing this whiskey can be. It's great to know there's still reasonably priced bourbon that IMHO will stand with damn near anything else out there, regardless of proof. Hats off to my favorite distillery!

elmossle Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 After a long day in the yard, this seemed like a nice way to hydrate this evening. Sadly I feel this is one of the many bottles to become empty as there are a few with very little left in them.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Dant BIB, HH6 BIB, Old Forester 1920, and new bottle Weller SR are headed to the recycle bin. A couple I finished a while back, and a couple more recently. Now I have to find a couple to open. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
