GaryT Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 My only 1792 Port hit the bin this evening. Wish I had a back-up because I absolutely love the mingle of this w/ 1792 FP. Gotta make that last now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Bottle of WTRB was good to the last drop tonight. It was a great way to kickoff the evening of this shitty day. Need to find a replacement quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Finished this one tonight. A good barrel. IMHO 2006 was the last good consistent year for the EWSB line. 2007 and forward have been pretty lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Finished off a John J Bowman Single Barrel this evening. The first pour went into a very fine hot toddy thanks to the cold I'm currently rocking but the last couple were straight up and they were damn good too.

HoustonNit Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Pretty decent barrel select of ER10. Look forward to trying a new bottle of ER10 BS I picked up yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golferpimp1 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Killed this a couple nights ago. I asked my wife to pick at random for me. She brought out to the pool and BANG....Vanilla bomb...knew exactly what it was. I likely won't be replacing this one.

Ale-8 is a milder ginger, while Buffalo Rock is Blenheim-ish in that it'll smack you around a bit. I like email both ad well, but I gots to have my helmet on when I go BR...

JCwhammie Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 This week's casualties. I'm finishing the ER tonight. I'm trying to make some room to validate opening some bottles that I've recently acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 It's been a productive week or so. I made a commitment to concentrate on bottles with half or less fill levels. The victims: 4R PS OESV, WT101, Michter's Barrel Strength Rye, Pikesville 6yr, ETL, WTRB, OGD114, and a HH6yr BIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen numerous similar comments around here, with some on the other side. I'm in no hurry to buy one of these at the going rate. Maybe I'll find it at a bar somewhere to try for myself. It depends on the barrel you get. Another thing, I suspect that some of the diehard wheater fans were looking for a readily available substitute for Weller 12 and were disappointed to find out that the profile was very different. Myself, I really like it. (Btw, I also love W12 too, it's in my top 10). But then again many of my favorite bourbons are rye-based mash bills and RY10SiB has a complexity sort of similar to those. Plus like I said, this one is highly depended on the individual barrel. I've only tried 2 from the 2017 release but neither of them were as good as my favorites from last year.
