Government Beard Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I am having a pour of regular Knob Creek 9 Year I put into a decanter about 3 months ago. Poured out the entire contents of a full bottle, put the top on, and set it back on my shelf. I haven't touched the thing until today. The nose is wonderful but I feel the taste has definitely lost some "ummpf" from how I remember KC. Not sure how I feel about it. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I had to have surgery yesterday on my foot. So my neighbor boiled some shrimp and crawfish and made me a fire. I'm having some HM 10y for pain...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Very impressive. I've never had a store pick of Regular KC. How is it?Pretty good actually but might be I'm in the mood for something more mild tonight. Just had a pour of SAOS prior and I'm preferring the KC so something is off.Also it's been forever since I had the no store pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your taste buds are on vacation Just switched it up. I don't know the general consensus on Woodford Reserve/Brown Forman on here (probably not too great) but I will admit I love the finish of this WR Double Oaked. I've had it open for quite a while and maybe the air time has enhanced this thing. A nice charred and toasted finish from the double barreling. I will definitely be buying another when this bottle runs its course. Edited April 15, 2017 by Government Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the common theme I see here in regards to Woodford/OF opinions tend to be that a lot of people like OF Signature, and a lot of people like OF1920, and in general people tend to not think the regular Woodford is worth paying any premium over the OF Signature. The other consistent opinions I see are a general avoidance of the Woodford Master's releases, although I have heard decent reviews of the latest Brandy Cask version here and elsewhere. I think most people also think the OF Birthday Bourbon hype has gone beyond the quality of the juice. And I agree with most of the above. I was gifted a bottle of the Double Oakes and enjoyed it, but thus far have not picked up another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the majority of bourbon drinkers taste buds slant one way I think the "proof is in the pudding" sorta speak. I was actually interested in picking up one of those Brandy Cask Master's releases because I had received a BEVMO gift card. I went home first to check the reviews and everyone resoundingly put the stuff into the garbage category. If I am spending $100 bones on some juice I expect it to be a few notches above average. Easy pass. Double Oaked - I have enjoyed it too. So we have that in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOPirate Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 $75 was a bit high but I have been looking for some for awhile.

Most people either like it or think it is unique enough to appreciate. I get it at bars but don't buy it by the bottle...I actually like the standard wr and I get a taste for it every so oftenSent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people also think the OF Birthday Bourbon hype has gone beyond the quality of the juice. And I agree with most of the above. BIB summed it up pretty well as to the general feeling of this board towards WR and BF. I look Woodford fine, especially when flying on Delta. I don't keep a bottle around as a general rule, but if I could get a bottle that contained none of the pot still WR in the blend, I'd be a buyer. I like the Double Oak when I'm in the mood. Love, love, love the 1920. OF Sig has fallen off in quality for most here in the past year or so. I'm one of the rare ones that tends to love the Birthday Bourbon no matter the year.

flahute Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 It's a wheater night here. Started with RY10yr and am following with a healthy pour of OWA. The OWA is the winner tonight and since I don't want to follow with MMCS (because my current open bottle isn't that good), I think I'll follow with more OWA!

I like both fine, but honestly most days I prefer the Beam flavor profile to MGP. If your off tonight you might just be where I generally am on a regular basis. As for me I decided to do a SBS of Kirkland 7yr Tennessee Straight bourbon with a Dickel 9 Yr Store pick, they are remarkably similar on the nose to me almost indistinguishable but to the pallet even though I get more of the aspirin thing from the 9 yr I would give it the edge, whether that edge is worth 25% more money for 25% less whiskey is entirely debatable, but I see no reason why I wouldn't keep both around, a nice change of pace.

Decided one more pour was in order and splashed some Barrell batch 006 into a glass, interestingly I find the nose on the Barrell to be similar if not a touch muted in comparison, however, on the palette it enters similarly but on the mid and the finish really shines. Of course this is all in the name of research, I do my best critical thinking around 1 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up my bottle of WRDO when Liquor Barn had it on sale for $48 a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Enjoyed a nice dinner at the Beaumont Inn last night, and had a pour of their PS OESO (11 years and 111 proof). It's a really nice selection (one of three they currently have available), if you are in the Harrodsburg area and have a chance to stop in.
