Don't be a stranger. Thank you, flahute! Things off the Internet have been taking up incredible amounts of time, but it's all good things. Also, since it's been Passover for a week (tonight is the last night), there's no recent whiskey to report. I've been surviving on wine and slivovitz, since fermented wheat, barley and corn are on the no-fly list for the duration. Tomorrow evening is a Post Passover Pizza Party, at which I predict I'll have a bourbon with the appetizer, and beer with the pizza. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...

lcpfratn Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'm on a mission of killing bottles to make room in the cabinet, but I'm not complaining! Cheers! Will.

HoustonNit Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Sadly, far far away from Texas! If it's Europe and in particular Dublin or France you might get some help cleaning out those cabinets towards the end of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'm having a good night enjoyed some EHT Small Batch, still don't think it's as good as ER10 but good. Been drinking OWA107 and very happy, solid pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisiana Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 19 hours ago, Hop said: Opened a bottle of BT Store Selection that the Bourbon Buyer for the store told me came from a barrel with 3 leaks which significantly reduced the yield but produced a very rich and flavorful bourbon. I decanted about 375ml of it from the 1.75 bottle (hadn't noticed this before but there isn't a pour regulator in these 1.75s) Not much from the nose but my sinuses/allergies have been terrible with all the travel and all the tree pollen we have right now, but the flavor is all there, sweetness, oak, thick syrupy mouthfeel, and with both the oak and alcohol it seems to be punching above the normal weight in both proof and age. Very pleased I picked this one up. Didn't have a chance to taste it prior to purchase but I've bought several different barrel selects from this store and always been happy with what they delivered. Had a nice pour from a BT Store Select last night. These can be unique & very tasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlounderinDC Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Finished a Makers Cask Strength over the weekend. I really enjoy that stuff. I also pulled a Weller 12 out off the back and am working on it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Decided to have a pour from a standard FRSiB that has been sitting at about 1/3 full for months. I have too many open bottles. Anyway, I hadn't had any FR in quite a while and forgot how good it can be. I think I'll be having another glass this evening.

Golferpimp1 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 OWA tonight. To my palate this stuff is just so good. Soft and sweet for a 107 proof. Drinks very easy neat, but packs enough punch to keep u coming back and has a very solid finish.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Started off the night by finishing off the last of some '08 WTKS. After that, just some regular BT. Both pours hitting their perspective targets that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbon4all Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Beginning middle and end of the night was all Nas Elijah Craig. Been in the kill pile for a while and tonight showed me it will soon be part of the empty bottle support group because it has hit a magical oxidation level. so so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 This should be interesting 1 part OC81 part CEHT SmB ***Update not so interesting. Seems to have taken away the selling points of both and added nothing interesting.Next up Stagg Jr and OC8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 OC8 and Stagg Jr. is where it's at. I've been blending the two for a few years now.What's your ratio? Did two parts OC8 and one part Stagg Jr. It was much better than the 50/50 CEHT blend but I think I prefer both separate more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'd typically do 2/3 Jr. to 1/3 OC8. Knew I had it backward with my 129 proof release that will bring it in just under 113. I can imagine that being a lot more interesting. Will try it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nm0369 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Revisiting the bottle of ECBP A117 that I opened last week. The air time has definitely helped it...I get more than just oak on the palate now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
