LCWoody Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Having a good pour of WRDO SP. I'm not to big of a fan of the DO, but this SB is pretty good. Almost a throwback to the sweet taste that made me fall in love with WR when it first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 VOB BIB this bottle has been open a little while after only 1 pour and it is either much improved or my palate was off ( most likely that !!). Definitely planning to add more of these next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 2 store selections that are outstanding. Awesome amount of flavor and a great smooth warm finish. 12 - 14 years must be the sweet spot for KC. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using Tapatalk I found a few store selections locally for around 40 bucks. Planning on buying a few to compare and contrast with the standard. I've had this particular standard open now for close to two months and the air has definitely helped reign it in a bit and take a little zing out of the initial heat.

I've got a bottle that I bottled during our recent distillery tour. Haven't opened it yet. Hoping it is in the same league with the other two. Yeah a single barrel store selection of KC for $40 is a steal in my book, especially if you can get an older barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 It was a beautiful night up in the mountains. So I had a large pour of EC12 as I was grilling dinner for the family. Once that was finished, had a quick night cap with a little HH6yrBIB. Now to bed for an early wake up call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpiz Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Having a nice pour of Booker's with a few drops of water. It doesn't taste as sweet as usual tonight, I'm actually getting a good amount of oak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this happens I give up and turn to OGD, my bad palate night proof bourbon of choice. Tonight I'm drinking from this CEHT Single Barrel I've been nursing for a year or so. It's one of those exceptional bottles I don't want to end. If barrel info was available on this I'd have stocked up, it's that good. Given the cost, I'm always nervous with these because I've had average ones as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't. We already know... They weren't even putting them online for awhile, but the locals are pretty well stocked now. Enjoy!

Hop Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 After the last two days of delivering annual reviews back to back all day I didn't have much time for online activity but I made time for bourbon - finished off a crock of Evan Williams Master Distillers Select and got close on a bottle of EWBIB. One more review today and then it's back to the paperwork of submitting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been collecting them for the last year. 10 & 11 years. There's close to 20 different ones now. I couldn't keep track after awhile, so I started photo-ing the barrel # of every one I bought to avoid duplication. So to answer your question, no.... And they're burried in storage right now. I only keep reference by barrel # as to how they taste. The only recently available one I have tried that really stood heads above the rest is # 3633 (10 year, 60.1%) it's a caramel bomb. I would order ones you don't have. I've never really found a bad one, but tend to enjoy the 10 year slightly more than the 11's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 ^Thanks ok I've got a 11 year old will go with a 10 year next time assuming they still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbrink Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The real issue with ordering online is you never know if you will be getting a Sarah bottle or a James bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emr454 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Started with my second pour of CEHT Smb and now onto standard BT. Man, I'm really liking the CEHT so far and it's my first bottle. The BT is its reliable self and a nice companion to its higher proof counterpart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you as well. I ended up ordering a few bottles from them when I checked out the site. Those prices were far below what I'm used to seeing.

Harry in WashDC Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 This warmer weather has pushed me off my go-to OGD BIB and my ryes. Craving wheateds (or even Bernheim) but am too lazy to walk downstairs and dig in the bunker. Hence, I am finishing off a JB BIB that I found among my winter ryes behind the dining room door.
