I sure hope my wife doesn't notice that I built shelves IN the table leafs leaning against the wall back there. Three levels @ 4+ bottles each times three leafs . . .

HoustonNit 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.I need stashes like yours, behind the dining room door, garbage can by the lazy boy etc.You sir are a pro.

Clueby Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Some Rebel Yell 10 Yr Single Barrel and then some 1792 Full Proof single barrel private select while watching Blues hockey. They won but didn't clinch a playoff spot yet because the Kings won as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masset1982 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Enjoying some 2013 LE single barrel from 4R. Oh man, i can't enough of that stuff, this is trully a masterpiece. Glad I grabbed two more for the bunker. I bought the last one at €149, far from retail but totally worth it. Cheers! Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm sitting around the house this afternoon waiting on a chair to be delivered that I found out wasn't even put on the truck today so admittedly I'm a little cranky. Even still, as I sit here sipping a HH6 90 proof (thanks Gary) I'm left thinking that this is my height stick bourbon. Craft producers need to be at least this high to ride my ride. What I mean is that this is a solid serviceable bourbon that I enjoy that is $10 a bottle. Why the hell would I pay $50+ a bottle for "craft" shelf turds that aren't even this good? Crafties, you have been so warned. That is all.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Basically stood in front of the cabinet til something said "Drink Me". That happened to be some Larceny, since I enjoy my wheat bourbons. After that I was about ready to head upstairs when I heard a bottle of 4RSB whisper my name. Not one to disappoint, I had a pour of that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small price to pay for a bottle that is as good as that one!! That is what got me hooked on bourbon in the first place. Love that stuff and still wish I had grabbed 2 more bottles myself when I had the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Started off with some SAOS SB tonight. Then went and played my 14y son in basketball and popped something in my foot. so now I'm on crouches and drinking some ECBP 139.4p. A little something to help the Advil....

Kpiz Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Finally finished my bottle of Corti Bros Exquisite whiskey, a 7yo Kentucky bourbon finished for 8mos in Mission Del Sol wine barrels. It's not bad but I find the finish musky and off putting. It's a little tamer tonight, more like stale coffee than the usual strangeness I get from it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to pull it out and dust it off! Yes, I'd be interested to hear your current thoughts on this bottle. I don't know why I don't like that funkiness on the finish...I love the smell, and the start and middle of the palate are good, it's just the finish that gets me. It's not just this particular bottle, it's many wine-finished whiskeys, some vermouths, etc. Occasionally I get the same peculiar note in sherried whiskeys as well. You mention a rancio character, and I'm wondering if that's what I don't like, but that'd be odd because I enjoy older armagnacs that have what I perceive as rancio qualities. I suppose I'll just have to do more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
