OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 To celebrate spring 2017, I open my first bottle of Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style. Cheers! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thig Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Very nice, quickly became one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Opened a newly purchased bottle of Benchmark - a pretty good bourbon and for the price it's even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm0369 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That's funny, I picked up a 1920 yesterday and forgot it was in my car. Got home today and cracked it open. It's even better than I remember from a store sampling. If it was $45-50 I'd be stashing them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Figured it was time to get this version of the thread off the ground. Anyway, nothing special opened today, just a regular bottle of Buffalo Trace. While it might be a "standard" pour, it still does the trick and is tasty to me. Cheers to Spring everyone!

I second both your sentiments, elmossle! BT is a regular pour that I enjoy very well; and, who doesn't wish to cheer the arrival of Spring? I can't offer anything special as to what I've opened today.... Jeez it's only 8:30 in the morning on a week day! I did open a WTRB yesterday, however (116.8-proof). Not necessarily better than average; but definitely didn't disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanger11 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Opened my first bottle of WT 101 Rye. Very nice for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Finished off a Stagg Jr. 132.5 and opened a new 130.0. Very similar. The 132.5 had a little better nose with more of that carmelized brown sugar to it. Could be due to the freshly opened 130 having more alcohol in the nose.

CardsandBourbon Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Opened a bottle of last night. Enjoyed it with some dark chocolate covered dried cranberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limegoldconvertible68 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Opened Old Ezra 101 7 yr. For a less than $20 bottle it competes favorably with anything on the market in the value vs quality category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Came home today with a big craving for some regular old BT, but didn't have one open . How could that be???? There's always a BT open in the booze cabinet. Took care of that oversight by opening a family size 2011 private selection from Andy's in Rochester, MN. Enjoying a healthy pour along with a Romeo Y Julieta 1875 on the back porch. Life is now good again. Edited March 24, 2017 by Vosgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I guess I need to get some OF1920 it's $50 and almost walking distance from my place. I have a good amount left of GTS Jr. batch 5 and can get more down the street for $45. I enjoy the BT stuff more so not sure a 120 proof OF1920. I need find a pour of OF1920 first and see whether I want a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 These were opened last night with friends, but SAOS 10 year which was bottled last year on my friends birthday which is St. Patrick's Day and his first time over in a while so that had to be opened. After that we cracked open a bottle of OWA. Now the real questions is how long will they last before being talked about over in the Empty bottle support group thread??

Hop Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Having just finished writing and printing all the Annual Reviews I have to deliver over the next two days and having received mine last week from "Da Boss" I decided to open a bottle of... (there was a long pause during the typing of this message as I hadn't decided which it was going to be at that point... ) Rock Hill Farms! It feels good to get at least the writing portion of the reviews behind me and now the delivering will allow a chance to celebrate as well.
