b1gcountry Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Would anyone be interested in meeting up sometime in the next month or two in St Louis? I would be willing to arrange something. Option 1 meet at my houseOption 2 meet at a bar Option 3 set up a local distillery tour...or make another suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'd be in! Maybe Still 630? Although if at a house would be a better opportunity to try to some different stuff we'd bring (with designated drivers of course!) I'm gone a big chunk of June (13-127).

b1gcountry Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have a bourbon night at my house every other month. I'm up in Ferguson though. I know that's a hike for some.My wife has a weird work schedule. May 13 and 27 evenings might workSent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) I'm always game for hanging out. Still 630 is a fun tour. Just did it a few weeks ago. Not really a place to hang though....its literally a gutted old fast food restaurant. May 27 would probably be better for me.

b1gcountry Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 The vanilla infused wp10 and the wheated 12 year BTEC were very unique and enjoyable. I had a nasty banana taste in my mouth the whole next day. I'm not sure where that came from, but that was my least favorite...Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was the dusty ancient age......cherries all the way. I think honestly my favorite was the "Antique 6 year" in the fancy decanter. That vintage stuff just has a certain taste to it, that cannot be duplicated with today's juice. Really appreciate those getting opened up!

Really appreciate those getting opened up! Great, and thanks. I agree, the profiles of many of those older whiskies are different than what is available today. I'm not sure it can't be duplicated today , rather there has been a fair amount of intentional changing to a lighter style. Perhaps, as the industry continues to get more healthy and our enthusiast community thirsts for more variety, those heavier, raisiny, dark fruity, full bourbons will make returns in a few labels. Kudos to Bigs for bringing those out. So, when y'all gettin' together again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
