As for me I thought it was going to be a Scotch night but it ended up being a 4R kinda night, the most I have enjoyed this bottle of OBSQ, that Arran did a nice job of setting up the taste buds. Guess it was a barrel proof night either way. I see you have The Arran 12. I like that and especially the 14 yr. A beautiful fruit forward style, with a very pleasant apricot flavor that really stands out on the palate.

BigRich Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Had a bit of Blood Oath Pact 3 while watching Alien Covenant last nigh. Seemed appropriate This was a gift bottle and I'm not inclined to personally pay for things like this but it is enjoyable. A solid $35-$40 Bourbon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I like ocean, including the cask strength. It's not something I can afford to make a daily drinker though. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny since we (in europe) get random batches and the 128 is pretty readily available, in fact one of the first widely distributed batches here. You can still get it, in fact.

I get a spicy chocolate salt type taste that is pretty amplified in this version that i enjoyed. Youre right about prices, if it was around $70 I would prob buy another.

CardsandBourbon Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 A bunch of us were at dinner at the Old Stone Inn in Simpsonville KY and I've got a bottle of the OF 1920 so I thought I would try a pour of the OF 1897 BIB. All I can say is I'm glad I did. I really like the 1920 but the 1897 is even better on my palate. Noses and tastes like thick syrupy caramel. Definitely see a bottle of it in my cabinet in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRich Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 A neighbor had his 50th birthday party last night. I'm partially responsible for his current fervor for Bourbon. So he had a "Bourbon bar" in the back of the clubhouse in addition to the party drinks. One of the bottles I brought was OGD114 and later i noticed that someone put a WSR on the table too. Not having any WSR at home I decided to try the Grandad Weller Four Grain blend for the first time. That is seriously good. Another neighbor and I drank the equivalent of a bottle of that throughout the rest of the evening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hn4bourbon Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Had a great weekend but not much bourbon. Mostly wine. But I did get a chance to be at the local bar that I had a pour of Al Young's 50th over a week ago. I had another pour and this pour tasted better than what I remember of the previous pour. Maybe the bottle has had some time to open up. It was opened for me when I had that previous pour and from looking at the level, no one's had it since. Also had mostly OF1920 with ice nightcaps last few nights. Enjoying one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
