flahute Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've been back up in Whistler the past few days, but this time for fun. Once again, I brought my own, this time some RR10yr and ER10. Finished off the Russell's (wasn't much left) but did not make much of a dent in the ER10 because a friend I was visiting with was making Sazeracs with Crown Royal Black. (You do what you gotta do in Canada where American Rye is in short supply). They were good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 "I think I paid about $35 incl shipping to get this bottle from Europe. It's an outstanding example of what the Turkey can produce. I love it." 2 hours ago, birdie said: Where did you get, if I might ask, I was in the UK last week and this was a $100 plus bottle. 2 hours ago, Charlutz said: I got it on a site that no longer has it unfortunately. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BourbonDude Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Untitled #9 Batch #1, 6- yr. old, 86 proof, from One Eight Distilling in Washington, D.C. Have tried the #3 and another number I don't recall, but they've all been good. This one won a gold at the 2017 San Francisco Spirits Competition. At least we know one good thing comes out of Washington. :-) Edited September 18, 2017 by BourbonDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spade Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 SAOS SB, 10 years and 59%. I'll miss these — really good and very reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've had my future Missess pour blind twice for me tonight. First was ER10. It's always a fine pour, but I prefer a number of others in the same price range. Second was SJR. The more I have from this bottle, the more I like it.

lcpfratn Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Enjoying a little W12 this evening. I haven't had any in a while, since I'm trying to conserve my supply until this fall when I will hopefully find a few bottles of replacements.

The Black Tot Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Poured myself some RHF since it seems to be the new "it bourbon". ...yep, still very enjoyable - and still nothing to freak out about or overpay for. In saner times to come I hold hope that I encounter a store pick of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Like you said, WT has history, it needs to feel old, not cool or whatever. Maybe I'm just a nerd but I think Old/history is cool. I'm probably not the only as a lot of the craft guys try to come up with some old history BS.Those pisans at Campari need to get there stuff together.

HoustonNit Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Having a pour of a similar age 1L WT101. Am I crazy or do the bottles from 10 years back seem to have more spice, as if they had more rye in the mash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess maybe slightly older as well, but from I recall I don't thing they've changed much from there 6 years or so for standard 101 in the past 15-20 years.

MTNBourbon Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Finally getting to this bottle, the jury is still out, I like the color, and the nose, but some burn in the finish. Still for me, a 5 out of 6. Old Forester 1897 (Bottled In Bond) (100 Proof) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
