smokinjoe Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yeesh, another rainy night in Georgia this evening means another Braves rain delay. Which means, the game just started and I'm already a Virgin 101, OWA, and Eagle Rare in. Tomorrow looks to be a quick work day, but water for the rest of the evening...

OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hey what's the story behind the signed bottle of BS WSR on the right? I remember you complaining about no OWA but you have W12?These are my father-in-law's bottles. He has friends who went to church with Elmer T Lee. They introduced him to the Weller master distiller. I don't have any Weller 12 or OWA. I prefer Very Special Old Fitzgerald, but then again my name should make that to be no surprise.

JSpartan Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Just opened a KC SiB Liquor Barn pick (barrel #4621). I asked them for the actual age, but the guys there didn't seem to know. Anyone else try one of these picks from the Wheeling store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I love: bonded whiskey, barrel proof, and wheaters. Somehow this Four Roses yellow label bucks that trend. I've been enjoying it. I'm glad I listened to some of the other folks here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako254 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Old Forester single barrel that the total wine here in town got in a couple weeks ago. This is my second pour, still getting to know it. Soft corn up front, with some crisp apples and a banana note at the end. I'm enjoying it so far.

Whiskey Dick Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Spoiler as much as I've enjoyed SAOS barrel proof bourbons and ryes, I just cannot get into or even enjoy this 11 year 98.4 proof bottle. Sarah, you've finally let me down. Trying to work through it just to get it out of here. I think I'll stick to the higher proof and younger barrel proofer SAOS's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpiz Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm enjoying a large pour of EHTSmB at a hip newish bar that seems to be getting hipper with each minute that passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongGone Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 A couple pours of OGD BiB tonight for me. It's a good way to end this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Sat in the basement watching my Card's get screwed by the umpires in the CWS and decided to drown my sorrows, OK I would have had a pour even if we were ahead, with some EC SmB followed by some 1792 Single Barrel PS from Mammoth Liquors, Packages & More's sister store.

Kpiz Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Followed up my EHTSmB with a pour of OWA. Both are good, but I think I prefer the EHT. Also, I think I got 2oz pours of both these, which is pretty rare around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleblank Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I haven't been drinking much bourbon lately, but I have enjoyed a couple of KC and RR private barrels lately. I haven't liked the standard WT off-the-shelf stuff for years, but these are very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I got home from work today and decided to give the Schnuck's BIB another go. FWIW, I'm really trying hard to work down a few less than stellar bottles I have open. Well, the Schnuck's BIB is still pretty rough, so I though I'd add a splash of Bulleit to it to see if it helped. It did. Much more palatable. If this vatting holds up, I might be able to eventually kill two birds with one stone. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhatter Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 While watching 1.5 inches of water in the lower level just sit there because of rain amounts not seen since 1986, I had a stiff double of Bourye and Mrs. Madhatter had a double bourbon sidecar made with EC12. I think I'll learn more about insurance companies than I've ever wanted to. WML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 OBSK 8 year 9 month. I'm a bit disappointed in this one. I have a 10 year OESF that is one of my favorite pours and a 9year+ OESK that is also incredible. This one is good, but I would rather have the 100 proof OBSV.

That's too bad because the FRSB BPs aren't cheap. OBSK and OESK are usually among my favorites. I am not sure I have seen an OBSK that young. You are early into the bottle. If it doesn't improve, you can always blend it with the standard SB OBSV. I have done that before with FRSB BPs that seemed to be a little off on their own. You end up with a higher proof small batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemosabe Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Started with EC18 tonight - keep hoping the bottle would improve after a few months - but its still not that great. I wouldn't buy another even though I'm a big EC12 fan. Finish on the 18 is just not doing it for me. Moved on to CEHTSmB - always tastes great. Love this stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you find the OBSK ? Everything around town lately has been "F" yeast and well....I'm getting a little tired of it. I generally really like OBSK. Air and time definitely make 4R better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
