silverc Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Cracked open a KCSB store select (15 yr Jeff Prewitt Barrel 4018 from Old Town Liquors in Louisville). It's the most oily, mouth coating KCSB I've had and it's really nice. Long finish, lots of oak of course, but well balanced with baking spices, pepper, and some citrus. I wish I had bought a second bottle of this. Can't wait to see how it opens with some air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am enjoy a few solid pours but nothing like you are enjoying. Experimenting with KC blends - Bourbon/Rye. All are very nice but not on the order of FR PS OESK.

HoustonNit Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Really glad I took another pour of this one it's fantastic a EC SB selection, 10yr. Whipped it out while packing away some filets I found on special.Afterwards had a small pour of a barrel of HMcK10 I really liked but preferred the EC. Doubtful but will try to get another bottle of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Got a wild hair and started with some Baby Saz. I don't go rye very often. It was so so tonight. Palate just not into it I guess. Switched up to JDSiB Barrel Proof. Now we're talking. Fantastic. Forgot how good this was. Finishing with a WFE 11yr from Hi-Time from a few years ago. It's a night of oddities.

CardsandBourbon Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 After my delicious dinner last night my son and I opened the two PS from John O's we picked up on Friday. Started with his WR which he enjoyed more than I did. Nosed and tasted some mint up front with a dry baking spice finish. He really enjoyed it but I thought the finish was a bit flat (he likes spicier pours). Moved on to my KC SiB 13+y.o. Not quite as good as the now famous barrel #3094 but still very good. Little bit more fruit up front and slightly more oakey than my other PS bottles of KC. Probably going to have to go back and pick up another bottle for the bunker, especially since they had it for $41.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I went to a BBQ competition this past Saturday. A buddy that is part of our local bourbon cigar group had a team competing, so a few of us went to show our support. After the judging, one of their competitors noticed my BT shirt, and asked if I wanted to try something. Who am I to turn down free booze? It turns out they had a bottle of Bennett Mill Bourbon from the Fox Valley Distillery in Geneva Illinois. I was skeptical, but graciously had a pour. I was surprised. Being from a craft distillery, I knew it had to be young, but it actually wasn't too bad. It tasted a heckuva lot better than most craft bourbons I've had. Saturday night I decided on a pour of ER. My son looked at the bottle and asked if I had it bottled especially for me. I said no and asked him why. The third picture below says it all. FWIW, our friend Hank's team did well. They took 1st place in chicken, 7th in ribs, 15th in brisket, and sadly didn't place in pulled pork. They took 12th place overall out of 42 teams. Not bad. Cheers! Joe Pic#1. Bennett Mill. Sorry, but this is the best pic I could come up with. Pic#2. My bottle of ER Pic#3. The back of my ER bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I wouldn't say I'm enjoying it, but I'm manning up and drinking it. The only 375ml I've ever been thankful wasn't bigger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I have to get up tomorrow (TUES 27JUN2017) at zero dark thirty AM and go get my quarterly haircut. Hence, I am limiting my intake to something spectacular to me - 2 measured oz. of JosAMag Cigar Blend with a very small cube (proof down from 100.7 to about 95) which sat until the ice was melted while the aroma filled the room, making me sort of indifferent to whether the Nats actually beat the Cubs tonight.

Mind if I join you? Truly a very special pour indeed. Drinks like a sweet rye to me, with complexity and spice that's off the charts. All the magnus juice has been great for me.
