graftonbc1 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Last night I went back to a bottle of barrel proof, store select 1792. It was delicious. I am calling later this morning to see if there are any more on the shelf (limit was 1 when I bought it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is some of the best whiskey ever produced! I would sip that one real slow. Cheers, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Summer's wrapping up, but I keep getting busier... finished the porch ceiling project, and now we're prepping my 95-year-old house for painting, uncovering all kinds of interesting things as we replace trim wood for the first full external painting in at least 25 years. Old-style stucco doesn't need as much painting as the trim wood, but both have been long neglected. Everything must be completely done in time for baby arrival, our first child, due right on Thanksgiving week. Summary of this summer: Larceny on rocks on hot days, Knob Creek regular 9-year on rocks on cooler days, and now that it's started occasionally feeling like fall, I opened up a bottle of OGD114. Also, some WTKS I picked up on my way up to Acadia National Park in Maine, where I spent a week camping with family; the current WTKS isn't much like what it was 15 years ago, but it's not a bad bourbon at all. Over all, all good! Edited August 31, 2017 by Kalessin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourbonDude Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) 4RSB, 52.6%, warehouse RN, barrel 82-1U. Very nice overall; very cherry fruit forward flavor, similar to the maraschino cherry I get in the Jack Daniels Holiday Select that I like. Somewhat quicker finish than the bottles I've had in the past, but then it's been a few years since since I've tried it, and this being a single barrel of course there's more variation. Maybe not quite as stellar as the bottles I've had in the past, but still better than most super premium bourbons in this price range (I paid about $55). Again, quite good for the price. My only quip is that at only slightly higher proof than the WT101, RY10 SB, etc., it was noticeably more spirity on my palate.

Paddy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 ^^^^^Not sure which recipe that is, but whether it's a B or E...the extra 'kick on the palate' is probably due to the higher rye content (in comparison to the others mentioned). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCWoody Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Having a blend of Whoop & Holler and Barrell batch 8b (about 50/50). I didn't like batch 8b as much as batch 8, so I thought I would try this and ( ding ding ding ding) we have a winner. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 A blind sbsbs with 3 previously opened bottles. Also, I've only tried the Blanton SFTB once and the Stagg Jr tree times, so I consider this very unbiased. I ranked them: 1. Blanton's SFTB 2. Stagg Jr 3. EC BP I'll definitely be searching for more sun $50 SJR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECBP usually comes out on top for me...especially the 136 proof batch 12 you have pictured. I think that one is the best of all the ECBPs I've tried. The SJR is no slouch though and a close second.

I've done a side-by-side with this and a bottle from about 2006(?). The older bottle was stunning, the newer is just good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlutz Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I couldn't think of a special reason, but I said F it and went back to see this very special representation of the cult.

lcpfratn Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Enjoying a 4RSB PS OBSV that is just heavenly. I've bunkered several of these already, but I'm going to have to pick up some more of these before they are gone.
