Hop Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Opened a bottle of Hancocks today - been eyeing it on the office shelf for a while and said what the heck. Past couple of days I've been sampling a store pick ER10 that is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masset1982 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Had some FR Al Young tonight, pretty impressive, it packs some favors, but smooth in the same time, you feel it's old, oily but not thick. Finish goes on and on! Some fruitiness long after, truly excellent. Now, I need another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You summed it up nicely, I was surprised I didn't get more bitterness from the age of the blend but the finish and flavor is very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 WT13. It's underrated I think. The lower proof gives it a bad name but there's a lot going on besides proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finish is pretty long, keeps evolving, I get a fruity bananas flavor at the end, a very special pour. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this post earlier today and then what did I happen to see at one of my favorite liquor stores? Blaum Bros. Knotter Bourbon 10yr CS. At $78 for a bottle though, I decided to pass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It was $80 at the distillery. But I saw it at a LS not far out of Galena for $70. Considering a Old Scout SB is often $60, if you can even find it, & its the same DNA, I would have paid the extra $10. However, I couldnt afford the $70 at that moment so I passed.

Mako254 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 OWA is so so good. And I'm a 4R high rye type. I have half a fifth and one stashed. Gotta ration it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The Woodinville Whiskey private barrel pick I participated in came in yesterday so I dropped by the store to pick up a few. Very happy to confirm that it's a good as I remember it being. It's a single barrel barrel proof pick that comes in at 120.76 proof (these guys have a low barrel entry proof) that has a full and rich body and flavor. It could be more complex but this is darn good for a 5+ yr old craft bourbon. Cost is $46 which is a refreshing price point for a barrel strength craft bourbon.

I'm almost shocked at that price from a craft distiller. That is certainly not representative of most these days. I'm to the point that I think I may just stop buying any more NDP or craft distillery stuff for a while because the prices have gotten to be ridiculous! Many of my local LS have been telling me about all of the PS barrel picks that they have coming in over the next few months, and I know there will be some good bourbon at great prices, so why bother with the ridiculously priced NDP and craft stuff even though some of it is also very good.

Marekv8 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Playing around with some blends… a 50/50 mix of BH with OGD114 followed by another 50/50 mix of 130 proof Stagg Jr. and a store pick BT. Both better than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting as chocolate was never something I saw mentioned with regard to W12, it never presented in the bottles I had except for the very last one and that was a couple years ago ( I have since given up even thinking about it). That bottle did have a wonderful chocolate note and it was far and away the best W12 I ever had, I miss that bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masset1982 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Had a pour of the Elliot's Select, quIte nice. Now, sipping some HMK 10yo, great sipping whiskey, reminds me to buy a few for the bunker. Cheers! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
