Bourbonmakesmepoop Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Enjoying a WB liquors private selection of Buffalo Trace (thanks for the tip HoustonNit)... It has a very short finish, but one of the dominant flavors is green tea leaves, I've heard others notice this in bourbons before but I've never picked it out myself. Cheers, and happy bday America!

flahute Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 1 hour ago, BottledInBond said: Chuck C did a blog post about filtration recently, and there was another blog post from a different site that quoted Willie Pratt as saying they had 32 different filters they used. Probably not what purists want to hear but it's nice to get some acknowledgment from them that they do indeed use significant filtering for their older products: http://chuckcowdery.blogspot.com/2015/01/filtration-way-to-improve-whiskey-or.html?m=1 http://whiskeyreviewer.com/2013/12/interview-with-michters-master-distiller-wille-pratt_122013/ Thanks for the links. I had read the Cowdery one in the past but had forgotten about it. I've not seen the other one. The interesting take away from my friend's conversation with Pratt was that they use their filters on younger whiskey as well in order to manipulate the flavor profile.

I will have to bring up a jug from the bunker. Cheers. My kind of game, especially with our bullpen. Roll that score up just in case . . . As you read this (circa 6:50pm ET), I am finishing my bottle of 4R PS OBSO 114.7 proof, 11.5 years. Sorry to see this go. But wait!! Is that another of this selection sitting under the silver chest just out of sight? Why, I think it IS! Such a happy 4th this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Went with the BOM tonight. A little HH6BIBSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Man this is good! I kicked off the evening with the remnants of a bottle of RHF opened last week on the first night in the new home (yes it went quick - don't judge me ) but the HH is giving the RHF a run for its money. Back in KY the end of the week and may be looking for another case to put in reserve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish there was a version that is like 100+ proof with a couple more years. You could try aging it in one of those little do it yourself barrels with some extra BT wheated white dog...

Now officially following your lead with some HHBIB6 out of the refrigerator. Damn......that stuff is amazing cold. First time I've tried this (cold that is) despite all the good things I've heard from you, smokinjoe, and others. This is how I officially drink it from now on.

Decanted into an empty bottle filtering out the broken pieces of cork. Damn good. That's an "Old No. 8" right? I thought the age statement was gone by 92.

I have one that I plan on opening soon. I'd just like to finish off a few open bottles first. Cheers! Joe This bottle is only about 10% gone, so not much air yet. I think its as good as any modern ETL I've had, it seems to have a little more viscosity IMO and maybe just a little richer/sweeter than my last shelf bottle.
