Masset1982 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Trying to organize the cabinet, the wife gave away to me half of cabinet for me to stock my bottles. Thank Sweetie ( doesn’t matter she’s not reading it anyway) but it’s nice from here. It was not easy, need some arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of solid stuff I think I'll help you make some shelf room starting with that bottom shelf!Curious for a guy in Europe and one who appears to like full proof pours why no Blanton's SFTB? People in the US go nuts for it and it's relatively easy to find there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare I say, better then SFTB? Extremely nuanced, massively delicate. A real treasure.

Curious for a guy in Europe and one who appears to like full proof pours why no Blanton's SFTB? People in the US go nuts for it and it's relatively easy to find there. The SFTB is pretty great, need to buy another, but i'm gonna finish the Gold first which pretty nice too. Like you said, it's easy to find here, my only liquor store has them, €69 a bottle. it's mostly because it's available that i don't feel the urge to stock up on this one. Thx for the proposition about clearing the bottom shelf, could need some help though ;-). If you want, when you'll come to Europe next year, we could trade one or two bottles available in Europe against some store picks from the US which are easy to find for you ??

Extremely nuanced, massively delicate. A real treasure. Thx! Both are delicious, when my Gold is empty, i'll buy a SFTB next. If I have to compare them, the Gold is less hot, cheaper. The SFTB needs oxidation to shine, it has more depth than the Gold. Both are great products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very logical explanation for no SFTB. We'll have to discuss, trades in private. Only thing I can think of something you'd probably not be interesting in giving up like Wild Turkey 8.

paradoxical3 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Go easy on me, I am still lacking many "big name" bourbons like the Papys and BTAC other than WLW. But I drink all of my bourbons (probably more often than I should). My tastes should be easy to discern from this collection. Yes, I am a MGP and Buffalo Trace whore. I strongly prefer barrel proofs to anything else....but CEHT BIB's are pretty good too. 2x Micthers Toasted Rye 1x Angels Envy (worst bourbon I own, IMHO) 1x Makers cask strength 1x 120 proof 4rsb store pick 1x 100 proof 4r store pick 1x 13yr store pick knob creek 1x ecbp 1x SAOS 10yr 121 proof (in the old grand dad bottle) 3x SAOS single barrel 118 proof 1x SAOS single barrel 108 proof 2x SAOS Ten 100 proof (low rye) 1x OKI Single Barrel 120 Proof (same juice as SAOS) 1x William Larue Weller 1x CEHT Barrel Proof 2x CEHT Single Barrel 4x CEHT Small Batch 1x CEHT Straight Rye 1x SAOS American Whiskey (2nd worst pour I own) 3x WFE 3yr Rye 2x Old Forester Statesman 2x Stagg Jr 1x Weller SR 1.75l 1x Henry McKenna BIB 1x OF1920 Prohibition (amazing) 1x McKenzie (finger lakes) 1x EC12 1x Russel Reserve 1x 1792 Full Proof 1x Jim Beam Distiller's Masterpiece Sherry Cask Finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
