When I drink, my eyes get bloodshot, which tightens that damn scléral buckel. No wonder I'm always banging into things on my right after too many cocktails!

Jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese then wrapped with bacon. They’re an absolute hit at any cookout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my local and I'm truly surprised they still have any of that stuff left...granted the shelf is getting low. I have tried it. Really interesting finish. Your thoughts? What's even more cool is that TWCP is your local. They always seem to have good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Thanks to the generosity of a fellow Sb'r I'm having a small pour of ECBP B517. This seems to have ramped the flavors back up toward batch 12 levels but without the burn. This is tasty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSkyDrams Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Celebrated the birth of my new son with a heavy pour of NAS Noah's Mill the other night. I had never tried that label before, and had been on the fence buying it for a long time once it showed up in my local stores because of some mixed reviews online, but I really enjoyed it. Had a nice funky complexity to the palate that I shall attempt to thoroughly untangle when I undoubtedly revisit later this week, and may pick up another bottle from this batch, since its still on the shelf at my favorite LS.

Masset1982 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Tried some Master’s Keep 17yo today, it would be great at 101 Proof. Feels watered down and really thin. Too bag, the nose was writing checks than the palate can’t cash ( hoping that I’ve used this expression in the right way, lol), the Decades is much better. Cheers! Will.

I think I bought 3 bottles. TWCP's store picks are almost always good to me. It's a great store. They have all sorts of neat stuff in there.

PaulO Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 This WTRB 116.8 is in my wheelhouse. Cinnamon candy finish goes on and on. I'm glad I got a back up bottle too. A grocery store had a two day sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for the heads up though Now i'm drinking some '15 GTS, a whole other story. Cheers! Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcdguy Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) HHBBB6. Just got back from Kentucky. Never had it before.All the hype from you guys. WOW! It's fantastic!! Paid 11 dollars. This will likely become my all time favorite low priced bourbon. My wife even likes it. Thanks to all who suggested it!

Bob_Loblaw Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Topped off my GW4G bottle again with more WSR. Think I found the sweet spot. Unfortunately no idea on ratio. Next time will try lcpfratn's 3:2 ratio as a starting point. That will probably be right on. On another note i know there is a Stagg Jr/old charter blend. Has anyone done Stagg Jr with WSR?
