HoustonNit Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hmm air time doesn't seem to be helping the HH. Nothing offensive but just kinda flat and nothing going on, I'll need to continue this scientific study another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTaylor Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Had a glass of PVW 23 last night. It was my first Pappy ever so I'm glad I bought it (at retail), but while sitting there drinking it and looking over the stash behind the bar, couldn't help but add up all the bottles I COULD have bought instead... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I've been pretty busy lately, and actually haven't had a pour since last Friday. I'm enjoying the last couple of pours left over from my 2017 Sampler Weller Blend. Gonna have to make this do me for a while. I'm scheduled for my annual physical next Wednesday. Don't want my blood work to be too out of whack. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTen Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) RY10SiB - Barrel #5083257, aged since 09/06. No ethanol on the nose or palate. Wonderful caramel with a hint of chocolate (?). Medium to long luxurious finish with a sweet oaky note. Going back for another two (2) bottles from the same barrel for the bunker tomorrow morning ($54.99 ea. OTD). Where's Billy Idol when I really need him??? Yea! Yankees WHO? Edited October 24, 2017 by GeeTen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Decided on a pour of good stuff to start the night so I went with a 16 ORVW and found it a little hot but then again I've been drinking OC8yr at 80 proof and Blanton's at 93 recently so that was likely the cause. I bought a bottle of WA107 today because it was there and decided to open one I already had which was a 1.75 store pick from Bob's Liquors in Knoxville just to compare the two since the proof is same but the age is different. Have to say on this particular night I'm preferring the WA107 to the ORVW. The store pick is definitely younger and has a bit of a rougher "edge" but there are also more flavors there, fruit, spices and the oak isn't overpowering then in the same way as the ORVW.

It’s good... not $289 good IMHO... but the experience was worth it. As I became deeply entrenched in this hobby, the obsession with getting my hands on a PVW got worse as the years went by. Never bad enough to justify paying secondary price, retail is bad enough! I feel I’ve satisfied that itch and can now move on... To BTAC!!! don’t get me wrong, I’d definitely pick up a 20 or 15 or Lot B if afforded the chance, but the magic is gone and with it the obsession. Rapidly approaching bourbon Zen!

Patrick_OKC Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Started with some Dickel 12, followed by some WT101. The Dickel is hitting on all notes. The WT, when following Dickel, always gives me some sassafras, or root beer, flavors. It's all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 1974 Beam. 4 years old. 1 of 2 Bottles. Oldest Bourbon I've had the pleasure of tasting. It was quite good even though it had been opened some time ago. More character than I expected, very smooth. Not versed in all the descriptors, but I thought it was a solid bourbon, not very complex. Been a while since Ive had a modern Beam so I can't say how it compares. The 1982 Ten High in the background was an unopened bottle and it was very dull, could hardly tell it was bourbon at all. Both were 80 proof and 4 years old. She gifted both bottles to me afterwords and still has an unopened version of both at her house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I had the future misses pour a blind side by side with these two. I couldn’t pick out any differences. The 116.8 has been open for 4+ months and is almost gone. The 112.8 was opened tonight. I was hoping I wouldn’t like the 112.8 more since it’s not as easy to find. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
