Richnimrod Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I had a couple pours from a vatting I made up of about 65% WTRB 116+ and 35% 6-year VOB BIB. It's pretty damned good, if I say so myself. Then again, it should be as both components are good Bourbon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 A little snort of OFBB2017 at work from a friend. Very nice bourbon. Not $100+ wait in line for five hours nice but to each their own.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_OKC Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Began with a bit of Dickel 12, and then decided to finally open the bottle of BMH small batch that I bought a few years ago. Naturally the cork broke upon opening. Ha. I still enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpiz Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Another hot day in the Bay Area. I’m enjoying some RRSiB store pick with a cube of ice tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_OKC Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Ended the evening with WFE Single Barrel, 8 years old. Bought it when Spec's opened their first DFW store a few years ago, but only opened it tonight. 121.6 proof, and running a bit hot so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Government Beard Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It was 103 degrees here in San Diego today. Enough is enough. Mother nature is on my Sh*t list. Well. Anyways. I picked up some more OGD today, among other things, so decided for a pour of 114 off the shelf. I've had this bottles open for a while. The high rye mash bill spice is still there. The air has helped tame the heat, obviously. Very nice. Huzzah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 KCSB from a grocery store; each barrel is a little different. They've all been good. This one surprises me how easy it drinks for high proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshleffar Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Some Henry mckenna 10 single with a cube during the heat, some eagle rare 10 while cooking and now that the family is in bed going in for a stagg jr with a cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. I usually add about 2 to 3 drops of water with mine. I have about 4 bottles in the bunker and once i get down to one or so I will pick up a few more. Pretty prevalent on the shelves here in Southern CA. 18 minutes ago, HoustonNit said: Thought it was always 72 and sunny in San Diego? Guess I need to pick another city when I hit the mega bucks.

I bought too many because I'd never seen (or tried) it before and got excited when I found a case of them... It's really good stuff, but I think my money could have been spent wiser elsewhere. I think it was the novelty of being able to purchase all of those W12 that made me do it (plus I was afraid I'd never find it again). Still never tried OWA though, can't find it anywhere on the shelves in AZ. Cheers! Jordan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I am in AZ I will have to make the rounds. its on the shelf, still, from time to time but secondary (liquor stores) and the prices have been terribly jacked. I am down to one bottle myself (12 year). I have plenty of OWA close by and they are usually on the shelf locally between 29.99 to 39.99. If we can strike a bargain let me know. huzzah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Opened my bottle of Hancock's President's Select I recently picked up. It's BT mash bill #2 so of course I enjoyed it. Followed that with a pour of OGD 114. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
