lcpfratn Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Had a couple small pours of two of the "bottom shelf" bourbons I picked up recently, OE7 101 and HH6 90. I liked them both the first time I tried them, especially for the price, but wanted to try them SBS tonight. The winner for me...OE7 101. They are both good, and given the price, HH6 90 is an incredible value at roughly half the cost of the OE7 101 in my area.

CardsandBourbon Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Had a bit of ETL last night. Told my son I might just sell everything else I've got and invest it all in Mash Bill #2 LOL! Followed that with some OGD 114. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Found a sealed bottle of the current PH. Good stuff, it doesn't taste like ECBP in my opinion, but I haven't had any since batch 6, so what do I know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I am at one of the best, most genuine whisky bars in Boston. They pour a 2oz ORVW for 13$, and I got the PH for $20. And *everybody* around me is having a Sam Adams... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dango Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Picked up my first barrel proof bourbon today ECBP B517, all I can say in WOW, I love the intense, deeper flavors. Can't wait to try the four roses barrel proofs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government Beard Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Received as a gift from some dear friends. Lowdown is sourced from Kentucky, a blend of 7 and 8 year aged bourbons, and 'finished' in Oregon oak for an undisclosed amount of time. Pretty light. Not bad. Not great. Huzzah. \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacePlant Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Having a mash #1 battle at the local watering hole. The Colonel SiB vs ER. A great duel. No loser here. Might have to switch to Mr Peanut 114 next. Edited November 15, 2017 by FacePlant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by chance I get out that way again, I'll make it a point to try and stop there. I was out there for a week back in 2014 for a family get together. It just so happened to be the week we celebrate our birthdays. My step bother is 4 years older than me, but our birthdays are only three days apart. He's not into bourbon quite as much as I am, but during the week we opened and emptied a bottle of ETL, and managed to do some major damage to a couple of other bottles too. Cheers!

Clueby Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I had some Grandpa Weller's Four Grain from my flask, the a pour of Rare Breed, then a Morton's signature Manhattan tonight. That was the best Manhattan I ever had!! Even came with a chunk of steak in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Cracked open my new handle of FC6 this evening in my hotel room. The nose on this is awesome! It reminds me of cream soda. The taste is almost as good as the nose...definite oakiness, which I expected given how dark it is. It's not as sweet as I expected, but that's probably being masked a bit by the oak flavor coming through. It doesn't drink hot to me at all. In fact, it's hard for me to believe it's 103 proof. Definitely a decent value for the money! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm really enjoying this Rare Breed 116.8. I'm getting some pleasant oak in the nose and cinnamon candy in the finish. It does not drink hot for barrel proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Definitely try it, it's a classy old school bar unknown to the college crowd, actually I'm pretty sure I'm their youngest patron But keep in mind that Bourbon isn't their focus, outside of the LE season there are better places in town for bourbon (i.e., higher prices but far better selection). They always deliver in the Scotch dept though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Well, since I was lucky enough to acquire a replacement in 2017, I poured '16 THH last night without hesitation. WOW that stuff is intense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I also do not find them that similar. Both great in their own right, just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That price is pretty amazing especially considering I saw a lot B advertised in the North end at $74 a pour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTaylor Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Opening day so I stopped at the F.I.L.'s place on the way home from work and had a MM (he keeps a bottle of "the good stuff" in the cupboard for when I stop by) while waiting for my son to come back in from the field. A couple sightings, but no deer down today... Now I'm home having an ECBP B517, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
