It's been out there for a while, can't tell you exactly when it came out. I guess it's Japan/Europe only release, not the best of their line-up, but it's solid for the price. i'd prefer this one at 101 proof though. Will.

If you can find the Rare Breed, there is no need to chase the 13yo. I’m drinking it bescause it’s available here and not pricey, quite smooth and tasty in the same time. Cheers!

Hopefully, you're not living in Europe, i get it for €38 ($47) , but bourbon is very pricey here. At $35, i'd drink it everyday. What's your go to as daily drinker ?

fishnbowljoe Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 There are times, and then again,there are times. Yet another impromptu sbs this evening. Let me start by saying that a sbs of something 86, 90, or 100 proof is one thing. A barrel proof sbs is a whole 'nother animal. It was a weird Monday at work, so I decided to redo a Stagg Jr sbs. I thought I had a Stagg jr batch #8 open. Wrong! I reckon I must have finished that one, 'cause it's a batch #7 that I have open. Moving on..... Batch #7, 130 proof open, and a recently purchased batch #9 at 131.9 proof open too. I initially did an abbreviated sbs a couple of days ago. My thoughts at that time were that #7 was a little better because it wasn't as hot. Today, things seems slightly different. Batch #9, while maybe just a bit hotter, actually seems to have just a bit more flavor than #7. Batch #7 is a bit more tolerable, but there now seems to be something lacking just a tad. Truth be told, the differences are pretty minute, and really not much to quibble about at all. Both are quite enjoyable. Even though I myself would give a slight nod to batch #9 by the narrowest of margins, there's really no clear cut winner here. Like they say, "It's all good." Biba!

I wish I could have a pour per day....however, my lovely wife gets a little irritated with me if I have a drink more than once during the work week. In fact, her suggestion to me was to give up weeknight drinking for Lent, so I obliged. Thankfully, the weekend is another story. Every Friday night we enjoy Manhattan’s together ???? and then I’ll have a few drams of my good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even reading this site is painful for me right now... Easter Sunday will be glorious! I thought I would start with this: https://www.blantonsbourbonshop.com/shop/blantons-bourbon-truffles-1 And when nightfall hits, i already figured on watching the 10 Commandments again with maybe my last pour of OFBB, Blanton's or the Colonel. Who knows, I gave it up for Lent but the shopping will continue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife loves her sweets so I think I’ll have to buy some of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will, From reading this board for a while, I value your opinion. I have been back-and-forth on buying a bottle of the JD SB Barrel Proof. I have been curious about what to expect from this. Like just about every whiskey drinker on the planet, I know what standard JD tastes like. What do you get for the extra coin with this? Thanks.

Clueby Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 12 hours ago, Charlutz said: Because we spend a lot of thought on these things, there was a discussion thread solely devoted to which abbreviation to use when the new label came out. The conclusion if I remember correctly was to continue using OWA. Both are used interchangeably now and it’s not really a contentious issue. Certainly no need to apologize or edit for using one or the other. Was being a bit tongue in cheek towards that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B&B is really good but for the $ it’s the OC8YR all night long Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I may have to pick up some more OC8 before it disappears. I really like it even though it's only 80 proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
