Saul_cooperstein Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yes the 10. I liked it quite a bit. Don’t know if it was a 2016 or 17 as they had the 15 next to it and had the black top (not the red cap from 2017) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeTen Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Rock Hill Farms. Wasn't drinking anything until the second half of the Pats/Jaguar's game today. Figured I needed something to drown my frustration after the cheap shot to the head took Gronk out of the game. Opened up the RHF and poured two fingers (spread) into a cute little High West shot glass and the rest, as they say, is history. Guess what I'm drinking from the beginning of the Super Bowl in two weeks! Congrats to the Jaguars on their great game - nobody took them seriously and they proved they belonged in the AFC Championship game. Great defense and an offensive game plan that worked to perfection for 50 minutes of the game. They will be a force to be reckoned with next year in the AFC. But once again, age and guile beats youth and speed. GO PATS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlutz Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Spent the day cooking sous vide Korean fried chicken. First time and it turned out pretty good. I’ve had this SAOS SiB open for a year and never really enjoyed it until now. It’s hitting a lot of notes. Maybe it just needed the bold and spicy chicken to really shine? Who knows. It’s not for me to question. I’m just going to savor it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcdguy Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Having an BIB face off tonight. To be honest, these are very much alike. The EW is reported as 5 years and the HH is 6. Both sat out for a half hour or so. Color lighter in the HH. Both nose light, not really smelling the 100 proof on either. I added 2 drops of water to each. The HH tastes lighter, less strong for 100 proof. It is a bit smoother than EW. EW has a bigger flavor, you taste the 100 proof more, and is a tiny bit less smooth than HH. I paid 12 something for EW and 10 for the HH. I give a SLIGHT edge to HH. But for the low price both are really good. Nothing can touch either in this price point. If there is, please let me know! And unless you travel to Kentucky, EW should be your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Really enjoying my one and only bottle of WT13 tonight. Yeah, it's not as good as the 12yr old bottles from days gone by, and it's 91 proof instead of 101, but the unmistakable WT flavors are all there and working well for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Having some more ECBP B517. I'd really like to find some C917 to compare. Wasn't a huge fan of A117 (even though I've still got a couple in the bunker) but really like B517. It's ALMOST up to earlier batches 11 and 12. Still have a couple of each of those in the bunker as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate venturing into LA but I’m pretty fed up with my local bar. They have the 10 year at $65 for a 1.5 oz pour, 12 is something like 80, Birthday bourbon is $60 etc. In fact they buy up everything our bevmo gets, so there’s nothing left for us consumers and they sell it at that price. I do work in LA so before the trek home one day I’ll need to stop. Tonight I’m finishing off a Rittenhouse and having a pour of McCarthy’s single malt. It’s an old bottle from 2008 I found in the back of the cabinet and it is actually quite tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 My son, myself and a couple of other guys did the Angels Envy tour on Saturday. While there we got to taste their regular finished bourbon. I'm not a huge fan of finished bourbons but I also got a chance to taste some CS (around 130 proof) that hadn't gone into a cask for finishing yet. IF Angels Envy ever decides to offer a CS non finished bourbon I'll be one of the first in line to buy a bottle. After the tour we went to one of the guys houses where the ladies were preparing a gourmet meal. It was taking a while to get the food done so we retired to his basement for some sampling. We did AE Rye, an Irish Whiskey (don't remember what brand), Basil Hayden Dark Rye and maybe some others, I'm not sure. While at dinner Sunday afternoon I had a pour of KC Rye.

LCWoody Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm late posting but Saturday night my wife and I went to a Mardi Gras Ball and I snuck some bourbon in. WLW, OFBB '17, and 4R OBSQ. All bottles were freshly opened, and less then 1/2 of each made it out. had a lot of fun sharing the bourbon. It was interesting watching people that are "bourbon drinkers" taste barrel proof bourbon for the first time. The bad part is now I have several people wanting WLW next year..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I can't remember if it's going to be cask strength, I can tell you that they do plan to release an unfinished bourbon. It will be under a different label/brand however as the Angel's Envy name is for only finished products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Looks like@LCwoody and @flathute had a much better weeken whiskey lineup than I did. I did have a nice anniversary dinner with the wife, had a split Bone marrow appetizer and did a shot of BT from the bone, which was nice. Pic for reference, wife took video but no way I post here.
