kemosabe Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Had a tasting the other night at a pal's place. The main takeaway = there's a big difference between good bourbon & bad bourbon. My favorite was the 4R OESK, worst tasting was the JR Ewing. Nothing like using a bucket of KFC to cleanse the palate. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's calling all the others bad . . . it's time for an intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$helby Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm a long suffering Redskins fanand just can't pull for either team but do indeed hope it's an entertaining game and comes down to the final few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Side by side of Batch 12 and B517 (should’ve waited to do it blind, but the future Misses is gone and work was a bear today). I must say, these are incredibly similar (I suppose they should be since they’re based on the same formula). I can’t pick a favorite, but I can say I’m glad I have both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeko Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 IMO a big difference. I like the regular single barrel, but the PS OBSV's I've had have been substantially better.You're probably right.. I might just buy some for research purposes lol Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you feel like you could pick them out in a blind tasting? Do you notice the 6% difference in ABV? I've got a bottle of Batch #10 and some B517, I may have to do this SBS myself.

silverc Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 EC18 (barrel 4192) distilled 11/18/1997. As expected, it's an oak bomb....even oakier than the last EC18 I had. Still good, but not amazing, and I like oak bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to get my hands on an older ECBP bottle like this one for comparison! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Enjoying a nice pour of some GBS EC SB. While not to be confused with the inaugural GBS EC picks, this is a damn nice bourbon. And while it needs no water - a few drops really brings some lovely salted caramel with toffee notes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on topic - had some HHBiB6 followed by a ECBP #11 (139.4pf) last night at Pappy's Whiskey Den. Both hit different, but right, spots last night. Taking a bottle of ECBP B517 down to Brooklyn tomorrow to help celebrate granddaughter #1's 6th birthday party. Good golly, life is good!
