Saul_cooperstein Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Decided to pour couple oz of old Fitz bib from old 60s era decanter. Pretty good. Nutmeg and floral with underripe stone fruit and some soapiness. I’d have been better off with 1oz as the soap flavors are a little overwhelming getting through second half of the pour. Crazy complexity and perhaps just didn’t want to have to contemplate what I was drinking tonight. To bring my palate back poured an oz of WT101 rye.

Vosgar Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Started off the night with some RHF but have since switched to SB HHSS #2 (in an SB Glencairn, of course!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golzee Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Rare Breed 112.8 tonight, not hitting like it usually does for me. Seems a little brash and astringent tonight. I've read good things about the 116.8 batch, so I will be on the lookout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Writer's Tears Copper Pot - an Irish blend of 60% pot stilled barley and 40 % single malt. Walsh Distillery won't be selling their own make until 2023, but this blend is outstanding even @ 80 proof. Don't remember which of you recommended it, but it is/was super. But then - no surprise as it is aged in old bourbon barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobje Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Wild Turkey 101 with tamarind simple syrup and some orange bitters. It’s sort of a Mexican old-fashioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surtur Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Not quite “dusty” but I both found and am enjoying this 86 proof OGD tonight from 2003 I believe. I found 2 bottles at $11 each so I adopted them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it was him back when McGuffin was posting on an Irish whiskey thread I think he (McG) started. BUT, my internet connection crumped, and I had spent two days switching providers, getting new equipment (switched from DSL to cable finally), etc., and was too lazy to do my own research, knowing one of you all would help me out. So, THANKS. Tonight, I'll be back to bourbon - a local store pick of 9+ YO 4R OBSO picked by a picker who likes what I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Writers Tears Copper Pot was creamy and cool - perfect for sipping while watching Hallmark Channel mysteries. I may treat myself to the Redhead. I have been surprised at how much I've liked a whole range of Irish once I got past Bushmills. For some reason, I just never developed a taste for it.

Bourbon Fanatic Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Enjoying a pour of this right now. It's very interesting - this is the first time I've actually gotten a mint note. Loving these four roses! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
