EarthQuake Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Rhetoric 23 tonight. This is very similar to Barterhouse, but unsurprisingly takes the oak even further. This is one of the driest bourbons I've ever had. Sip after sip I'm astonished at how dry this is, and how well it works. This teeters on the edge of being overoaked but doesn't quite get there. There's still a nice bit of sweetness and spice to balance the dry oak and leather. Overall this is great. I'm real curious to see what happens with Rhetoric 24 and 25, if those get further off balance or if they manage to keep it together.

But this still hits the spot. What does the NAS go for in your area? Current it's about $50 for us, I can only imagine how much it would be for the 12 year, if available. Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk I'm guessing you are in Europe or Australia. EC NAS runs around $25 average in my market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeko Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm guessing you are in Europe or Australia. EC NAS runs around $25 average in my market.No, I'm in Canada. You would think the price here would be more reasonable. At least that's what I would want. On that topic, I passed up a ceht bottled in bond for $98. Is it worth that price? I've never seen it before in any store, so when I saw it yesterday I was tempted to buy it. Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Government Beard Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Pour of the Port tonight Positives: - Nice jam flavor and bourbon sweetness throughout the palate. - Actually glad I bunkered a few bottles as 1792 is no longer making this. (For now) - 2 years in a Port wine barrel I believe is the longest stated in the bourbon world. negatives: - a bit thin. And no finish whatsoever which is probably due to the proof. Much better than angels envy and much less than MWND (Rye). Excuse the long winded breakdown. huzzah 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one I hope to run in to at some point (the only variation I'm missing out of the recent lineup). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 A store pick of 4R OESF from a couple years back. I have had nothing but great success with the "F" recipes and it is a great pleasure each and every time I draw a pour from this bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Had some 10 year old Maker's Mark last night. It was fantastic. We all need to pester Maker's until they make an older version of their product available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
