You aren’t the first person to note that about 1792 but it also isn’t widespread (as far as I know) unlike some of the Old Fos where a lot of people taste bananas of some kind.

Nice pretty sure one of the other NJ guys has a bottle of that pick but could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different people have completely different palates and get different notes from the same spirit. Cheers! No, I get some banana flavor in most of the Barton bourbons. Not so much with sweet wheat, port finish & high rye. But the single barrels, small batch, BiB, 225th, full proof, and very old barton definitely have it. It's more like banana laffy taffy, or now and laters (banana candy) tasting to me, vs. real bananas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be trying my first four roses single barrel too on my birthday this weekend. It's an obsv as well.

I definitely get bananas on the nose and a terrible finish with both Barton products and Old Forester products. It’s Barton Funk.FYI, Non related discussion if John Goodman and John Turturro had a love child they’d probably look like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortre Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I brought home some RRSiB for $43.50 today. That is WAY cheaper than I'm used to seeing it around here.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullseye Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I picked up some Beam Distiller’s Cut and a bottle of OF SiB PS. I tried both this evening. The Distiller’s Cut has a nice presentation. I’m not so impressed with the first taste. I’ll withhold judgment for now. I hope that a bit of oxidation will help. Tomorrow I’ll know more... The OF SiB PS is great from the start. It is firing on all cylinders. The biggest impact is the texture. It feels so good to swirl in the mouth. The finish is long. I’m planning to get more, without hesitation.

LongGone Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Bookers 2016-01 (Bluegrass) and 2016.03 (Toogie's Invitation). Looking forward to getting into one of these over the weekend although I expect them to be very good and similar to most of the batches I've tried.

Masset1982 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Bought a 11yo SAOS Single Barrel CS. Can’t have to much of those. I’ll post the picture when I’ll get the bottle in a week or so. Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great - "A" horsey, bunker getting low, maybe slow up my consumption of the Gold????? Nah. Nice Gee. I wish Blanton's was that price in my area. Around here you'd have to add anywhere from $10.00-$25.00, and then top it off with our wonderful Illinois taxes. Also and FWIW, it looks like the price for Blanton's in your area actually went down $1.00 since 2014. I was out in your area visiting my step brother back in the summer of 2014. He bought me a bottle of Blanton's for my birthday. It was $47.99. I know because I bought another one to bring home with me 'cause we finished the one he bought me during the week we were there. My step brother's birthday is three days before mine. (FWIW, he's older by 4 years.) I'd bought him a bottle of ETL for his birthday. We finished that one too. Needless to say we had a pretty fun week. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
