Just never wrapped my taste buds around it. Loads better than the “Repeal” bottle in the background though. Just not much of a Beam fan I guess. Agree. Bought a bottle on sale, had one pour, and gave it away. Not in my wheelhouse... For Beam products, I've only enjoyed 12+ yr KC Picks, Bakers when it's the best at the bar, and Bookers on the rare occasion when a younger change-of-pace drink hits the spot. BH has its place when an 80 proofed is needed... Sorry if my tastes dont match others, but I lean more toward BT products, HH, and 4R stuff. Beam, Makers, and younger WT dont do it for me. RR10 and WTKS work, but not the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Polished off a bottle of Stagg Jr. this evening. I really enjoyed this batch and can't remember/keep up with which batch this one was. Either way, I am happy I have extras downstairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 WT Decades hits the trash bin. This was my second Decades to kill and it's a good feeling when you have enough of one of your favorites that you don't even have to worry about running out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp55 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Finished this one off last night. I like it. The standard Bulleit bourbon, I find rather meh. And, I don't really care much for the standard Bulleit rye, either. But, I got a taste of the Bulleit Barrel Strength at a whiskey festival a few months ago and liked it enough to buy a bottle. It has grown on me as the bottle level has gone down. I've already picked up a replacement bottle. Solid, classic bourbon flavors and enjoyable to drink over a big rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Finished the last pour of some Four Roses Smble from 2017 watching the Colts squeeze one out this evening. I have been working on this bottle each Sunday during the current winning streak. I fear what will happen next week now that I am out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioyada Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 My last bottle of batch 8. I now wish I had at least one more in the stash, but alas it is not so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Not sad to see this one go. I’m a Beam guy and a KC SB guy but this was probably my least favorite barrel of KC ever. At only 10 years, this had more wood than much older bottles I’ve had and I didn’t care for it. Also had some of that peanut flavor people complain about with Beam which I normally don’t pick up on. It was still drinkable and not bad bourbon but I’d rather take my chances with random barrels than another pick from them.I’ve had a few other barrel picks from the same group in Houston and they’ve all been disappointing. Hate to say it but I think I’m going to avoid any of there picks going forward, just not to my liking. If anyone on here is part of this group please PM me.

fishnbowljoe Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Empty but.... In order to save some space, I added a 750 of EW BIB to a handle I already had open. The Weller SR on the other hand, I finished off tonight. Not to worry though, as I have more in the bunker. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I have a bottle of Buffalo Trace Single Barrel heading to the big green bin in the morning. Great news is I now have space to open a new bottle of something from the bunker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Lost quite a few over the past week, with the WRMC BF going dry in my own personal repeal day celebration today. The WFE 6y (mgp) rye was fine, but oddly I’ll miss the Brandy Woodford the most. I’ve really grown to enjoy this one over the last year. It’s a great winter pour. I only bought it because it was cheap ($65), and I had heard good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeTen Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Emptied yesterday to celebrate Repeal Day - the only TRUE drinking holiday IMHO! Hope I find another some day. Until then, this will be my 2018 Joe's Weller Blend decanter - fitting, no? Edited December 6, 2018 by GeeTen 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first opened it I thought it tasted like an average FRSB store pick, which is fairly high praise since I love Four Roses. Now that it's been open for a while I think it's on par with a good FRSB pick. Pretty nice for $50 and available at most stores.
