Heehee! I know that feeling when you hate a bottle. It seems that the more you drink it, the fuller it gets! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With water I thought it was actually decent. I'm with you on the Larceny. Drinks way too hot for a 92 proofer. I've given it a couple tries and I was not sorry to see the empties hit the recycle bin.

CUfan99 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 This D warehouse pick grew on me slowly. It was hitting the spot while I cooked spaghetti so I decided to drain it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosmith Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 "Big Man, Small Batch". First of the "named batches" and, man, was this good! So much depth and complexity yet so balanced. Not hot like some Booker's batches can be, either. A definite step above the Kentucky Chew that took its place. I guess 7yr 2mo vs. 6yr 4mo does make a difference. Glad I've got one more in the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I've had a plethora (there's one of my favorite words again ) of low, and fairly low fill bottles on my open shelf for a while now. So, I've been in a bottle killing mode lately. Pic #1 is of a few bottles headed to the BBB. I finished off the OWA a while back, but for some reason I just couldn't bring myself to throw it out. A Thanksgiving gift of an OWA from my nephew, Galvin0791, made it easier to part with my empty OWA. Pic #2 is of a few ps bottlings that I have on deck to open. I have a ps ER open now, and as soon as I finish off a couple more semi-low fill bottles, these private selection bottles will be opened to go along side it. As an explanation to some of you newer members, and a reminder to some of you old timers whose memory is as bad as mine, there's been times in the past where I've had themes as to what bottles I have open. Mostly wheaters, mostly BIB's, mostly BT, all odd balls and one offs, etc.. For the most part, I reckon my upcoming theme is gonna be private selections. FWIW, at least one fellow member here has (unknowingly) helped me out a lot with this upcoming endeavor. If any more of ya' want to jump in and help a brother out, just send me a pm. I'd be more than happy to oblige. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golferpimp1 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Not going to miss this one. Was surprised it did not stack up at all to the saos single barrels I absolutely love. I do swear I get a bit of dickel taste out of this one. I won’t be buying another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have "Distilled in Indiana" on the label? MGP also has several different bourbon mash bills. So all their bourbon is not the same recipe.

So all their bourbon is not the same recipe. I have batch 6 open and, I have to say, it's the most unusual bourbon I have ever tasted. First nosing delivers a distinct "Flintstones multi vitamin" smell. I've never had Dickel, but I've read that it has this smell. However, the Belle Meade cask strength reserve states "distilled in Indiana" on the label, so it's not Dickel juice. What's interesting is that the vitamin smell, after the second sniff, transforms into a rich chocolate and fruity smell and the bourbon is quite deep and intense on the palate. Despite its quirks, I'm really enjoying this bottle and am glad I bought two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The bottle I opened to celebrate our anniversary didn't even make it two months. It was good to the last drop. I'm saving my Old Fitz 11yr BIB to celebrate next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp55 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Last pour from this one tonight. This was my first bottle of HPR and I have mixed feelings about it. On its own, it's a quite nice bourbon, with an interesting smell and pleasant flavor. However, it competes with some other, really excellent, BT mash bill #2 bourbons. I would really rather drink RHF, ETL, or Blanton's than HPR. Of course, all of these whiskies have become difficult to find in my neck of the woods. So, if another bottle of HPR were to pop up at a reasonable price, I imagine that it would find it's way home with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
