Mako254 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Going to have to pick up another bottle out of this barrel before it is gone. Rec’d the book as well for anyone that enjoys crime fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTTS88 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Finished this guy off last night, a deeply concerning event. However as luck would have it, I kept a spare on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Off work today, so "cleaning up" the house a bit. Specifically the liquor shelf. The gin, my wife polished off last weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTTS88 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Thus far Jefferson's has been a difficult brand for me to figure out. Not offensive but not entirely interesting or enjoyable. The smallbatch being an 82-something-proof isn't particularly potent. It's definitely a sweater drink, almost so much so that it was difficult for me to drink it at times. I finished it off and think I'd look for one of their older expressions to revisit the brand. Not necessarily a bad, but certainly not my fondest farewell to you, Jefferson's.

Your life will be easier and happier for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 This was a good barrel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Another one down. I find myself reaching for this bottle the most often when one is opened. Not sure if it is because I have easy access for replacement or I just want the others to last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Finished off this Barrell bourbon batch 009. Tasty stuff; glad I have more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Helped a local store clean up their tasting bar last night with 2 pours of this. I haven't felt this kind of love (lust?) for a bourbon in a long time. This is the kinda bourbon that makes you want to cheat on all your other bourbons... This is the kinda bourbon that makes me forget about my love affair with rye... Pappy can take all his bottles and go away. I'll take this any day ! You wanna add water or Ice? Your not my friend, and I'm taking your glass away. 2017 WLW, btw Edited June 23, 2018 by 0895 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Knocked two more bottles out of the cabinet this weekend. A 4RSB OBSQ and Old Forester Statesman will be finding their way to the green bin in the morning. For whatever reason, the Statesman has really grown on me and is something I want more and more. Now I need to BUY more and more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTTS88 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 A standard BT and some good ol' OGD 114. My first bottle of OGD 114 and not disappointed I have 2 more of it. That had to be one of the best values I've yet to taste. I only wish I'd discovered it when I first started drinking bourbon. Thankfully I did find WT101 when I turned 21.

0895 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) I actually could use some support on this one, as it disappeared before it even had a semi-permanent place on my shelf. Built on a base of 95% rye, with some 51% rye blended in, this bottle is dangerously easy to drink @ 112.6p. Upfront, the typical mgp dill & black pepper blast, followed by tobacco & faint caramel, that finishes slightly sweet (in a good way). It's like two different ryes got married & are having crazy good sex in your mouth. If you like the mgp rye taste profile, this is the bottle you've been missing! I'll be picking up a replacement (or two) shortly. Edited June 27, 2018 by 0895 Yes, I actually did finish this @ 10am. Its that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
