Ooooooh! This is one of my all time faves as well. I'm vicariously enjoying your pour along with ya' son. I can remember the high points and it basically hit's 'em all. Excellent 'celebration' Bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 After reading Bruce's recent post regarding this spirit, I was surprised to be greeted with a sample tasting at my local LS. It's young, yet interesting-- with a super-chewy mouthfeel, liquified delicate Corn Chex delivery and a dignified 100 proof. I have the Southern Amaro (neutral corn spirit vs. grappa base) and South Carolina Agricole from HighWire Distilling-- at least they're trying hard to champion a sense of place over in Charleston. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) It sounds blasphemous, but I'm enjoying a Manhattan with BBS, Dolin vermouth & Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel aged bitters. Edited April 7, 2018 by Skinsfan1311 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannabis Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) I have to say I cracked a newer Old Granddad Bonded last night and it was a spectacular pour. Good rye spiciness but nothing over whelming, good caramel and vanilla and alcohol burn, moderate oakiness. It was shockingly good. I thought quality would drop after Suntory muscled in, but I have to admit I liked it before and I like it even more now. Gonna have to pick up a case so I have some over time. Wish I had gotten a case of HH 6 year and EC12 while I had the chances, but I didn't know better then, didn't think EC12 would leave us and didn't know yet how much I would love the HH6 year. And when you find a cheap bourbon that hits the sweet spot, now I know, buy a case. EDIT: oh man. Just was on the wikipedia for Bourbon and the photo has an EC12 and some OHH it looks like. Oh fond memories. here's the image address: Edited April 7, 2018 by Dannabis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I snagged this one at a liquor store on a golf trip in Myrtle Beach. I think was ~ $50.00. I like it a lot. I should've bought another bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCWoody Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Having a very good glass of Murray Hill Club tonight. This has been a very good bourbon. Its a hell of a talent to blend bourbon that comes from the same distillery and make it taste so much different then others that bottle the same juice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Charter 101. This tastes just like it should be Weller 101. Much better than WSR but just a little short of OWA. I think I'd buy it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try mixing a little into Stagg Jr. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try mixing a little into Stagg Jr. Do you get the similarities to weller or is that just because I filtered mine into an OWA bottle (saw a floater in the OC101)? Either way, I see what you're saying about the caramel..this is not a bad bourbon at all. I like the proof a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masset1982 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I’m really enjoying this, had some Mitchers 10yo before, this one is way better and a third of the price of the M10. Cheers! Will. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Ancient Ancient Age 10 Star 90 proof. I bought this handle some weeks ago for $27. Today, I added sufficient water to take it down to about 60 proof (started early after working outside). I can still taste its parts, AND they all still fit together. Amazing stuff this is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
