Charlutz Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I’ve got a bit of BT bourbon cream in my espresso this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 This is far more sedate than expected-- like it had its teeth pulled somewhere between the barrel and bottle. Could also be what it was up against for the evening-- I'll put it first in the batting order next time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very good bourbon but it's attributes were complexity, balance and elegance rather than the 'pow' of flavor you get from the regular SiB, especially a store pic. And really not worth the price tag, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very refined, while some single barrels are rough around the edges. Agreed that it's priced too high, but no regrets on buying one. I'm thoroughly enjoying mine.

Bob_Loblaw Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) Favorite lazy Summer “cocktail” WSR and a dash or two of orange bitters. Easy outdoor drinking while waiting for the smoker temp to stabilize so I can get 4lbs of salmon on. Edited May 6, 2018 by Bob_Loblaw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having some fun about to get caught up on The Americans. So which one did you like most? BTW, what kind of whiskey tumbler is that in the middle? KCSiB. This one was a store pick but the regular is great too. That’s a Waterford rocks glass I got for Christmas from my mother in law. The two on the side are some tasting glasses from my tour of treaty oak distillery from outside Austin, TX. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbrink Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Smoked some chicken earlier and cracked a WTKS that really hit the spot. Followed that up with a small pour of HW American Prairie Reserve which is really one of my favorite sub 100 proof bottles, wish they still made it. poured a 1792 BIB and it wasn't really doing it for me so I added a splash of Full Proof and now it is dialed in really well one of the more enjoyable Barton pours I can remember having.

fishnbowljoe Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I had a small pour of Bib & Tucker when I got home from work this evening. After that, I had small pour of ET BIB. Hmmmmmmm. Both a little different, but both a little similar. I tried a small vatting of the two. Bingo! The sum of the two is better than either part individually. This vatting reminds me quite a bit of Old Forester BIB from back in the day. IMHO, it's pretty darned good. Soooooooo, I combined what I had left of the two bottles. I just hope I'll have some left for the next time our local bourbon and cigar group gets together. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of my favorite barrel proofs along with rare breed. I just skip the small batch one altogether. That waterford looks nice, I'm definitely going to take a look into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeko Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Tonight I've been enjoying some Stagg Jr, wt101 and I think I might finish off with some 1792 fp. There's no rhyme or reason to my choices, I just love the taste lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenient Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) OGD114 for the first time- well it definitely tastes high proof. Other than that I'm not too sure about it honestly. More research is necessary. Edited May 8, 2018 by Lenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 OGD 114 for me too. I had bunkered a few when the scare was it would go away. Good news is I didn't have to go to the store; and I'm glad they're still making it. Tasty high rye bourbon, but you better take it slow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can vat the OGD114 with WSR, 1:1, and have your own "Grandpa Weller's Four Grain" (a summertime favorite!) - YUM! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Lunch bourbon: Rare Breed I really miss the years I worked in France, where wine was an encouraged and essential part of every workplace lunch. In moderation, made the rest of the day much more enjoyable Edited May 8, 2018 by Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
