gurgalunas Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 46 minutes ago, Harry in WashDC said: B-F JD has licensed a company near it to chip used barrels and sell them under the JD logo for adding smoke when grilling. It is maple rather than hickory so it does have its own flavor. A two pound bag, in my experience, may last years. EDIT - Oh yeah - the thread subject. I haven't had anything tonight. Yet. Think I'll open my KC 25th. Chips don't smoke as well as chunks. Too fast of a burn, less smoldering fire gives a harsher taste. Bigger pieces burn slower, and if you do it right, can get yo almost a clear smoke- that's what you want... the barrels I've bought at Menards have all been JD, bte. back to topic, drinking some DN1843 I bought in IL last weekend. Not bad stuff... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob_Loblaw Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Love the smoker. Lately into making pastrami. Its a legit 2 week process but the missus says its the best thing I’ve made. Amazing how fast 10 lbs goes. Pic is half the batch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering about the proof. It depends if you are used to barrel or not. Sipping it with tiny sips and you're good, of course water helps, this one can handle water, no problem. it can't be smooth at that proof, but alcohol is well integrated. Will.

l364cy Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 10 Year, 9 Month OBSK arrived today. My first 4R BP, very impressed. This bottle makes my (not very good) sniffer and tongue sit up and pay attention. For a high(er) rye bourbon and a 120 proof, my wife also likes it, surprisingly. I may have to bunker a couple bottles of this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCWoody Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Having my first pour of the new WRMC Batch Proof. I know this isn’t saying a lot but this is probably the best of the series. The only other 2 I liked were Sweetmash and Seasoned Oak. It’s a little hot but nothing off putting, at the end it has a little WR Double Oak flavor. I will buy another if I come across one.

Will.I am used to barrel proofs. The highest ones I've had are probably Stagg Jr at 65 and Jack Daniel's barrel proof at 67. I enjoy both. I've never cracked the 70 mark. One day I'll score one....
