CardsandBourbon Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Headed to Cunninghams Creekside after watching my Cardinal's ( U of L) sweep Notre Dame in baseball. Enjoyed a nice fish sandwich with a pour of KC. Limited bourbon list but great fish. At an engagement party for a friends son had some 4R SiB. Probably have something else later, just haven't decided what yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I am here to tell you that FRYL out of the freezer is a good thing. A very good thing. Love how "thick" it is when pouring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done others in the fridge which is also good - OGDBIB, HH6 BIB, and Beam Bonded. A barrel proof bourbon would probably get cloudy and have some flock floating around since most of those aren't chill filtered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeko Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Interesting. So those bourbons that have been chill filtered are okay to put in? I can assume that it would taste refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assume that it would taste refreshing. They are all OK to put in, it's just that the non chill filtered bourbons will have certain oils within them bind together. It's only an appearance issue. It's why certain brands are chill filtered. The producers are concerned that customers will see their bourbon getting cloudy when it has ice in it and think that something is wrong with it. It's perfectly fine to drink though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the explanation. It's mainly an appearance issue and maybe consistency issue too. Almost like when you put in yogurt in the freezer. I might try it out once with a small sample, just to see what it's like. Especially if Eddie Russell does it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, the balance of oak, rye spice and vanilla on this bourbon is so well done. One hell of a dram, this stuff is liquid gold, enjoy! Will.

silverc Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 OWA 107 Stafford pick. It's got the orange marmalade I typically get with BT products, but with a nice sweetness from the wheat. Tastes like it is NCF too, although I am not certain. Normally I am not too fond of OWA, but this one is not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
