Well worth the $23/liter, considering OF100p is about that much (or a little more) for a 750ml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyfish Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 May not be the place to post because of that word "enjoying" in the title. Still, a while back I gave my first impression of Basil Hayden 2 X 2. Violated my rule about not jumping to conclusions until I have sampled at least a half bottle. Well, am now down to 1/4 left. Bottom line: I still don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeko Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I had such a bad day at work, I'm so glad that tomorrow is Friday! Plus I have all next week off. Score! I decided to get a big pour of one of my favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeko Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Had a Bulleit at dinner last week. Never had it neat, only in cocktails and it was part of a bundle with a burger and beer happy hour special. It was fine as I expected it would be but nothing I would seek out for home consumption. The place had a nice selection and quite a few patrons were tasting around the menu which was nice to see. The couple next to me ordered a Bib And Tucker the gentleman actually asked for it, not as a pick off the menu. I wonder what his impressions were? We left before It arrived as the concert was starting soon.I agree. It's an okay bourbon, I prefer BT for the same price. I actually bought this bourbon a few years ago for a house warming party and ended up drinking most of the bottle. To this day I haven't had a drop of it. Everytime I see it I remember how I felt the next day :/Although I wouldn't mind trying the 10 years. Don't know if it's worth getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejmharris Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Had a pour of some old label WT Rye and an OKI TPS selection. Both fantastic with this cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourserker Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 A little plain old BT tonight after starting off with some tequila, which is not a normal pour for me. The BT after the tequila is tasting particularly good for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFan Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) The wife and I ate at a seafood joint in DC on the Anacostia River across the street from the 1st base entrance to Nats Park called The Salt Line Restaurant. https://www.thesaltline.com/ They had quite the selection of bourbons including the full array of PVW - 10, 12, 15, 20, 23 yo. Prices for a pour of Pappy ranged from $20 to $130. I had the 15yo for $50. It was my first Pappy and I've been wanting to scratch that itch for the longest time. It was very good but I'm not certain it was worth $50. Edited August 25, 2018 by DCFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grilling burgers in awhile so I was holding off pouring anything. BUT, Nats @ Mets is a pitching duel. Hence, OGD BIB (of COURSE! There's a TV in front of me!) poured over some mostly melted cubes left over from a GatorAde I had earlier. YUM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I likely would have tried the PVW15 as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbt Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Spent all day outside in the 100 degree heat. Just moved into new house and previous owners let the place go as soon as the contract was signed (they leased back for a month plus.) But it's amazing what you can get done outside when your MIL is inside! Cleaned the outdoor kitchen top to bottom, as well as the outdoor storage containers, moved flower pots around, etc. Then I collapsed in the pool that I've dubbed Barton Springs - because it doesn't look clean at all even when it is somewhat (needs replastering at some point as it has lots of iron stains, and also it it surrounded by a bunch of trees that discard junk into it), but if you think of it as a natural spring pool like Barton Springs in Austin, it doesn't feel quite so dirty. And then on the other end, the previous owners were named Barton, and they were dirty and disgusting people (I spent 3 hours picking up dog crap EVERYWHERE on the property, including sidewalks, patios, pool decking, etc), so that's fitting also. Grilling chicken later, but for now just sitting with some EC. I usually grill with BT #2 so I see ETL in my future for that. Prost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
