CardsandBourbon Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Last night at a friends watching my Cards get pounded by the Crimson Tide I ended up drowning my sorrows with a pour of RR 6 y.o. rye (an older bottle), and then followed that with a pour of OF 2016 Birthday Bourbon. Tonight while watching Tomorrowland I decided to climb the proof ladder, starting with WTKS, followed by KC SiB #3893 and finished with 1792 SiB FP. The KC was the clear winner.

PaulO Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 WT 101 for me. I knew I was taking my 3 year old son to a family cookout with his 2 year old cousin today. I took the seal off the cap early this afternoon. I wanted it to be all ready when I got home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSkyDrams Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I had a pretty fantastic weekend bourbonwise... Blanton’s and WTRB. Neat on the former, big ice sphere on the later. Both fantastic, in their own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Grunt Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I took time for some Stagg Jr yesterday and an OWA SP this afternoon. I can't complain about the quality of the product that comes out of Frankfort, KY these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUfan99 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It’s been a good bourbon weekend for me too. WTKS, KCSB, EWBIB & coke, EWBIB Kentucky mule and KCSiB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 First pour of the night is regular old Blanton's. Not a bad way to start off. Good to be back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Now moving on to some special samples from a buddy. Comparing some Four Roses single barrel LE's from the good old days: 2012 OESK and 2013 OBSK LE. Although I'm a huge fan of OESK I think tonight I have to go with the 2013 due to the sublime oily mouthfeel. Reminds me of a BTAC in that regard. Great stuff.

0895 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Elijah Craig small batch tonight. Just the shelf NAS version, but this batch is fantastic. None of that nutty taste I sometimes find in HH liquid. I wish I had more of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUfan99 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Loving some black cap OGD BIB this afternoon. Thanks @kevinbrink for the heads up on that. I would have passed it by. I agree it’s better than the current version and my orange cap bottle. However, my orange cap has been in sunlight too much so it’s not a fair comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Ended up smoking some ribs and making a double batch of homemade peanut butter ice cream for a neighborhood get together. Took a few bottles over and we sampled that same KC SiB from a couple of nights ago along with the CS KC Rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDN98 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Just opened my first ever bottle of Very Old Barton Bottled in Bond, and I must say, I am impressed. I have had the regular Very Old Barton before, but wasn't impressed at all. In fact, I though it was horrible. Several people I know kept telling me that I needed to try the Bottled in Bond version if I ever saw it and I finally saw it yesterday and took a flyer because it was so inexpensive. It is so much better than the regular Very Old Barton, that I can't even believe that they are made by the same distiller. I had a negative bias against this bourbon before trying it, and I must say that I am very glad I gave it a chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
