BigSkyDrams Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Actually, I didn’t particularly enjoy any of these, but I enjoyed the experience and end result. A friend who’d been traveling, and who knows of my bourbon hobby, gave me a single each of BT, JD, and Woodford Reserve they got on the plane. I don’t particularly like any of these pours, and except for the BT it’s been several months-years since I’ve had any of them... so I decided to do a blind SBS, which I also haven’t done in several months. Good experience connecting my senses to my vocabulary in a conscious way... anyway, I guessed them all correctly, which was satisfying. I put a few drops of water into the BT and WR to somewhat bring the proof closer. Yay me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeko Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 When live gives you lemons, make lemonade. When coworkers give you a bag of oranges, make Mellow Corn screwdrivers. Especially when you have free child labor for juicing the oranges. Haha awesome! I'll need to remember this for when my son gets a bit older. I can't wait for him to start taking over some duties, like mowing the lawn and shoveling the snow lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well!!!! Congrats, my friend; and congrats to the expectant parents ...who actually have done; and will do nearly all the work, while Grandpa toils away at spoiling the new addition (edition?) as much as he's allowed.

BigRich Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 A few pours of Parker’s POH while diving into the latest season of Blacklist on Netflix. After watching James Spader for the last 30 years, Raymond Reddington is tailor made for him. The show is fine and nothing special. But Spader is great to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spader MADE that show. Every scene in which he appeared was HIS alone. The series woulda been canceled after one season if not for him; with him on board, a must see.

Mako254 Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 I did this bottle as a VBT some months back. I have had it off and on and my intial take stands: a not quite mature bourbon that has enough there to enjoy. Cheers to Beam for putting out a 5-6 year old 100 proof NCF offering for less than $20. Finishing up the late games and this holds up well over ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUfan99 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Lots of college football and bourbon today with a little rye too. OE7 101, OGD BIB, JBDC, WTR 101, and RR SiBs. Observations: the ACC is terrible with the exception of Clemson I probably couldn’t distinguish OE7 from OGD BIB blind except for a slight barley note in the OGD No. 11 for Stanford is a man WTR is less spicy than a lot of high rye bourbons the top 25 is a joke until around week 6 110 proof barrel entry bourbon is better than 115 proof barrel entry bourbon Bama with a ultra talented QB should be illegal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the 2nd line only because I have no experience with OE7. Here's to college football Saturdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 4R SmB 2016. Yowza!! I dig this Bourbon. Great viscosity, citrus notes, along with sweet brown sugar. A longgggg finish.

Wedelstaedt Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Okay, I couldn't resist. I have had a couple more pours of this awesome bourbon 2016 4R SmB. But, I want to leave some for later, so....Back to GTS. Nice consolation prize, eh. Okay, I know that was a gloat. Rude. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Killed off a low-fill bottle of Blanton's, followed by a generous pour of WTRB 112+. Both hit the right spots for my taste buddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
