Postal Grunt Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I opened up a 1.75L of WT101 this afternoon. The first pour was much better than I remembered other WT101s. This handle seems to be deeper in flavor and more nuanced, if that's appropriate for a bourbon. Maybe it's just the summer heat here on the Middle Coast that's getting to me. It's a very good deal for the $30 I paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Store pick Four Roses, standard 100 proof OBSV. 7 years 4 months is on the young side for A Four Roses store pick. I think that may be the youngest FRSB I'd seen. What'd ya think of it?

Not the best store pick OBSV I’ve had but solid on all counts. Put a good dent in it last week and have laid off since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 A new bottle of Blanton's got pulled from the bunker tonight. I always try to keep a version of "mash 2" open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz June Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 A Russell's Reserve SiB. Man is this good. I have not had too much bourbon from the Wild Turkey guys, but this makes me think that is an oversight I should correct. How does Kentucky Spirit compare to the RR SiB?

Since they are both single barrels they vary, I have two RR SiB open at the moment and 1 KS, of the three a store pick RR SiB from my local is the clear winner with the KS in 2nd and the other RR SiB from The Wine and Cheese Place a distant third. I will say that off the shelf (non store picks) of both are also pretty great and I tend to buy both on price more than anything and have never had a bad bottle of either (or any WT product for that matter) but I am admittedly a Turkeyhead. Also your handle reminds me of college, is it a reference to the activity or the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there with ya. Sometimes I get carried away, though, as I happen to have one each of ETL, Blantons, RHF, and HPR open right now. I was actually looking at that the other day thinking that seems like overkill. About to empty the ETL, though. But I think that mash is my most palatable, just always hits the spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FacePlant Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Just opened the bottle on the left to share with friends at a tasting we did on Tues night this week.

Ghstudio Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Bought a bottle of woodford American whiskey and cracked it last night. Very impressed with its smoothness....better than many single malt scotches I’ve tried. IMHO, Well worth the $35 price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Love having presents waiting for me after a long Monday! Opened this puppy up, and realized my stuffy head made that a waste of time (or near waste - made some sample bottles up; and was glad to see the synthetic closure!)

Kepler Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Enjoyed my last WT Kentucky Spirit private pick so much, I decided to open a new one (different barrel this time). Yes RRSiB is the better choice for the money normally, but a good KS really holds its own and can be equally satisfying in its own right. And that bottle sure is purty sittin' on the shelf.
