We are at the Hyatt, and have hit a lot of the nearby spots throughout the years. The hotel bar involves much less cold walking this time of year, plus the bourbon selection here is ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Chilly enough that we had to put a fire on in the chiminea while we set up the front yard Christmas decorations tonight. That was nice, but a solid pour of Dekalb Bottle House Select Buffalo Trace made it even better. I’ve ripped through 2 of these bottles already, and this one is going fast. Great pick.

Why are the great ones so difficult to find? I had a generous pour of some EHT Single Barrel myself this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if it was from Brentwood or Town and Country. The other one from TW was great as well. I wasnt surprised that the non store pick (old label) could not keep up with all but one of the store picks. I highly recommend having someone do a blind pour of all yours. Will do. Old label can be hit or miss but mam, when they are good it is special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 A sbs with two OBSQ picks. I absolutely love the Q yeast. Is it my favorite, not necessarily. But it sure is unique. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayouredd Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Single Barrel Shines!!! That is the headline for this bottle of Blanton's dumped on Oct 4th, bottle 275. I can't believe how good this bottle is! The downside is that when it is gone, the headline will be: Blanton's Single Barrel just not as good as back in Oct 2018!!!

fishnbowljoe Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I was really undecided as to where I was going to post this. Well, here's where it's landed. I'm having a nice pour of 2017 WLW this evening for a number of reasons. Reason #1. It's been a helluva long week at work. I deserve it. Reason #2. I received my yearly company Xmas gift/bonus today, and it was better than expected. Reason #3. It's freakin' good! Reason #4. Why not? After all, I am the self proclaimed Weller whore of SB.com. Reason #5. I entered a drawing at a store for their Pappy and BTAC allocation. The luck of the Irish must have been with me. Imagine my surprise when I got the call that my name had been drawn. Even better was the fact that I actually got my choice from the BTAC. (No ER17) Of course I chose the WLW. So I'm celebrating getting a 2018 WLW with a couple of pours of 2017 WLW. "Don't git much better'n that Vern." What can I say? A shout out to Vosgar and Galvin0791. Thanks guys. I had a really great time last night. Dinner was good, the pours afterwards were better, but the company was the best. Biba! Joe 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miller542 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Toasting to my last day at a job I started on 5/10/04, was able to find a bourbon in my stash that started at about the same time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Some HH6 90p tonight while hoping the Blues hold on! I like this one a bit better than BIB. I think I have one more in the bunker. Edit: Blues win in a shutout! This bourbon suddenly tastes better.

Tony Santana Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Rhetoric 20. I've been nursing this bottle for a while. Sometimes i kinda forget about it. It's about half empty now and has a real nice butterscotch thing going on. Don't think it's too woody at all. Anyone have an informed opinion on the subsequent Rhetorics?

It's about half empty now and has a real nice butterscotch thing going on. Don't think it's too woody at all. Anyone have an informed opinion on the subsequent Rhetorics? I've got Rheotric 23 and 24 open right now, and a 25 waiting a couple weeks to be opened. The 23 is pretty good, the oak is starting to take over but it hasn't quite. The 24 I still find enjoyable, but the balance is completely off at this point, it's oak, oak and more oak. I expect the 25 to continue the trend. So maybe 23 was the tipping point, but I find it a rather fascinating lesson in aging. Rhetoric 21/22 were pretty good too, but harder to track down these days. Of the other, reasonably obtained Orphan Barrels, Barterhouse is the sweet spot for me. Lovely dessert notes balanced perfectly with a touch of spice, leather, and plenty of dry oak. One of my favorite whiskies overall. I never had a chance to try Rhetoric 20 but I assume it's extremely similar to Barterhouse.
