FasterHorses Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 OWA PS.... the 2 PS of the 4 I have obtained this year are not nearly as good as the standard OWA. They are noticeabally hotter and seem younger. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverc Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I've been slowly sipping on a variety of stuff as the day goes on and I am working around the house. After the Lions got clowned by the Bears, I had some Angel's Envy from France 44 (it was pretty meh, but I don't really like AE very much anyway), and now I am enjoying a nice 9yr SAOS single barrel (Barrel 2622 at 103.6 proof) while grilling meat over fire. This is so much better than the AE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 A 14y KC store pick from Wisconsin. The beam profile is there hiding in the background, but the wood really dominates this one. There is also a lot of caramel. Overall its pretty darn good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderKeg Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 A little New Riff BiB from the last Bourbon Pilgtimage, followed by a slightly dusty JBDS. All while watching B5 and Am Loggers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji5] Who’s SWBO? The Bills had a good game but they are the mess. Also as much as I enjoy seeing the Pats lose there still the Pats. I’m sure they’ll make another deep rum this year.

JTaylor Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Tried Blanton's SFTB Friday night... WOW! She packs a punch, flavor-wise that is... So good. Caramel, vanilla, oak, and so much more, creamy mouth feel, exquisite finish... between the proof and no chill filtering this thing makes the 93° stuff taste pretty damn bland in a SBS... The price and shipping make me uncertain if I'd do it again... but was definitely worth it to experience this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Took the wife to a job interview today since I'm off work (thank you veterans!). We stopped for a lunch at a place I had a tip on that they had CYPB. Trying a pour. It's like a really good WSR. A little deeper, more intense, and sweeter flavors. Still prefer OWA and W12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 A quick little SXS (not blind) with two 125 proof single barrel picks. My preference was easily predictable. On one hand I'm pretty lukewarm on 1792. On the other the hand Q yeast is absolutely in my wheelhouse. I then poured some ECBP B517 (124.2 proof) to challenge the OESQ. Now that's a really strong competitor. The 4R inches out a victory. I'll have to do it blind next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foppa78 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I checked back in on a bottle of Booker's 2017-04 Sip Awhile. I absolutely love this stuff. Anything similar to this stuff since i like Booker's so much? I've tried Baker's already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surtur Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I used to really enjoy having a nice, full bunker, looking through it, organizing and taking inventory. Back before OWA became a unicorn of our modern age I used to keep a healthy supply of it, which I have maintained the last 6 years steadily. This past year it has been entirely absent and I was hesitant at first to enjoy one of my favorite every day bourbons, staring at the stash in all its glory. Now I’m down to 4 bottles of various ages and I’m just happy to be enjoying it without a second thought. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Booker's but since KC Single Barrel is half the price it's certainly an obvious choice, a little more age and a little less proof, if you haven't had it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your question, Stagg Jr. and ECPB are comparable to Booker's, IMO, but with somewhat different flavor profiles. If you haven't tried those other two, you should... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that game, a HUGE number of fellow New Englanders were in attendance, it looked worse in person. Hopefully just an aberration, it was a perfect football day weather wise just not a great outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Back with a 3-finger pour of WSR after a bourbon hiatus... and the screw cap fails on me. Hate those metal caps... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Enjoying a new private selection Four Roses Single Barrel that just landed at one of my favorite liquor stores...OBSF. Almost 9yo, so it has a good bit of oak, but bunches of caramel sweetness and herbal spice notes to go with it...good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof_Stack Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 No pics tonight, but I'm slowly sipping on WT Rare Bird, 61%. Lots of oak, but not in a bad way. A little goes a long way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
