0895 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Tried the new Baby Book yesterday. Decent stuff, but I feel like it’s overpriced for what you get. Basically tastes like barrel strength rye, that someone dumped Bookers or another strong “beam profile” bourbon into. The characteristic beam nutty corn taste powers through the rye on this one. im not sure if the beam bourbon is ruining the rye, or if the rye is improving the bourbon, but I probably won’t lose sleep over tasting this ever again. Its fine, arguably good, if beam is your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masset1982 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I can’t get enough of that stuff, the price is really bad, but man, the juice is amazing. I have two more coming in soon and I’m negotiating for two more. Cheers! Will. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't found one in over a year. Even the regular CEHT are being treated like allocated stuff now. Crazy. Another sign the boom is on the upswing, and hasn't plateaued yet.

PaulO Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Lots of good stuff happened this week, then I got to bar tend at my church's festival - a grand time indeed. I wanted a special pour, so I reached for the pre-fire DSP 31 distilled JW Dant I found at my dad's. It did not disappoint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Came across a 4R SmB LE 2017 and a PH malt at a divey sushi bar of all places. Enjoying both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty tasty alright. I'm not sure I like it as much as OGD114 by itself however. Depends on the mood I'm in because OGD for me has to be something I'm in the mood for. If I'm craving OGD then I'd rather just drink the OGD. But I can see me digging this more often overall however. Glad for the SB community getting me to try this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Tonight it was some ECBP C918 followed by a pour of a SB BT. Both were very good and a nice opening act to Sunday football around the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Started out with OF SiB to finish off that bottle. Now onto EWSiB 2003. This was my entry Bourbon. I still enjoy this whiskey. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I'm feeling the 90ish proofs tonight. So onto 4R SmB. I have a therory. Because the SmB LE is so good and Four Roses uses the same bottle & pretty much the same name for the 90 proof SmB, the 90 proof version gets compared to the LE. Thus, folks overlook the SmB 90 proof. To their loss, IMHO. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the yellow/tan label to the small batch and don't really like that one very much either. I won't ever be a card carrying cult member. The regular single barrel is a decent bourbon and some of the LEs and PS single barrels are stellar but their regular lineup is pretty meh to me.

I'm sort of in the same boat. The SmB is definitely tastier than the yellow/tan label to me, but my true favorite is their SiB. Aside from that, I don't have the same love for 4R as many do. Definitely good, just not a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Does this count? . This really DOES taste like cinnamon toast crunch. But seriously had a pour of my favorite for the final day of NBHM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
