jvd99 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Just now, lcpfratn said: What was the price for the pour...and how is it? $100 for 2oz, not bad considering some other prices on the menu - like $65 for W12. This stuff is really excellent. Pre-fire 94.? ABV. Nose is all vanilla, caramel & oak. Excellent. Palates the same and no bitterness at all on the finish, which is kinda amazing given the age. This is probably the only time I’ll ever see this bottle and 109% satisfied with the purchase. If you like a “smooth” (I know) okey pour, don’t pass this one up if you see it in the wild 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds great, but I doubt I’ll be able to get my hands on a bottle whether I’m willing to spend that much or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthegodfather Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 This is pretty good for $24. Shit it is good for any price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit it is good for any price. ...An opinion shared by many, many here, and elsewhere. Being a single barrel offering, it's likely every bottle won't be stellar; but, my own experience with a couple dozen bottles or so tells me that HH chooses the barrels to use for this brand pretty carefully. I've had a couple that were only good (not fabulous; but good), and many that were very good, along with maybe 8 or 10 that were excellent (from 2-different barrels). Full disclosure: I have tasted from a bottle that was substandard; not one I owned; but, my son's bottle. The key here is to note the barrel number, when tasting a new bottle. If it's great; seek out a few more bottles from that same barrel. If it ain't that swingin'; avoid those numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know how highly you think of the 2015 so 2018 must be a good one. As for me, I'll draw from the famous quote. Whereas Will Rogers never met a man he didn't like, I've never met a Four Roses Limited Edition I didn't like. Ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...amazing they didn't raise the price especially considering the new label added a cork topper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyjd75 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 It is strange how at times Bourbons that you have consistently liked don't have that same flavor for you. tonight (afternoon) Beam's Distiller's Choice, which has been a favorite of mine for the past several months, just isn't getting the job done. Weirdly enough, switched to Lagavulin 16 (my favorite Scotch) and it is fantastic tonight. Strange indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Leading off tonight with Decades. That's a tricky proposition though, because where does one go from there? Who knows, I might stay here on Decades the rest of the night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very nice in it's own right. Can't hang with the decades however. Still, a good one to finish off the night with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 None for me this weekend since I've had a nasty cold. Started in my sinuses and now deep in my chest. Uggh. Anyone have a good hot toddy or other cold remedy recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
