PaulO Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Someone on this site had posted that the new batch of EW BIB is really good. I just opened one, and I agree. This is much better than the batch I tried when it was still relatively new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfletchgu Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Starting off with some Blantons followed by Stagg Jr. The Blantons has been good, but kinda "meh" until tonight. For some reason it was really hitting the spot. Its crazy to me how a palate can change from day to day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad-proof Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Blanton's Straight from the Barrel, 128-ish proof. Because Monday can be a celebration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older bottle was good but the new batch was much better. The new batch has a faux tax strip over the screw cap to identify. Otherwise bottle and label are identical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good to hear and promising. I feel like this about some other baseline expressions. For instance I prefer the current bottling of WT101 over what was available in say 2010 up to 1-2 years ago. Do prefer those old cooler Austin Nicols bottle designs but not the contents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I REALLY need to find some more store pick RR bottles. These are definitely better than the old label RR SiB I have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got good news for you I have a bottle from that barrel myself and it is good, but it is probably comes in 3rd of the three I have open. RR SiB are a thing of beauty happy hunting.

Mako254 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 This was a real treat. 1955 Johnny Walker black. Tasted like smoked tequila. In other news, I still don’t like scotch. At all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Sorry two posts in a row not bourbon. A fellow local SBer shared the following rum samples with me, Grander 12yr a barrel pick he got in Kentucky and FourSquare Premise and 2004. This should be interesting. Threw in a Jim Beam Black for a control sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
