MTNBourbon Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Enjoying this one tonight. Did someone mention this has more rye than the OS 10 yr., and/or OS 10 yr. single barrel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are using something in house it's a bit different but most places go with more of an it's ready when it's ready approach than first one in first one out. Yeah, I saw the out of sequence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reread this, should have just been the OS 10 yr. The OS Single Barrel, 10 yr. is a notch or two above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Had my first pour of the Old Ezra 7 y.o. BS last night at trivia. I really need to find a bottle of this. Nice legs in the glass, good amount of color, a hot caramel on the front of the tongue and a sweeter finish at the back. Best part, I asked the bartender (owners son who I'm friends with) how much for a pour and he said $8.00. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masset1982 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Back to the Smooth Ambler stuff, so happy to have a back up of this one, pretty stellar to me. Cheers! Will. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm having a couple of small pours of EHT Small Batch this evening. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 OF 1910. I like this bottle more and more with each drink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Enjoying the last pour of my 2017 ER Friends of the Trace single barrel. Not really any better than some of the other bottles of ER I've had, but that still means it's very, very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverc Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Cracked open a sample I got from a friend a while back.... 1978 Early Times. It's amazingly viscous for an 80 proof whiskey, and a bit tannic, but a hell of a lot better than the modern Early Times stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Big job interview tomorrow. Calming the nerves with a little WTRRSiB. Nightcap coming in with OF1910. Wish me luck. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpartan Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I had a small pour of this while watching my Spartans make a nice comeback on the road over a ranked Iowa team. I was getting a lot of banana on the nose out of this one tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got one left and am hanging on to it! It is pretty tasty. Got this dryness to it like a rye, well at least to me. This is my only bottle of it, and I sat on it for probably over 2 years. Drinking some right now. Edited January 26, 2019 by MTNBourbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Tonight's menu: Healthy pour of ECBP A118 when I got home from work. That was followed by a small pour of 1792 SB as a night cap. I will let you all decide which was the better pour this evening. P.S. It isn't a hard decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got one left and am hanging on to it! It was my understanding that the 7's were the high rye (36%) and the 10's were the low rye (21%). I think the single barrels were thought to be more skewed towards teh high rye but they could have been either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
