LCWoody Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 For the past several years I start out the New Year’s eve night with some RR... not a bad bourbon. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3Nut Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Eagle Rare again...this time with Sturgill Simpson on the turntable. Well, his record anyway. He himself would probably get a little dizzy. Happy New Year everyone! TP 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Hanging with the family tonight including my 10 year old niece who is staying with us for the holiday. My kids are grown. Took her to see Mary Poppins and played games. Everyone winding down so I am enjoying a 3:2 pour of WR:OF1920. Proofing out at 102. This is a really nice pour. The WR tames the OF1920 and the OF1920 spices up the WR. The family resemblance makes this a great blend.

JCwhammie Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 First pour of the year may as well be from my favorite distiller of '18. Cheers to a fruitful '19 for you all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Did this tonight a blind SBS of a bunch of different WT bottles, WT101 2018, 2010-2011, 8yr, 12yr and tow RR picks both warehouse F picked about the same time and only a floor apart. I’m thinking I put the results in a different thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNBourbon Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Finally getting to this bottle, probably been sitting on it for 2 years, I think they sell it here now. Nice color, pretty nice sweetness, maybe picking up some black cherries, cinnamon, vanilla. Would buy again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Really enjoyed the WTRR10 but if I’m being honest, this WT101 that I followed it with might be just as good if not a little more depth even. WT is REALLY coming into my wheelhouse lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the K yeast and it has been a while since I found some to purchase. Especially a little older since most recent releases have been 9 years or younger. Cheers.

Small sample size but it seems to me like spicy recipes like OESK tend to be put younger but recipes like OESV and OBSV or other more fruity recipes are older? I kinda feel like the spice recipes can handle the younger ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda feel like the spice recipes can handle the younger ages. 10 years 4 months. This is actually my first bottle of K yeast in almost 2 years. I have lots of it bunkered, but had a bad experience with my last bottle. I had stumbled upon a bottle of OBSK at Liquor Barn back in Louisville. It was 8 years and 10 months I think and it was the worst bottle of Four Roses I have ever had. By comparison, I have had worse tasting whiskey than this, but for my favorite recipe it was a struggle to drink. Ever since, I have been very hesitant to buy the younger selections of all Four Roses recipes. Was happy to see this one was at least double digits old! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 W12. Simply put, a nice relaxing pour. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 My last day of break I decided to head to one of my favorite watering holes for lunch while out running errands. Ordered my standard double Bakers from a bartender who apparently only works lunch shifts during the week so I don’t know her nor she me unlike most every bartender in the place. After having to stop her from pouring the “M”akers and emphasizing the “B” in Bakers she grabbed a rocks glass and darn near filled it to the brim. I’d call what she brought me somewhere between a quintuple to sextuple? More maybe even? Felt obliged to point out to her it was a huge pour as apparently she doesn’t serve many double bourbons at lunch. The owner (who I know well) was lurking about and overheard me. He came over and laughed when he saw my pour and proceeded to pay for my whole lunch for trying to help “his girl” out. So bottom line....a whole lotta free Baker’s. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 So today offered an opportunity to mix up another legacy (burlap neckband) RR1792/VOB BiB mingle. I like this combo very much, I don't know that I prefer it to VOB BiB (which I emptied and MUST replace on the next KY trip) on its own, but its a good "daily pour" , don't analyze it, just sip and enjoy. Slainte!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 decided to have a pour from my one and only Stagg jr. I opened it upon purchase, it was quite hot and needed water to approach anything enjoyable, today after several months this second pour is quite nice. I look forward to a Sjr/BT mingle, I think that will be just fantastic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Damn, if Baker’s may not be my favorite bottle going these past several months. Thick, rich, full, and loaded with caramel and chewy leather. Enough of an oak backbone to hold it all together. Proof and age are just about perfect for my tastes. Particularly, with a fine cigar on the patio. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
