CUfan99 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Checking in on the lunar eclipse every 30 minutes or so while sipping some Belle Meade SiB and New Riff SiB. Transitioning from a 10 year to a 4 year highlights the brash youth of the New Riff, but wow, the flavor is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 While watching the Pat's game I decided that KC Cask Strength 9 y.o. rye went rather well with homemade chocolate chip cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourbonBuzz Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I had an Old Forester 1920 and an Old Ezra 7 BP waiting for the eclipse and fell asleep. Is that a sign of getting old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Sailor Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Just sat down with a healthy pour of HMcKBIB. Probably follow it up with some 4RSB or Blanton's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evasive Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I had about 2” of ice ball left after my old fashioned, so I gave it a WT101 bath. Hate to waste good ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Sailor Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Planned on pouring a 4RSB, but it was behind my bottle of Rare Breed. So, now I'm drinking some Rare Breed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I've really been enjoying this JB Distiller's Cut. I grabbed the last bottle (in a box) at my favorite store. I hope more comes our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to give a try to the regular 10y, still available in Europe, but it's drying out now, maybe i'll pull the trigger before it's too late. Enjoy, that's definitely great juice. Cheers!

dad-proof Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Had 4 half-pours split with a friend that's in town - basic survey of some if my easy to find favorites: 1) RRSB 2) Baker's 3) Blanton's 4) OF Single Barrel. Actually, the last one was supposed to be an OF 1910 or 1920, but I had never tried an SB from OF so gave it a go. Finishing up at home with a Blanton's SFTB, a little too strong for my friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm switching things up yet again. This evening I'm keeping things nice and simple with a couple of pours of EW BIB. While I admit that I dearly miss the HH6 BIB, EW BIB is fast becoming a very able replacement. No complaints here. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm understanding what your getting at here, there isn't a direct correlation between age and proof, it's kind of miraculous those two are so close, location and the actual barrel can change evaporation. If I missed the mark my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Will try to stay awake for a late start Blues hockey game. Not sure if bourbon is a good idea to keep me awake but this is good stuff. I picked this up when I was in PA for the $39.99 retail price which I think is fair. It's going for $79.99 at some places around here which I think is ridiculous. A coworker negotiated one down to $60 and seemed happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single barrels so they dump them when they dump them, not to mention they were likely bought in lots from MGP and I doubt the organized them by barrel number when they got to WV, not to mention being 4 barrel's apart they very much could have been filled on the same day if they are using MGP's barrel numbers. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
