0895 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Opened a euro bottle of WT13 year today. This stuff smells wonderful. Fairly easy drinking at 91p. Classic turkey profile is there, albeit lurking somewhat in the corner. Very nice. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I had a grand opening of an ECBP C918 on Saturday and opened up a BT SP this afternoon. My taste buds are workin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfletchgu Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Had this bottle for a while and decided to finally crack it open tonight after finally getting a backup (thanks to a SBer). Awesome stuff, super smooth with great flavor. GeeTen you were right this one is a honey barrel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told her this and and basically any age stated WT. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeezy1Kaneezy Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I really like these PLP’s. The 8 is really good too. Wish I could find them easier. I don’t go to TN often, & even if I did, they’re not everywhere. I need to get a lead on which stores actually get them & make a trip to try & snag a few extra. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised these don’t get more love around here. Age stated, good proof whiskey from someone that probably knows how to pick barrels better than most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of it might have to do with availability & limited distribution. I know the price tag of the 12 scares a lot of people away. I’m a fan.

Take the ECBP and 3 points for the LAC-Pats game. I'm going with the BT for the Chiefs-Colts. That game is probably going to be a nail biting, high octane shootout and I want to be awake all the way to the end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmennium Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I recently picked up a bottle of the highly-regarded Stagg Jr. Batch 9, and opened it up last evening. It was an interesting case study in airtime and oxidation. I compared it blind to a Batch 10 bottle that has been open for about a month, and a Batch 3 bottle that has been open for some years. They were all close, but the Batch 10 was clearly the best, and what turned out to be the Batch 9 was definitely closed off and ranked third. I have little doubt that with some airtime, the Batch 9 will equal or exceed the Batch 10, which was fantastic. I'm at the bottom of a batch 9 bottle, for me it destroy's batch 10, especially in the longer finish. It will open up VERY nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never even seen it. And if I did, I'd pass on it because I'm sure it's priced highly along with it likely being from Dickel which I generally hate.

Paddy Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 ^^^^I've been passing on it due to the price (and source) as well. If I want to taste Dickel, age stated Kirkland's is my QPR pour of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji3] Yes, it is sourced from Dickel, but it is still very good. I have a bottle, and I’m pretty sure FasterHorses has a bottle. Yes, it’s also fairly pricey...I can’t remember the exact price, but somewhere between $79 and $99 is what I seem to recall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen any PLP’s but I recently picked up a Dickel 9 yr PS SiB while in TN that is fantastic. $33 or $34 and at 103 proof. I really wish I had bought multiples of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit to occasionally liking a Dickel expression but it's few and far between so I'm skeptical of anything I can't taste first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First pour was for me, then some samples to share with others. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!! A little late but, Merry Christmas anyway. Tried a sample of it recently, the 2018 is just awesome, i really need to find a whole bottle. No luck yet though. Enjoy and cheers!
