Golferpimp1 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 What do these taste like? I have passed a few, not sure on whether to pick up. I had bad experiences with Rowan’s creek, Noah’s mill, and anything Dickel. Ok all the Dickel comments y’all had scared me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they don’t take over the profile either. It’s pretty unique stuff, but it does it in an elegant way, if that makes any sense. I’ve read that some think that this is Dickel that hasn’t been through the Lincoln County process. Maybe that’s been discounted by now, but if it hasn’t, it’s went through two different charcoal filterings. Sugar maple, & hickory. Whatever it is, or whatever they do...I really enjoy it.

elmossle Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Opened up a bottle of ECBP A118 this evening. I was so happy it was the end of the week and looking forward to spending time with the family. Then, trying to negotiate/settle on a location for a trip to the beach this summer with family was enough to call in reinforcements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Took a flyer on this one. I just get young and corn. Very Old Barton like but not as good for twice as much. Binny’s shoppers, I’d personally recommend against. Maybe it needs time to open up (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statesboro Blues Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It’s not a bourbon, but MWND is absolutely phenomenal. I wish that I would have grabbed two bottles, because it’s not going to last very long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Emptied a couple yesterday so needed to fill the space on the bar. The OCD tendencies won’t allow for open spots so opened a Christmas present. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes awhile sometimes. Occasionally within that process, I'll finish another bottle and gain more space. Then the process might start over again with one bigger bottle, or two of the same size as ones finished. It's definitely a bad geometry game. Everything is in line to be opened, but said order simply does not exist. Oh, and handles (1.75ml's) are strictly forbidden.

My only disagreement is about handles. Handles can be decanted. Hence the reason I keep a couple of empty 750’s, 375’s and 200’s around. They can also be used for blending. Biba!

I have one of those ridiculous 1.75 pot still bottles in the dining room. and if I ever come across a 1.75 of ER10, that's probably coming home with me as well. Definitely keep some smalls around to decant bottles down and blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Well, since my family sized bottle of Joe's 2018 Weller Blend was starting to get a little low, I figured it was a pretty good idea to remedy that situation. "Know what I mean Vern?" I already had a SR open, but I opened the 12 and Antique. Biba! Joe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfletchgu Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Had this bottle for awhile and thought this random Wednesday was as good a time as any to crack it open. Im not a big fan of regular 1792, but the BIB is pretty good stuff IMO. Edited January 17, 2019 by Jfletchgu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasantly surprised how good this tastes. I have a second in the bunker along with a 9 year and should be an interesting side by side in the future You've got the batched Mayor Pingree. They also make single barrels too, which have a blue label. I've got a bottle of one of the isngle barrels open and it's really nice. I love MGP stuff, but it's amongst some of the best MGP stuff i've had (including SAOS, Belle Meade, etc). They are pricey though, at around $100 in the Murder Mitten. I've seen it at Binny's a couple of years ago, in Chicago, but I don't think it's widely distributed. Glad to hear you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverc Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 J. Henry and Sons Patton Road Reserve cask strength. This is 119 proof, 5 years. So far it's decent. Not great, but I didn't expect it to be mind blowing for 5yr old craft whiskey. It's a bit corn forward on the finish, but I think it may open up a bit with more air time. This was around $70-80 when I got it in 2017. They have a wine finished one called Bellefontaine that may be interesting to try. Anybody have that? I think they even have a 7yr age stated bottle out now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpartan Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Opened a bottle of Cassius Clay while testing out steaks with the Anova sous vide. Cassius Clay doesn’t get a lot of great reviews, but it is surprisingly smooth for 100 proof. Easy drinking with a nice Carmel flavor and very little burn. I’d probably buy one of these again for the bar. It’s great for new bourbon drinkers and looks cool with the cannon top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
