It is interesting to drink 15 year old bourbon and taste the oak and all the flavors but it overall fell flat. I would give it a “C”. Bottle style was an “A” though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverc Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Boondocks 8 year port finished. This is quite nice, better than I expected. Easy to drink at 90 proof and still has a nice, but not overpowering port finish to it. I think Binnys and some other places have single barrel picks of this stuff. I may consider getting one if I see it, since this bottle is a good pour for ~$45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Opened up my bottle of the first BiB from a local distillery. I have to say I am impressed on how easy it is to drink, and it has a very good flavor profile for being 4 years old. Really looking forward to a few years from now to see some older bottling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I’ve haven't been a Blanton’s fan for some time, but I bought one back in January and opened it tonight. Not bad at all, a little better then I expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one open at the GBS irish Whiskey night and I while my expectation wasn't high I was still a little disappointed. I hope they get there but they aren't there yet. A SBS with Early Times BIB at half the price blew it away. Really nice bottle though! That has got to be worth something...

Masset1982 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Cracked an OWA single barrel from LMDW , a French retailer, one liter bottle for, be ready, 89€. Yeah Europe is freaking expensive when it comes to American whiskey. But, let’s forget the price here for a minute. This stuff is quality product, coating the glass right away, the nose is deserty, spicy, not overpowering, the proof is just perfect, on the palate, even if the finish is not long enough for me, it’s freaky tasty. Pretty happy to have 2 liters for my personal enjoyment. Will probably pouring something else now, cheers! Will. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) While nothing to call home about, it’s spicy, delicate, & reasonably better than the std. version. I like it, in a solid B minus kinda way. Edited April 1, 2019 by 0895 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam777 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I didn’t waste any time on this one I bought today. One of the few Turkey products I haven’t tried. Wow it is excellent! The price seems a bit high at $57.99, but the bottle makes me smile. I’m going to go ahead and say it’s worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredibly disappointing to me that Bulleit managed to take a 12 year old rye and make it average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding. It's probably priced fairly at $45 if you consider the old SAOS 7/99 rye was about the same price when it was more common. I really need to do a sbs w/ my open SAOS rye, just for comparison. The Bulleit 12 is just lacking any kind of complexity or depth. It is a newly opened bottle though, so I do factor that in. At least Diageo didn't try to make an orphan barrel product out of it for $100 per. Edited April 1, 2019 by 0895 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpartan Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Opened this to celebrate knocking of Duke and a trip to the Final Four for my Spartans. I’ve been sitting on this one for a while waiting to give it a try....Too many open bottles at the moment, but I needed something new for the occasion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets even better, IMO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Hoping I like the Binny’s pick. Was pretty unimpressed with the regular bottle I had which surprised me given the love it gets on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeySnakes Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 It was on the shelf stickered at 22.99, but all the others were 27.99...so I picked it up and opened tonight. 7yr 10mths, it's a tad hot for 86.6 and hard edged. Hopefully it will develop a little with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
