j_fuelfiveo Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I picked up a bottle of OGD 114 on the way home once I found a local store that carried it. After a quick sample I think I will keep a bottle around from now on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FasterHorses Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Had to run down to Alabama today, so I made a couple extra stops.. So glad I don't live there..they're prices are ridiculous. Saw this as high as $45 but got mine for $17. Still too high but wanted to SBS with OE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard you can get it some places like NC for like 11 bucks. How do you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ezra seems to have more of a caramel taste than the other two. But the SBS will tell me more. I think this is in a tight third place but close enough to keep me from lamenting the loss of the others. I still cant go along with thinking EWBiB is close to these three. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I are in agreement about EW BIB. As far as I’m concerned, EW BIB is an on the rocks bourbon or cocktail mixer only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, IMO, the new release represented by the bottle one the right is significantly better. Rounder, more complex and more mature tasting. Color is significantly darker. No way is it only 4 yo. To my palate, it is 6 or 7. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercharger Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Stumbled on some McKenna tonight and grabbed two bottles. Liked it quite a bit. Was starting to think I’d lost it when KCSB and OF1920 weren’t agreeing with me the last couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my palate, it is 6 or 7. I believe the last bottle I had was probably the one on the left, but I still don’t think that EW BIB is 6yrs old. It’s priced too cheaply relative to many of their brands that used to have 6yr age statements and were priced slightly higher than EW BIB. Those brands lost their age statements or were discontinued by HH because they didn’t have enough aged stocks to maintain the brand with an age statement or they couldn’t justify selling it at its price point. I’ll give it a try again someday, but I generally prefer my sipping bourbon to have a little more age on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again, that’s why Baskin & Robbins makes so many different flavors of ice cream. Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my palate, it is 6 or 7. That's good news that the newer bottles are tasting a lot better but it's definitely not that old. I'm not saying I don't trust your palate - in fact you are making me consider buying one (which I had sworn off of based on the last one I had which was the older label). The HH6yr BIB was discontinued because they could no longer justify selling a 6 year old bourbon at that price. This statement is directly from HH. If they discontinued what was at the time a bourbon available only in Kentucky for that reason there is no way they would turn around and put 6 year old whiskey in what is a high volume nationwide brand that sells at essentially the same price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
