HoustonNit Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Also forgot I killed this rye. Definitely see myself buying more but might need to revisit a few old stand byes I haven’t had in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm playing Taps for a bottle of Baker's tonight. I sure am happy, that I have a few bunkered at reasonable cost. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I've been fairly diligent this year on whittling down my number of open bottles. Today the Old Fitz went before dinner and the 2014 FR LE SmB is tonight's dessert, both of which were down to their last ounce or so. Amazingly (for me) I'm now down to 24 open bourbons/ryes. Side note: This self imposed nonsense has to stop, tomorrow I"m opening something. Having so many empty spaces in the cabinet just looks wrong. (The Scotch side, while smaller, is full ) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That “nothing special” thing seems to happen a lot with some of the hard to come by bottles . I ‘ve heard the same about Seasoned Wood and Cured Oak. I thought Cured Oak was fantastic whiskey. Have not cracked the Seasoned Wood yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Finished off this one last night. Another great LE with a heavy, sweet mouthfeel and nice finish. I try to always keep one in the bunker. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 My next purchase will be another bottle of this and EWBIB. Then I'll have the wife pour a blind sbs of those and HHBIB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasting notes on the Dant compared to EW BIB? It’s been years but I remember having a kind earthy root vegetable taste? Wasn’t my thing at the time but I’d like to revisit it.

I've heard further North did more snow than we did this year and the mountains still have plenty for another week or two of skiing. It seemed to be a lighter winter this year compared to our first one here. I'm sure we will pay for it next winter. We are usually about a month to a month and a half behind on flowers blooming than back home in KY. Tree buds are just now starting to show up.

No, I dont remember EWBIB being similar, I just want to compare how different they are since they're all the same mashbill and the same proof.
