hollywood Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 This question has probably been posed thousands of times in as many different ways including here at SB.. I purpose that we address the asthetics first.. Who doesn’t like things that look nice, right?! That said, we’ll move on to Part 2 and so forth later addressing the other possibly more complex aspects of that “perfect pour” after everyone has had a chance to throw each candidate into the hat in respect to COLOR. Here we go! So after some debate, I considered my love of the coloration of many of the WT products, my initial bottling of GTS, and my ‘89 OFBB. I finally settled on Old Fitz 14 BIB! Although, in honesty I can’t say I’ve seen first hand I can’t take my eyes of this bottle! Exquisite color! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Are we speaking here about the color of the label? ...Or the color of the pour of a 'standard' amount in a standard glencairn? If we're discussing the latter we'll need to also consider ambient lighting, back-lighting, etc....no? All that said, I too love the recent presentation of Old Fitz in it's entirety, including all the expressions so far. I mean; what's not to like with this elegant bottle, label shape/color, closure, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 No... the color of the bourbon itself... I concur with you though, the bottle of this including the label and it's design as well is masterful. I felt like Part 2 we'd discuss possibly the "Perfect Proof" neat and so on. FYI.

fosmith Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Well, to my eye, a 14 yo KC SiB store pick looks beautiful in a glencairn. Deep, glowing mahogany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
