I know your answer will be.... drink it faster. But just asking I honestly dont know. I'll go through quite a bit faster than more expensive bottles. I have a bottle SFTB that I've had opened for almost 2 years, there's roughly 1/2 of it gone, and I dont believe it has changed any. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I had my yearly review at work today. Surprisingly, it went much better than I expected. Looks like I’m safe for another year. (Unless I can find a way to retire before next April). I’m celebrating with a couple of healthy pours of the current VBT. Biba! Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Bret Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 New Riff single barrel just replaced an empty EC A119. Loved the EC enough to put 3 more in the bunker. Will have to do some experimenting to see if any more New Riffs head in that direction. Young, but tasty for a 4 year. Neat first than with Vya vermouth, Woodford Angostura bitters and a dash of maple syrup and an ice ball. Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 KC SmB 100 tonight.. Don’t let the JDSiB glassware confuse you.. My 2nd pour of the night and had to post on “another” thread first lol. I didn’t want to wash an additional glass! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 STILL working down the bunker clunkers. Tonight, I opened a craft 750 (non-KY SBW, but just barely) I picked up in 2017 but forgot about and poured a measured 2 OZ. After finishing ONE OZ. (which was no easy task), I made room in the bunker by pouring the rest of it out - glass AND bottle. It was the only safe thing to do. Rinsing my mouth with JB Dist Cut. It's helping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to pour it out. You could use it to clean windows or paint brushes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeWillTell Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Opened this tonight and enjoyed first pour. I haven't tried all the famous limited releases (pappy, btac, etc) but this is my favorite whiskey I've had and a steal for the $50 price tag.

Right on, well done! That could be battery acid in that glass and would’ve paired up nicely! The ER a much better choice however.

MTNB, I had the newer version of this last night, quality pour but I didn’t enjoy as much as I remembered drinking many bottles of this one of yours. I’ve got 2 bottles of the newer and hoping this one spreads it’s wings after a bit or the other is a little better example.. I was a little disappointed.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha. My wife and I do our grocery shopping together every week. With the two young kids to boot. I dread it each week so much. But wife and I eat totally different things so we get our own food. Yep, we each have different meals almost every night also. Usually four different meals for four different people. Dinner time is a struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious about this one but hardly consider the 50.00 price point a steal so, it remains to be seen just how curious I get. Also a friendly reminder, we have a Rye forum here on SB and this post would look great there!! . Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a friendly reminder, we have a Rye forum here on SB and this post would look great there!! . Cheers. Thanks sir, I'll keep the rye forum in mind next time! I should provide context regarding my "steal" comment. If I was drinking purely on absolute value, I'd never stray from the new OF Rye or WT101. That said, is WFE Rye 3x better? Idk, that's hard to quantify. However, in today's climate I have been forced, for better or worse, to adjust my scale of relative value. So for $45 I get KCSiB Rye picks which are solid (I've had 5 different ones), or for $55 I get RRSiB Rye (I've had 4 different ones) or for $65 KC Cask Rye, or $75 WP10 or $85+ WPSiB10. When looking at those, the WFE4 Rye is, to me and maybe me alone, a good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
