I have tried a few bottles over the years and could never quite get into it. I do like OGDBIB. I tried adding water, on the rocks, etc. It is ok but not something that I enjoyed. I did enjoy a 1:1 blend with Ritt BIB. I started with a nice pour of New Riff. I really like the young spicy bite to it. I made a mistake by following it up with a little scotch. Corrected that faux pas by cleansing my palate with a pour of WSR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a minute too, to realize why he was calling it "a little turkey". Looked like he had a fishbowl sitting next to his bottle...than oh wait, that's just a little bottle. haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spade Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Started with a pour of ER10. Moving on to a pour of SAOS 11 year 52.1%. Both are very good but quite the contrast — the SAOS is really dry compared to ER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I saw a video on making clear ice, so I gave it a run yesterday. I gotta say, I like that it melts slower. I generally just go neat, but this is nice on occasion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcoholica Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Tried Virgin Bourbon for the first time at a buddy’s house. He got it for under $15 after tax. For the price, it’s amazing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing we have that's comparable is EW BiB which I understand is from the same distillery but a couple of years younger than the Virgin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgin Bourbon really is vastly superior to standard EW BIB. Unfortunately, only available in a few (mostly) strict control states. HH’s benevolence to those less fortunate, again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSurfer55 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Decided to try some Longbranch again tonight. I have grown to enjoy the touch of smokiness in the finish and thought that it would be a good one from my friends that like Scotch. As it turned out, I was in Costco a few weeks ago and ran into a Scottish friend of mine. We have discussed whiskey in the past and he enjoys the Islay Scotches. I told him about Longbranch and that he could get a bottle at Costco and he headed over to pick up a bottle. About a week later I received an email from him regarding Longbranch and thought it was worth sharing. Here it is: “Cracked open that Longbranch last week – it’s the closest thing I’ve ever tasted to a non-Islay Islay malt! Really complex, but the major differences for me come at the end, when there’s a complex almost caramel finish to it, which is wonderful. I’d never have pulled it off the shelf, so a thousand thanks for pointing me in it’s direction…..it’ll become a staple in my armory!” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he’ll branch out into other bourbons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
