4R PS night.  Began with OBSK and now sipping OESK.  I definitely like the OESK recipe better - but both are tasty.

This stuff is alright, alright, alright.

I think it’s just Okay, Okay, Okay, but it is a very approachable bourbon that gives WT a product to compete with Beam’s Basil Hayden’s Bourbon...so from a marketing standpoint, I’ll agree that it’s alright, alright, alright.

Did a tour over the weekend and it's something seeing how small their operation is.  They fill 6 bottles at a time, cork one at a time and hand label everything.  They sourced 500 barrels from MGP that Larry Ebersol oversaw and worked him while setting up their place.  They said they aren't releasing any of their own product until the MGP product is all gone even though their own will be hitting the 4 year mark this year.  Definitely picking up more of this 12 year and they said there should be some single barrels being released in the area shortly.  Can't wait.

$60-65.  Single barrels I believe are around $80 on the rare occasion they're available.

Four Roses tonight. Been quite stressful here lately and thought a small pour might help my perspective.

WT101. My first bottle. Damn versatile product at $21/750. Had an old fashioned last night. Neat tonight. Works well at both.

A little side by side of two Barton BIB. The 1792BIB was the winner, but only slightly. It was difficult to tell much of a difference,but the 1792 was slightly more refined. VOBBIB at less than half the price of the 1792 is still the best value by far.

Had a bit of MMCS for the first time tonight. It was a pretty solid choice for something you can get so easily. Excited to see how opens up with some air.

Looking to pick a bottle of the 1792BIB soon.  Good idea to do the side-by-side.

Anything loud and proud.

 

ZZ Top, Stones, Aerosmith, Cult.

 

I'm still a much better collector than a player, but I'm working on it every day.

Oh yeah, that's wonderful stuff. I'm more Stones, Aerosmith, Hendrix, Cream, and Rush, not so much the Cult. Even so, you're definitely speaking my language!

 

Cheers,

Nancy

And in this moment, Nancy got even cooler than we already knew she was.

I just watched the Blu Ray of Taste: Live At The Isle Of Wight. If you don't have that one, get it. I'll give you a full money back guarantee!!!

I bought, opened, and drinking some BC 12y. I have a few bottles of this in the bunker, the color on this one is much lighter then the other ones I have, but this is the best one I’ve had hands down. Very good. 994E1F53-E149-4F3C-B79F-B39680242A42.thumb.jpeg.38957110d7ccf3d74aa7dd552d9e57d4.jpeg

Thanks for the memory with the pic of the stainless ECSB cup!  I love that cup.  I used to use mine a lot, but it’s now been unwittingly cycled to the back of glass cupboard.  I’m going to have to dig it out for the weekend!

If I remember right, that cup came with the 1996 or 1998 EWSB Christmas set. And their were 2 stainless cups. Ahhhh, memories.

The local bottle king has the 1.75s in stock, if the bottle wasn’t so big I’d say I’d grab one and ship it lol
