Richnimrod Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Re-visited a long-time fave this afternoon/evening after being away from it for too long: Old Forester Signature from a family sized jug from several years ago. I had moved it off the main runway for space reasons several months ago, and finally put it back into the rotation. Pretty quickly remembered why it's been a long-time fave! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Started the evening off with a pour of 1792 BIB. Followed that with some WTKS. Hitting third was OE 7 101 and in the clean up spot was some RR SiB. The OE narrowly beat out the RR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to get too off topic from bourbon here, but I thought I'd post a picture of some basses and guitars from my collection, what I call my "other" passion. I also just bought a 1962 Fender Precision bass as an early 50ieth "b-day present to self." It isn't in the photo. Cheers, Nancy My fave is that Rickenbacker on the right.

Nice collection @WhiskeyBlender! @kevinbrink, yes, that's the RIC 325 Capri '58 reissue, just like Lennon's. Mine was made some time in the '90's, I believe. Fortunately it already had the Bigsby tremelo added and not the wimpy Kauffman vibratos that those guitars originally came with. The looks are to die for on it, but quite honestly, it only stays in tune for about 30 seconds before the intonation goes out of whack. Also, even though I have smallish hands, I find it too small to play comfortably. If you want to go with the Lennon look but that has good playability in a Ric, I'd highly recommend going with either the 330 like the one I have in the photo above, or going for the 360. Personally, if I had to give all of my guitars away and could only keep one, it would be that 330. Its by far the best guitar I've ever had, with no issues of any sort. And being a semi-hollow body, it sings when played acoustically too. The neck is a player's dream. At any rate, to get back on a bourbon subject before I get kicked off for radically changing the subject, I've been working in D.C. at Magnus this week in order to make the final coupe adjustments to my Cigar Blend bourbon. I added a lot of 20 year old bourbon to it this time round, probably more than I've done in a while, in order to give it a fair amount of depth. I'll be helping with the bottling of batches #12 and 13 today. Cheers, Nancy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Ah yes when this was announced my immediate thought was, why???? VOB bib exists and is excellent so why dilute that fine line for yet another 1792 extension? Then I remembered its Sazerac and they can now tart up the VOB and charge a lot more money, yay. On topic WTKS, I need to finish this so I can use it as a decanter.

LCWoody Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I know that this is going to be kinda stupid, but what the hell. I am lining up a taste test of all my Barrell bourbon’s that I have open at the moment. I opened batch #18 at the LS today and it is damn good. Results later, if I can still type..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Having a sample pour of Rhetoric 25 provided by a coworker. When I smelled it earlier today I was surprised by the amount of vanilla on the nose. After pouring into the glencairn I got the oak. Hits the tongue with a sharp blast of wood, then you get a few things in the middle, some corn sweetness, a lot of cocoa and bitter chocolate, maybe a tiny bit of vanilla. Then that oak comes roaring back to finish things off. I like oaky bourbons. This definitely is that but perhaps just a tad too much. I think the lower proof helps a bit. If this was high proof I think the tannins would take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshall9779 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Did a SBS of a regular BT and a PS selected for my county DLC. Yes selected for not by, lame. Regular was brighter with tart cherries and more alcohol on the nose. The PS was richer with more black cherry and not as much alcohol.On the palate they were similar but the PS had a bigger creamier mouth feel and more burnt brown sugar and apricot and caramel, where the regular was more apple, cinnamon and vanilla. On the finish the regular was definitely more tannic and drier. The PS the was still burnt brown sugar and caramel. Sometimes you don’t know what you have until you compare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
