I bought the first 82? proof version and was greatly under-whelmed, esp considering the price. Then ET BIB restored my interest in other-than-Old Forester bourbon from B-F (big fan of most Old Forester). First time I’ve seen it on the shelf was this week. Grabbed it in Louisiana. It’s def nothing like the previous version. This one apparently uses a grooved barrel as well as being higher proof.

Don't think I would have even looked at this given the name......when I first tried it I didn't think it was all that bad for a low proof rye but now I'm not so sure. Might be one for the cocktail shelf. Love the band, just wish they would have picked a better bottle to put their mark on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently did a blind sbs of batch 12, B517, and B518. For me, batch 12 was the standout, but B518 wasn't too far behind. B517 was way behind the others, which didn't surprise me as I have never enjoyed my bottle of this batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Started with JTS BIB. Then opened a Binny’s pick Joseph Magnus. And currently really regretting the Noah’s Mill. I remember when this used to be so good. I’ll need to finish with something to get the taste out of my mouth. Thinking John J Bowman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywood Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 OMG.. This One Man and a Rake is BS! Spent another day in the yard reinventing the wheel after some major t-storms rolled through last night spoiling my previous efforts! I have some large old oaks that don’t do me any favors... Time for some refreshment! Enjoying some VOB90 and it’s trusty ginger ale partner! Time to chill! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
