At first glance I was like "damn, someone else did the same thing!" then I saw it was you...  Also, I am sure it's just a typo, but the bottle I brought over was A119.

You sir, are correct. That A119 is fantastic.

Bigass Baker’s for breakfast at the LAX Sky Club— a world record pour. 

 

Airport pour best pour. I know a place at Boston Logan that does this, their best pour is KC, but I'll happily take it before a flight. I have serious flight anxiety, but my Boston - Tokyo flights are always painless.

From left to right: Rear stated EC12 decanted from a 1.75, the best of the 6 ECSiB I opened, my blend of the other 5 SiB and 2 ECBP that has been marrying for a month and clocks in at 104pf.

First was John J Bowman. Moved to David Nicholson 100. Now some BT while I head to play pinball in the basement. Time to give control of the TV over to the wife since the Masters is done for the day.

Knob Creek SB w/one cube.

tasting pretty darn good this evening. 

 

(Also, quite literally, the best thing at the hotel bar.  Apparently arrived today on the truck. )

OGD BIB with a cube.  For reasons I cannot identify or explain, I’m liking the BIB over the 114 these past few months.  

[Bob_Loblaw]

The EC12 was very Oak forward, the Binny’s pick much sweeter. Blend was good as well. Initially the Binny’s pick was the clear winner. But the blend caught up in the end. EC12 definitely a distant third. So much for Age = quality.

Going for a pour of WT RB tonight. Been a long week.

How about a long week of going for a pour of WTRB then?  

[Paddy]

A nice PS 1792 FP SB followed by Stagg Jr. ...

 

.....and a lot of rye!

[dad-proof]

OF Statesman. Didn't quite hit the high notes as the first few pours from the bottle, but I'm just easing back after a couple of dry weeks because of allergies.

[Wedelstaedt]

MMCS. An underrated pour, IMHO. 

 

Cheers

I think I'm going to regret not bunkering a few of these.

Had a few nips of SAOS Single Barrel 13 year (Dickel) and didn’t really dig it. Went to HMcK BiB and finished off with WT101.

I'm going to say batch 14 is the best tonight. I think 18 might push it out of 1st place once it has some air time. Both are very good.

Nice lineup, and thanks for sharing the results.  I've been wondering about batch 18, so far I haven't seen it yet though. I have most of the recent batches but not all (there's too many of them).  I'm not sure if I have 14, I'll have to check my bunker.  

 

Couldn't find a batch 14 in my bunker, so went ahead and picked one up, partly based on your results.  Also found the new #18 so grabbed it as well.  Itching for my self imposed hiatus to end so I can try one of these out!

Gotta love it when you come across a great WTKS.  Bunker up!

I had not seen your post and that's what I'm having while watching the Blues gonup 2-0. Not a PS version like yours but this one is really good tonight.

Again, take hand-picked barrels every time over mass batches!

It’s because it tastes better.

Weather is supposed to be bad tomorrow so I got all my yard work done today.  Spent about 4 hrs clearing brush and cutting fallen limbs with a chain saw.  Back is really talking to me tonight. Took some Aleve but thought a little Willet Pot Still would help.  self medicating is a good thing sometimes. 

[CUfan99]

2014 RRSiB was excellent but this WP 10 SiB isn’t taking a back seat. 

[Supercharger]

Finishing off a GJ code WT101. I have an HC down it the bar I’ll be interested in comparing. 

[JCwhammie]

From what I've read so far, the 100 proof VOB hasn't suffered since going from BIB to 'crafted'. So I dont feel the need to ration what I have left. However I do like knowing exactly what's going in the bottle with BIB. 

[Clueby]

Some Stagg Jr. Batch 10 126.4 since we grabbed a couple spares today. Man this is a great batch. Its GTS good but a slightly different profile. More like barrel proof ER.

[Wedelstaedt]

BT PS, followed up with W12. Small pours, so I have room for another.  Haven't decided what it will be. 

 

Cheers
