JCwhammie Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Since the price hike was announced I've been semi-rationing my store pick 4R bottles. But sometimes they come calling, and I'm always happy to answer the phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have a Batch 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think I have an OGD Bicentennial bottle from Anderson. There was so much good stuff back in the day all around that area (Spartanburg, Greenville, etc). Cheers! There are still a few good ones to be found. Why just the other day I ran across an Old Forester that actually said signature on the label and a twist cap Henry McKenna BiB. So dusty. My bourbon karma must have been pegged out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Went to a tasting tonight to raise money for MS. Everyone was supposed to bring a bottle (about half actually did). This was the lineup. My contribution was the High West American Prairie. All in all a good night and I found myself going back for the Legent a couple times. Need to find a bottle to bring home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Just a small pour tonight, but is quite tasty. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found those two as well ( A much needed reorganization and condensing happened that day). I drank a bottle of 12. It is very nice indeed. I had a sample of the hazmat, but I don't really remember it... there was a lot of stuff there. Personally, I feel like the older thicker bottles were better batches, but I'm not sure if it's reality, or just my romantic memories...

Batch 12 was my favorite of the older batches but I haven't tried them all obviously. I did do a SBS with a batch 12 and a couple of the newer batches and to me it was indeed better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only had one from the new bottle, Batch 13 (127 Proof), that's how I listed it. Pretty good, but not in the 130+ range, but whatever came out after that, they hit that 130+ range, I have know idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUfan99 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) I’m having some Old Grand Turkey or Wild Grandad if you prefer. 50/50 OGD 114 and RR 6 yr Rye. She’s running a little hot for 102 proof but the flavor is there.

BMartin42 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Starting off with George Remus. Worried my palate is off tonight. Tastes nothing like it did the first couple times. Hot for 94 proof and nothing but cinnamon red hots. Maybe the cigar from last night is still messing with me. Last time I really enjoyed this.

Seems like many people in the UK use liquor dispenser trees that hold the bottles upside down. I saw this at many hotels and bars while over there. I know you can buy Jack Daniels from overseas with the label purposefully mounted upside down for this purpose. https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/1122/jack-daniels-original-bar-bottle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy a good cigar with my bourbon.. however... It definitely effects or impacts my palate normally for 2 days thereafter and not just in regards in the tasting of bourbon...
