Vosgar Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 2015 FR OBSK from the gift shop, selected by JR. 9yr 9 mo., a relatively low proof of 52.9%, and it's outstanding! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have 2 JR Gift Shop OBSK selections in the bunker. One of which he told me is what helped make the 2014 SMBLE a reality. I need to open one of those soon. Trouble is, I am not sure which box I packed them in when we moved 18 months ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked one up haven't cracked it yet as I'm a bench player these days but I've nosed a glass from someone elses bottle and I was suitably impressed with what my nostrils were experiencing. Looking forward to delving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Since Steve "encouraged" me a few days ago to open some bottles, tonight I cracked a RHF to go alongside the PS FR from Monday. Thanks buddy! I needed the push 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemosabe Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Looks like I finally lucked out and found a honey barrel of CEHT. This bottle qualifies as the best I've had from BT, and I've had plenty. The nose, taste, and finish are perfect for me. I wish I had a bunker full of this barrel so I could stop hunting for 10 years. A great dram while watching my Yankees spank the Sox. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Opened a bottle of WT Russel's Reserve Single Barrel. It was a store pick that I was good not great. I hope a little air will help it open up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam777 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Been on a tight budget recently so decided to grab and open these guys. I’ve had the EWBIB before but not in a while. The OGDBIB is a first for me. Honestly these are both hitting the spot right now. I’m a fan of the OGD114, so naturally the BIB is right up my alley. I love the heaven hill profile so the EWBIB does it for me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soberiquet Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I purchased this bottle back in December. I was really excited to find a 2011 WTKS as this would have definitely been the older lower entry proof. Also, it only cost $42! I saved it to open at the end of Lent as I gave up alcohol. This is my first experience with the infamous broken Wild Turkey corks, I feel like I've been through some sort of initiation, lol. The bourbon itself has a great nose and very thick mouthfeel, but the palate is too intensely bitter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I opened a bottle of EC Single Barrel Store Pick today. It is a 12yr which is an added bonus and tastes really good. Now I just need to do a SBS with some of the old label stock I still have in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 W.B. Saffell, my first go at this one. Very oily and full-flavored. It has a very bold spicy note that is welcome, classic Turkey if you ask me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a bitter WTKS, but I've had one that had spice and dryness turned to 11. No bitterness however or it would have been undrinkable.

It was a bit of a let down, but fortunately it is still drinkable and at the least interesting. I also think my palate was a bit off after not drinking for so long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Cracked this tonight. EHTBP #6 128.1 proof from '17. I acquired this bottle last Christmas in a gift bottle exchange tradition I share with my brother each Christmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be one of my favorite bottles. Cheers! Edited April 27, 2019 by Adam777 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
