I'm in Reno visiting my daughter and her new baby, and the only whiskey in the house is a family size Bulleit and a left over WR 50ml from my flight out. That's OK though, I like the FR....I mean Bulleit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think they did a pretty good job running it and they get some stuff at a good price. Some stuff came up and I couldn't stay for the Yama lottery but I did enjoy the morning. I also enjoy talking with the fellow crazies in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUfan99 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 68 degrees with low humidity in SC in June AND it’s national bourbon day! It’s going to be a good evening. Starting it with a 9 year OBSQ. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for Mako but I did a little sampling tonight of the 13. Was surprisingly bold and drank above it's proof. Blind I would have thought a light rye and not wheat? Very nice but not delicate. I had been drinking a much bigger proof before the taste which made my drink even more surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Celebrating with the final pour from WTKS. I'm going to use to bottle for standard WT101. Gotta keep the Turkey feather bottle alive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako254 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 @JoeTerp @FacePlant @bourbon4all The OF 13 is a quality pour. Agree that it has more heft than I expected for 100 proof (it is more viscous not hot IE heft). A lovely nose that tips the mash bill: thick butterscotch and a syrupy caramel note. Changes gears mid palate as another SBer notes. Reminds me more of a rye bourbon—fair amount of spice and an oaky presence that reminds you of the age but not in an unpleasant way (over oakes bourbon is not something I enjoy). It has a subtly lingering finish with a nice little bloom at the end. Over all, I like it. Maybe even enough to buy....which says a lot for me. This is hands down better than lot B. Savoring last few sips now. After the nose, it would be hard to convince me this was a wheater if I had tried it blind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
