lcpfratn Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 My son brought this home to me from his recent visit to the distillery while he was in Seattle for a friend’s wedding. It’s got more barley on the nose and palate than it’s mash bill would seem to indicate, and it’s very different from the typical 5 to 6yr old bourbon, but I have to admit...it’s pretty good stuff!

Cheers Ya know, I don’t remember... my comparisons are to the other 46 PS bottles with the various non standard 46 staves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 BT PS again this evening. Getting near the bottom of the bottle. It has been a good barrel. I wish I had another. Oh well, I bet I will be ok. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried HH6BIB in the freezer and didn’t like it as much as from the fridge. 4RYL however is great from the freezer. Because you mentioned it, I’m now going to try RB from the freezer. Ooh sounds good, I love experiments. I'll try it out and post my results. Going to be fun choosing a bottle for the experiment. I was leaning towards either FC 6yr or HH6BiB, but that 4RYL is also a good idea I hadn't thought about. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I store a few at all times, but will also put just about any bottle in the freezer (along with the glass) when I plan to pour it over a large cube. Avoids that cracking and popping of the ice when you pour. KCSiB in particular is fantastic this way and pours like maple syrup when cold. KC is also a great idea. Thanks for the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had their bourbon, but I really enjoy their 100% straight rye. It was originally aged in small barrels and was even more flavorful and so dark it was almost the color of coffee. But the current bottling is still pretty tasty stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywood Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Woodford DO. This double oak is climbing up the list quickly of go-to’s. I reeeally enjoy it, just wish it was a little more affordable though. Worth it, but still pricey nonetheless.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledInBond Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I tried my first New Riff product today, the single barrel bourbon. I thought it was pretty good considering it is only 4 years. I’ll be excited to try their juice as it matures further. At $50 I probably won’t buy a bottle of this anytime soon but there are certainly worse values out there. Need to try their rye still for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshall9779 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 A healthy pour of OWA after a very productive but exhausting weekend. Changed the rear struts in my wife’s car yesterday, Still have the front to do along with ball joints. And power washed the second half of the house today. Frickin exhausted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 having a pour of DN1863. After my first sip I thought "wow, this reminds me of a grainier version of WT101." So I poured a little WT101 to compare. Though I definitely like the turkey better, I stand by my initial impression. Funny how spicy a wheater is to me tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Not my favorite batch of ECBP. A little one dimensional but has some fleeting moments of ECBP-ness. Overall its mostly hot oak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seem a few reviews that said C was the best of the 2018 batches. I haven't tried B but I thought C was a bit better than A in '18. That said, ECBP seems to mess with my palate sometimes. Some nights it's rich, complex and wonderful. Other nights, the same bottle is just heat and barrel char. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other nights, the same bottle is just heat and barrel char. I've had the same experience with it. Must be what we've eaten and drank during the day that affects it. I do note that I can eliminate most of the heat by letting it sit a minimum of 10 minutes prior to sipping. That said, I still need a cube of ice which really opens it up for me and allows more flavor to come through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Bret Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Agree on the C918. I think the B518 was\is probably the best I've had so far in the past couple of years with the A119 a close runner up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some A119 recently and it is a stellar batch. Better than B518 IMHO. My favorite batch so far was the "old" style batch 12, the last one before the change. None of the newer batches have held up to that one. ..again IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
