JakeySnakes Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Came down with a summer cold out of nowhere. Having 2oz. of DN Reserve with honey, lemon, and a splash of seltzer. More of a cold toddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Why not on a little sbsbs with the house of budget BIBs. The JWD is slightly darker than the other 2. There is no loser here, and the only winner is me. This is only my 2nd bottle of JWD. For $12.99 it certainly wont be my last. We're having a cookout Saturday, so I decided to buy the JWD and EWBIB for when people ask for bourbon. Thanks to HH for keeping the 'bottom shelf' stocked with quality pours. A month or so ago my brother was over. He wanted a pour, so I gave him WSR with a cube. He asked if I was giving him my bottom shelf stuff. It's comical that non-bourbon people question our choice of pours before trying it, like I'd give him a pour of some catchy marketed (poorly executed) craft stuff that someone gifted me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) Buffalo Trace on a cube while lunching at Husk In Charleston. I hear that Sean Brock is no longer affiliated with Husk. It showed when I last ate at the Husk in Greenville, SC, as the food was very disappointing. Not the case here, however, as the food was exceptional. And, it’s a beautiful place.

squire Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Slowly working on this which has a good deal more rye spice than was expected . . . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Decided to try my infinity bottle. Added the last pour in 2 days ago but a majority had been marrying for a few weeks. Did 1.5 oz pours of everything. Have to say I’m really enjoying and can pick out qualities of most everything since I have multiples of stuff from the same distilleries minus the Bulleit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wanted to do this for some time. You are right, there is no loser here. I was thinking I would add Ritt BIB to the mix and maybe do it blind. I would add JTS Brown but I don't think I could find the BIB near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who run this store are the best! Mr. Ferdie & “Me Me” Ferdie. (Hence Me Me’s Special Batch) They’re probably in their late 60’s & have been doing it their whole life. His family were bootleggers in MS before they got into the legal side lol. He even gave me this awesome little mini of Early Times today. He said he doesn’t know how old it is, but it still has the tax stamp. If anyone can help, please reply. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the label, my guess is late 1970s. I can't make out a date on the tax strip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
