Obviously looks like Im mistaken. The FR Mariage was only 2008 & 2009. 2010 was basically the start of the FR Small Batch Limited Edition. Biba!

No, nothing that accurate. I use an OXO Good Grips® Mini Angled Measuring Cup. It is clear plastic and graduated in 5 ml increments up to 60 ml and 1/2 oz increments up to 2 oz.

I haven't had OF Sig in years but I definitely get some of the OF chocolatey-ness. It's much drier without the fruit of other OF releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 My son and his family came over today. We grilled out and had some awesome food. After they left, my wife and I kicked back and relaxed for a little while on our back patio. And I had a nice pour of my 2018 Weller Blend. Biba!

mbroo5880i Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 OEBS 117. Knocked it down to around 105 proof which knocked it out the park. Can't knock that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see now he answered you already. But my initial thought was it's probably just simple math. If you know how much bourbon you have, what its proof is, and how much water you added, you get your proof.

Wedelstaedt Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Finishing off a bottle of Johnny Drum. I have enjoyed this bottle. Probably will pick another, when given the opportunity. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I tried IW Harper 15yo in a bar earlier tonight. It was pretty good, if a little over aged for my personal taste. But not bad. I don't have a bottle at home but I could see getting one at some point if the price were right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Enjoyed some RHF and a FR blend of all 10 recipes (my attempt at 'Barrel Proof Yellow Label') yesterday afternoon, while my Dad poured some Bookers (Kitchen Table vs 2013-6 'Roundtable'). Spent a lovely couple of hours just sitting on the back porch watching the hummingbirds, shooting the sh!t, and sipping fine whiskey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a great proof calculator on the Opening page of THIS website. It is very easy to use. As always, Kudos to The Boss and his "Mates" for designing & maintaining such a convenient and fun forum for us. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 My BIL was in town over the weekend and last night we had some of the 2010 WLW I had opened in June to celebrate my granddaughters birth. What a beautiful whiskey. Really put to shame the Blanton's Gold and PS FR OBSK I'd had earlier 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I do but going from 105 to 108 seems pretty specific so I thought there was something more to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 OGD BiB. Keeping it simple tonight. [emoji4]Ha same here! A little put into another bottle from a black cap handle. I almost never do ice but it’s working nice on a hot afternoon and the OFD holds up quite well. Grilling some Corning style whole chicken and pork loin.
