HoustonNit Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Wow...Fantastic price! I’m assuming the store got a deal from the distributors or they were trying clear out older inventory. The cheapest I’ve ever seen it in my area was around $125, and I thought I was getting a bargain since most stores in my area that still have it on the shelves have it priced at the original MSRP of $150. They where definitely trying to clear out inventory. It’s a local chain where it seemed every store in town was sitting on at least five of these. Maybe it was $90 something but definitely under $100. I looked again recently and they moved the price back to the $120 range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdad Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Drinking a 2 oz pour of EH Taylor Small Batch tonight. Gotta say, it is pretty tasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) The first, only, and probably, last time I actually enjoyed a pour of Old Forester 1910. It has always had that sickly saccharin-laden artificial sweetener taste to my palate. Tonight, it’s quite nice. But, I’m having it after a heavy and big marinara pizza with plenty of tanginess. It pairs well, here. Perhaps, I might make it through this bottle by making this my pizza night whiskey... Well, I have plenty of this bottle left, so I have a lot of pizzas to go.

0895 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) A sample from a friend of one of the absolute best KC SB store picks bourbon's period, I’ve ever had. I think it was 14-15 years old. Still mad at myself for not buying a bottle... Edited September 20, 2019 by 0895 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to remember to try my 1910 again after a good Italian meal. From previous experience I know a nice red sauce has worked before on whiskies that I didn't really care for and hopefully it'll work again. Otherwise, this bottle may sit on the bar forever (unless I get rid of it next April in B'town) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps your taste buds are finally coming around to recognize the delicious character of whiskey that’s in that bottle. There may be hope for you yet Joe.

I’m still kicking myself for not buying more than one bottle when the first batch came out, because it’s nowhere to be found anymore in my area. I hear the next batch is coming out soon. I hope it’s as good as the first batch...for me anyway! [emoji3] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Decades really is an exceptional bottle. Fantastic spice, perfect example of Turkey profile, maybe a hint of the old dusty in there. It states 10-20 years. You can taste the older stuff but done really, really well. I bought it for $90 and wish I opened it earlier and bought a few more. If I see it again for that price I’m buying multiples. I think Turkey is my favorite distiller. There high end is great and available and there low end is great and available. $90!! At that price I’d flirt with divorce with the number of bottles I’d buy (all of them). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshall9779 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 First go with WTRB. Damn good. Nose is great with just very light ethanol. The finish is great and long. Drinks a good bit below the proof. Spicy and delicious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I haven't had anything in nearly a week (just too busy or worn out). This EW BIB is tasting so good. If you have an energetic four year old, you don't need expensive whiskey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
