I think they had to put out some good bourbon that year to redeem themselves after the 2012 release. ...AND, it was only about $40! Days long gone, sad to say. Sadder yet, the quality of B'Bay Bourbon has slipped as the price has skyrocketed. I have a few in a cabinet that will likely never be joined as they slowly slip into oblivion. I'll mostly enjoy the hell out of 'em as they pass, however. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice viscosity, it's a good one to chew on for a bit. The only downside is that the finish is a little too short, but hey, it's Friday!! Woohoo! An all time favorite.

Bourbon Fanatic Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Today I opened: Old Fitz 11 Woodford Reserve Double Oaked SP Stagg Jr. 126.4 All were great, I loved the OF11, but the Woodford was a great 2nd, with chocolate and raisins throughout with a creamy mouth feel (forgot to take a pic). The Stagg was great too - FULL of cherries. Twas a great day Cheers! Edited August 12, 2019 by Bourbon Fanatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a pour of my 2016 the other day, but I don't think it's as good (still great stuff) Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouringwhiskey Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 My wife took me to a LS in Cleveland to pick some bottles for my birthday, I picked up the Piggyback and OF1920 there, the OS107 was a barrel pick acquired about a week prior. The Jameson couldn't be passed up on sale for $4. I'm enjoying the Piggyback, and REALLY enjoying the OF1920, the Old Scout... not so much. Maybe it needs some time to open, or maybe I was having an off-palate day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall looking a bottle over earlier this year, but the price ($40 if I recall) for what the label said made me quick set it back down. I opened the GD BIB after work, and ran a pour through the Vinturi Spirit Aerator (hoping that 'opens up' and counters any "I'm gonna suck since I just came from a sealed bottle"). Still on the oaky side of my preference, but better than I remembered it being last week! Getting a turtle brownie thing that I'm really digging. Would love to try, do you know if available in Wisconsin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverc Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Cracked open this, Taconic Barrel Strength Straight Bourbon. It says it is a "blend of two straight whiskies all aged two years or more" on the back. It's 115 proof and quite good for a craft distillery. I expect they have some older stuff in here, maybe 4 year, because I don't get any of that young corn note so common in under-aged craft stuff, and it is not harsh, even at barrel proof. The nose and taste are not super complex, but I expect it will open a bit. I'm curious to see how their distillate will continue to improve with more age. Taconic makes several other whiskies, including some wine finished ones. They may be worth checking out in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 After digging through my stash over the weekend, I was in the mood to open one of these old 12YAS (on back) Elijah Craig’s. Apparently I just really like Elijah Craig. Old bottles, new bottles, store picks, all of it. It’s just a solid pour that’s always kinda reminded me what bourbon should traditionally taste like. This particular bottle is quite nice with its sweet vanilla aromas and oaky finish. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfletchgu Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 This is one I have passed by every since I began drinking bourbon thinking “I really need to try that next time” so I finally pulled the trigger. Good stuff, although I have always enjoyed OF stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
