BMartin42 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Grabbed another Binny’s pick Russel’s Reserve. We went through the first one pretty quickly. Awesome stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing jumped out at me otherwise, but we’ll be putting it up with the HHBIB 6 yr and Virgin 7 tomorrow night to see if there is anything noteworthy. Will let you know. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember her saying that she likes ECBP as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still rationing out a bottle as slowly as possible and can’t imagine “wasting” Booker’s Rye in a cocktail..... full disclosure though, I’ve been known to use Handy in a cocktail once in a while and they’re pretty damn awesome, but some would certainly call that blasphemous Meh. THH may be hard to get, but they make it every year, and presumably they'll eventually get the numbers up so they're more easily available, given the price/cost ratio of that product. Booker's Rye won't happen again. Not distilled by Booker, anyway. But hey, when you're in the Beam family, you don't really have to worry about going dry, do you?

markandrex Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) We were up in Loreto to celebrate our 34th anniversary and pick up my Ambassador bottle. A great day at a beautiful place. Edited October 19, 2019 by markandrex 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I must have been a good boy lately. The wife had a conference in the Chicago suburbs so she stopped at Binny’s up there and these came south with her. OESF and OESQ on the recipes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by an employee at the store that it is "sweet..." One of my local ABC's told me that they were getting in a barrel pick of Larceny soon.

PowderKeg Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Tried and brought home a store select 1792FP. The couple I've had in the past were better described as hot mess, but this one was def different, at least st the shop. Hopefully the bottle won't disappoint once it's cracked...

Bob_Loblaw Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Picked the front two up recently and dug the rest out for a family picture (with cousin Taylor). Have plans with a friend I rarely get a chance to drink with in a few weeks. Thinking I’m gonna blind him with all 5, see how things shake out. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested to hear your impressions of the distillate. I’m still developing an opinion. First pour had some signature mash bill 1 notes, but definitely had a unique profile. It was almost bourbon up front and scotch in the back (palate speaking). With a bit of air it seemed to sweeten up. Still had some oak notes, throughout - but not like ER, it was a different oak. Tasted...newer, if that makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the WLW in a blind two weeks ago in Florida. Short answer is it would 100% stand out too much vs the other five, no point in including. We may finish with it, but he also took a sample home, so I’ll guess he will want to try something new. One of those rare friends you give full bar access to. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures a guy who’s generous enough to offer up the “regular” Weller portfolio to a friend would’ve already poured the WLW for said friend...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
