flahute Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Opened up a bottle of Bulleitt Barrel Strength (purchased about 3 years ago) which as many of you know means barrel strength Four Roses of some undetermined batch. Pretty good! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The Misses and I went to our favorite restaurant tonight. They have a really nice bourbon and rye selection. I was waffling between a few including Four Square 2005. I went with this BM. I had once of the early batches a year ago, and I really enjoyed it. This one wasnt hitting spot as well as that one.

Clueby Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Some ECBP C918 from a freshly opened bottle tonight. The nose on this one is fantastic. I can smell it from 5 feet away. Edited November 18, 2019 by Clueby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledInBond Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I tried the 2019 Four Roses LE. Very good. Obvious traditional Four Roses profile is present but there is that oaky influence from the older component (21 year OBSV right? Can’t remember for sure) of the blend so this doesn’t come off as sweet or fruity as some Four Roses releases. Still, delicious and I’m glad I found a bottle for sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Working on a WTKS PS from a local grocery store tonight. I realize it's not possible, but this whiskey seems to get more viscous as I get closer to the bottom of the bottle (and more delicious as well!). Its been open for over a year, so I guess it's just my memory playing tricks on me again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiltedchef Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 A bottle of Michter's toasted barrel tonight. Brought it from home to Reno, so I could sip on something decent while smoking a cigar and wandering around Grand Sierra resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRich Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I was able to try a pour of Weller Full Proof at a local establishment tonight. A nice enough pour but nothing special. I wouldn’t kill yourselves finding one fellas. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 ER PS i bought today. Mashbill 1 is growing on me. EHTBP is my reference point, so if I taste hints of that... im very happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 First pour from my last handle of EC12, and damn is it good. I had a little RR SmB 10yr just before this. I without question lean heavily towards turkey rather than HH, but on this day HH wins this battle by a clear margin. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing about it made me want a second. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Before the U of L game last night I went to dinner with my son, whose initials are JTS, so in honor of that (well we really just were curious) we had a pour of JTS Brown. I was pleasantly surprised. Had a good nose (candy corn, cinnamon) and didn't taste bad at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good! Do we know if current bottlings are still FR juice? Are the Batch #s on the front label relevant to release date? I found a place that has this stacked deep at $40. Mismarked, perhaps? Everybody else has it for $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
