Guss West Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Laying to rest my first bottle of OF 1920 today as well! Fret not, another bottle waits in the wings. My favorite OF expression, hands down. Prost! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSurfer55 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 So it has been a real crap storm for the past week. Without getting into the details, it has been multiple issues with each having its impact. Having some Michter’s small batch tonight to reflect on things a bit before getting back to it tomorrow.

They beat Phil twice today, and Pitt beat the Cubs (somebody better investigate THAT! just saying, and my wife grew up a Cubs fan). Celebrating the fact that the Nats' season has been extended at least one game, I am trying my best to finish off the last inch in the 4RSmB Select GEETEN gave me (THX Frank, and Patti says HI). Why finish it? She said it's time to get "some of those bottles off the dining room floor". Harry, I think I'm growing up to be you. I'm looking at bed frame riser stilts so that I can stash my latest purchases under the bed. That was my former red line. Things are getting serious. I looked at a UK storage space but that costs about 3 decent bottles per month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Last pour from a looooong 4R blind. Will collect notes and have a lengthy post sometime this weekend in the 4R 10 recipe thread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a jumbo Glencairn knock-off, I assume to prevent Sky Clubbers from pocketing them. That’s a triple in there (my low fill target of the night) to give you a sense of scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable how Dave was able to get everyone back on track when so many were calling for his scalp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooting for the Nats - Harry in WashDC deserves/needs all the support he can get for his teams. Sometimes OGD BiB just ain't enough!

CardsandBourbon Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Been in Charleston SC and Savannah GA all last week celebrating my birthday. I decided to give a couple of the locally produced spirits a try, since I was in their area. In Charleston I tried the Virgil Cain at Fleet Landing. In Savannah we visited the Ghost River Distillery and tried their bourbon. I know I'm a bourbon snob from smack dab in the middle of the bourbon universe so that may have colored my perceptions a bit, well actually a lot. Virgil Cain: Tasted young, which it probably is (NAS) and likely a higher rye content. There was a little bit of spice up front, dry but by the back of the tongue it was pretty flat. With some more age more nuances might start to develop but for right now, color me not impressed. Ghost River: Nice tour, and the lady who basically gave us a private tour was very knowledgeable. They're aging at the distillery in a single floor set up. She noted that they will be building a temperature controlled aging warehouse since the heat is pretty much a 10 month deal so they're not getting as much movement into and out of the barrels. The nice thing about the humidity, according to her is that the angels share is a very small percentage. They're using two different yeasts and working with other secondary grains. The most important thing, the taste. Well . . . it is only two year old bourbon and the sample I had also used oats as a secondary grain, but with their rye yeast. So, a little bit sweet, a little bit spice but again, not impressed. Hopefully they can develop a better taste profile as they start to release older stocks down the road. Otherwise I enjoyed pours of KC Rye, Blanton's and others. There was one special item, but you'll have to go to the What Bourbon Did You Purchase thread to find out what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Continuing to winnow the bunker. THIS time, I took one of my MANY OGD 114s and put 700 ml in an empty 750 then added about 2 OZ. (about 59.1 ml) of water to it and let it sit a day or two. The final proof is about 105. I then poured two OZ of the result into a glencairn which sat next to me while the Nats transfixed me by scoring NINE runs in one-half of one inning against the Cleveland Indians. I then sipped. I cannot believe the amount of fruit-compote-forward this has. I may NEVER get out of this chair. EDIT - Is now 10-6 Nats-Indians in the 7th. Another sip. Finish has some caramel and a bit of smoke/char and a hint of astringency. EDIT 2 - I still may not get out of this chair. Edited September 28, 2019 by Harry in WashDC Update score and sipping; Edit 2 see above 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
