Harry in WashDC Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 While bunker busting (i.e., looking for bunker clunkers to finish off), I found an almost full 750 of SB Blend with a sticker saying 7 DEC 2018. YUM!! It'll do while the 600 ML of OGD 114 + 2 OZ of distilled water I just mixed up sits for a few days (@ new proof 103.42 or so). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I’m still dealing with a freaking cold. I tried a short pour of BT when I got home from work. It was just okay. After supper, I’m kicking back with a couple of pours of MM46 CS. Much better. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that a pour of something good would most likely be a waste, so I’m trying to kill two birds with one stone. Literally. I have a number of low fill bottles, so a little venture was in order to hasten the emptying of a couple of bottles, and to find something at least a little enjoyable for my palate. I ended up (again) blending some Kirkland bourbon with a dusty Barclay’s. Hey, it works. Biba!

marshall9779 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 My old baseball superstition got the best of me tonight. Had a pour of this the other day when the Nats won the wildcard game. Hoping it helps tonight. At least they put one on the board first inning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam777 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) I wasn’t going to wait on this one. Got it today and broke it open. I love the packaging on these. I’m glad I listened to the community on this one. Nose was kind of weird but everything else was amazing. Thanks guys. Cheers! Edit: I take it back about the nose. That was just bc it was the first pour and only a little time in the glass. After a little time in the glass the nose shines through.

Kepler Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 FC 6yr from the freezer while watching college football. The freezer mutes some of the complexities of the whiskey but it's a nice pleasant pour in the middle of a hot (even in October) Texas day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I understand why locals would turn to more traditional style pizza on an everyday basis. But give me the thick crap please! Edited October 5, 2019 by Kepler pizza pizza!

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this about putting whiskey in the fridge/freezer. After all the posts over the years from those who enjoy doing it, I thought I was an outlier in this matter. Not sure if I'd use the word complexities for my experiences because the few I've tried this with have been "bottom shelf" bourbons, but the flavors certainly seemed muted. I guess it's another one of those "whatever works for you" things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
