Kepler Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Started the evening off with Blanton's PS, then moved on to Baker's small batch. Now just poured a Booker's (Dot's batch 2015-dash-something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN 2014, my wife and I had a bucket list trip to Bora Bora. WHile there, I managed to acquire a few Tahitian Vanilla beans. WHen I came back, I put them into a pint bottle of Jim Beam Black that i had on hand. The bottle has set in the back of my liquor closet until I remembered it yesterday. As you may expect, it has a wonderful vanilla flavor. The thoughts to Bora Bora before the expected ice storm tomorrow wams my soul. I know that view! My wife and I stayed there in 2017. Paradise.

flahute Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Some of you may recall that I recently jumped back on the Old Forester 100 proof train due to the fact that Washington State finally came to its senses and dropped the previously highly inflated price back down to what it's supposed to be. Damn this is good. I've been hitting it for the past 3-4 nights in a row and tonight it's as good as ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double C's Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 pulled out the HH BiB to do a little side by side taste test. It was the winner but the EW bib is perfectly suitable as a value pour as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parksmart Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Last night with some clients: CEHT Rye - better than the last time I had it 1792 SiB - pleasant, but nothing special HW MWND - agree with forum sentiment that this is nowhere near worth the tariff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSurfer55 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Kepler I agree that Bora Bora was paradise. We hope to go back for our 50th in four years. One of my best memories was sitting on my deck drinking an Hinano beer and watching the rays swim by.

StarSurfer55 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Been a bourbon kind of day. Stated with a bit of larceny, then on to some legendary duke, then finished with a bit of Belle Meade Cognac finished bourbon. Sat in front of a fire with no shoes radio playing. It has been a good day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah.....no competition here. Mine was bought at Liquor World in Bardstown during the Sampler in 2011 and isn't a dusty, but the label looks kinda cool.

JCwhammie Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It's cold, it's snowing, and it's the perfect night for a few barrel proof pours. But it just seemed like a good evening for some 90 proofers. I wish I had some 4R SmB to pour too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Back in 2014 I bought my first and last Angel's Envy Cask Strength. It's way too port forward and I usually get a sulfur note that's totally off putting. I decided to give it another go tonight and to my surprise it's not bad. So I'll ride this wave for as long as it lasts. I've been on a missions, much like @Harry in WashDC, to drink down the bunker clunkers as he calls them. That's why I grabbed this one tonight. I'm fully prepared to work my through this one via blending and get it out of my house. Tonight it's working on its own but definitely not worth the price I paid. As an aside - regarding my plan to work through bunker clunkers, I'm happy to report that I now only have 5 bottles in the entire bunker that are clunkers and three of them work well in cocktails so they are set aside for that. Zen is rapidly approaching. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen is rapidly approaching. I'm glad you brought up the topic of bunker clunkers. Great term, btw. This past year I received a current version of Willett Pot Still from someone as a gift. First time I'd tasted the new stuff since they discontinued the single barrel product. I recalled that you once said that some modern KBD products tasted like wet cardboard, if I'm not mistaken. I remember that I thought at the time that I've never tasted wet cardboard in a bourbon. Well, now I have. You were absolutely right, Lol. But on bright side I'm finding that using modern WSR as a blending agent makes a great tonic for bad WPS. Blending it 50:50 actually makes it fairly tolerable and negates the cardboard note. So, the moral of my story, folks, is to always try adding some WSR to your bunker clunkers before totally giving up on them. Now, I still have some old dusty WPS single barrels buried in the bunker somewhere. I sure hope THOSE don't require any WSR blending agent to make them decent ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
