FasterHorses Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Have taken nearly a couple months off since Thanksgiving with only a couple pours around Christmas. Pure torture. Having my first real drink in some time tonite. A new Eagle Rare store pick on a very fresh palate. This tastes like liquid butterscotch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would you pick? 3 DiGiornos, or the bourbon?* * Trick question. Double Score! Price Tag AND State Tax Stamp.

Great bourbon selection and great prices on most items too. My first taste of Weller Full Proof and, I have to say, it's delicious! Sweet, fruity notes and great mouthfeel. Like a baby WLW. Also, I'd never tried WT Decades either and wow, what a deep and complex bourbon! The GTS (2018) was, of course, amazing... $15? . . . For a pour of GTS? . . . Gotta Luv That!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil T Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 This one is for you Gary and Joe. A Vosmonster type pour of a Weller Whore fabulous pour. Pretty sure this was bought in 2013. It is a butterscotch bomb for sure. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I think I wouldn't mind drinking here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Between rain, Holiday festivities, rain, and other stuff...rain, it seems like ages since I’ve had an evening out by the fire. Taking advantage of a lack of all of these impediments, to relax by one tonight. Bouncing back and forth between pours of WT 101 and Buffalo Trace, before I figure out what I’ll change it up to. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just Standard BT. Didn’t feel like high proof and this is plenty to keep me interested with some pleasant side effects. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very much what I get from that bottle, and I love it. Moving up and down through the 1792 labels of SmB, BIB, Single Barrel, Full Proof, the profile shifts to more/less of each of your notes, and makes for some nice, while different, offerings. IMO, Barton is killing it with their line extension of 1792. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Had some Stagg Jr. Batch 11. Only a small pour since its Mrs. Clueby's bottle. Then moved on to a sbs of a couple 375s of BT store picks. They were VERY different. One was very un-BT like. Had a bit of nuttiness and a funkiness in the finish. The other was like an amped up BT with vanilla and that BT mineral-ness. I liked it quite a bit better. Mrs. Clueby agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Had some BTPS in my flask Thursday while camping out at my county’s whiskey event. Bought at the event and cracked last night. Interesting nose with sour stewed fruits and oak. Very sweet, with more stewed fruits on the palate. Almost seemed like it could be port or sherry cask finished or something.Not an everyday pour but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I camped out overnight one time in the 80s for concert tickets. I don't know if I"d camp out now even if I was guaranteed a bottle of PVW23 at retail. Hope you got something more than an RC6. They were stacked 10 deep on the shelf at TW in KY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately even the RC-6 is allocated and the only way to get a lot of allocated stuff in my county are their whiskey events by either camping out or their lotteries.
