I don’t normally drink rum, but this is an example that makes me understand why rum has increased noticeably in popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 1792 FP with two ice cubes bringing the 125 proof to about 105 proof. I am sorry I've been ignoring 1792. We don't get VOB 100 here often, and even though I find the 1792 drier (i.e., less sweet) than the VOB, it is a wonderful sipper when watching pablum TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parksmart Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Met up with a buddy who has been very generous with accessing his extensive collection. We had the following during lunch: KC Rye VWSR 12 year Lot B Afterwards, we just copped a squat in the parking lot and had some more pours. It felt good to be able to repay him somewhat with some juice (aka Old Fitzgerald BIB 6 year Stitzel-Weller barreled in 1950), while he brought some ORVW......

Wedelstaedt Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Enjoying a pour of 1792 FP PS. Has intense flavor, along with intense alcohol. Buttery. It is good, but must be enjoyed in small sips. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 A little impromptu gathering last night to celebrate Robbie Burns and some good fortune for smokinjoe. We had a couple of whiskeys too. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Been meaning to do a SBS of these for a while and decided to do it last night. Had my wife pour for a semi-blind SBS. First one ended up being the ORVW. Richer nose of red fruit and oak and a little cinnamon. More of the same on the palate with a little tobacco note at the start of the finish with oak and baking spices.The OWA has more ethanol on the nose with tart cherries and cinnamon as well. On the palate more of the same but the proof shows a little more than the ORVW. The finish shows almost no oak with more cinnamon redhots and tart cherries. Definitely can see the similarities but ORVW is richer and more complex and can tell has more age with more oak presence. Can’t believe the new MSRP of OWA, which thankfully hasn’t hit in my county yet, is only $10 less than ORVW. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSurfer55 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Flying home from phoenix today. Had some Woodford on my flight now in the Delta lounge in DTW having a bit of Old Forester. I must say that this makes my 3 hour layover a bit more tolerable Edited January 25, 2020 by StarSurfer55 Typos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Forget where I read the description but it was something like “gooey butter cake” and I have to say I agree. First impressions are pretty favorable. I don’t think I will take every release like ECBP, but I can see myself picking 1-2 up every year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dusty Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Popped and poured. At cask strength needs some airtime before I really form an opinion. But first impression very favorable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Wild Turkey night. WB Saffell and various RR single barrel store picks. They are all fantastic tasting, but none of the RR can hang with the finish on that Saffell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 My progression tonight: WT101 to WTRB 116.8 to RRSIB. Every pour has it's merits. You can't go wrong with any pour. Hail to The House of Russell. Cheers. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Bret Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 A very pleasant surprise. Was expecting harsh or acetone notes for only 19 months in the barrel, but found a gem. New leather and sweet nose with a hint of smoke. Same leather taste and dry with touch of lemon zest. Unique but very pleasant medium finish. Vatted a small amount with WSR - WOW! Will be doing more of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but we Bostonians do (maybe) - isn't that a St. Louis specialty? I seem to remember (in my very distant past) having a long lay-over in STL flying TWA. One of my swimming official buddies asked me to find some "gooey butter cake" and bring some to the meet. That stuff was really "finger-lickin' GOOD!" but messy. Totally worth it, tho'. Heading to Mizzou next year for the SEC Swimming Championships and need to fly thru STL, methinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
