Not_That_Fancy Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 So... this was my Vday gift! I’ve been married 9yrs and she went above and beyond. She took a picture of my little bar and went to a liquor store. The gentleman talked her into this. I love that she did this but... $100 bottle of this was absurd. I’ll post a review this evening. I’ll drink regardless but would take a 18$ bottle of powers any day ”it’s the thought that counts” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah unfortunately it seems he's checked out. Too bad, he was a great contributor on here and the site misses him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hanging out with my other valentine for a few minutes. (the cat, not the bottle) Yeah, the price on these is rather absurd. But the bourbon is rather delicious! Love how oaky this release is. Not quite as good as some of the best ECBP batches I’ve tried, but different and certainly somewhat unique in experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM818 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I’ve been sitting on this a couple years. 2017. I know it’s sourced from places unknown (or known). There is a store in California I frequent because they’re good to me and they get a ton of it and sell it at $100. Which I just found out by tasting it that it’s not a good value. Anyway, weak nose, sweet on the palate, and pretty good finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal00768 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 1 ounce pour of 2019 4R LE. 1 ounce pour of 2019 OF BB. The 4R was tasty but not $150 a bottle tasty. The BB was very meh. I’m glad I tried it at a bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 WTKS PS to open up the "Galantines" Evening. Onto RRSIB. Both are good on their own merits. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 This RRSiB is so chewy & oily. I am a fan of all of the 7 big houses. But, I think an argument can be won, that The Russell boys are leading the pack day in and day out. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not bought any bourbon in quite awhile. I think you will find the current batch of WTRB, a delight. I highly recommend picking up a bottle.

CUfan99 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I’ve had a rotation of a RR SiB from F-6, Bulleit BS batch 3 and Wilderness Trail SiB rye. All are very good but the Bulleit is so so good. I love the thick full bodied mouthfeel of 4R at barrel strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Last night after a great V-day dinner with some homemade bourbon, chocolate chunk cookies my wonderful wife made. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSurfer55 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Took my wife out for Valentine’s Day dinner at Webster’s in Kalamazoo. Arrived early so that we could have a drink in the bar before dinner. Had a couple of boulevardiers. The first with my stand by bourbon, Buffalo Trace and the second with Makers Mark when I was told that they were out of BT. Frankly, I prefer the BT over the MM. When back to the bar after dinner to listen to a friend perform for a while. All in all, a good time was had by all. I know a lot of guys hate VDay as being too commercial, but I actually enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with my wife by ourselves. She is the primary caregiver for our handicapped daughter so she doesn’t get a lot of breaks. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Always a pleasant surprise when a mundane chain restaurant (whose entire selection of bourbon consists of KC and MM) serves your generous KC pour in a nice brandy snifter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoFingers Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 A little WT101 before cooking dinner. Really hit the spot. A regular old srtandby isn't a bad thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
