Double C's Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 stopped by my go to place last night and grabbed an OF 1920 to try this weekend. I am looking forward to a comparison of 1910, 1920, and will make a blend of 1915 to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMonk Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hoping to replenish my stock of WSR today but no luck. However found a family sized bottle of a BT single barrel which will be my first. Am excited to do a side by side tomorrow with the regular BT to taste the difference 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dog can run free too. I stopped in a cool store in Avalon and picked up a Wyoming Whisky Double Cask. This is five-year old Wyoming wheated bourbon, which is good stuff, finished in sherry casks. @Whiskeyblender - are you responsible for this? It's delicious! I'm thinking immediately of the Joseph Magnin and wish I could do a comparo but that bottle discharged its service honorably several weeks ago. This dram really shows its brilliance and balance with a long Kentucky chew, where the bourbon cuts through the velvet of the sherry. @Jazzhead, I cannot tell a lie.....YES! I do have some responsibility for the WW Double Cask. The big difference between the Jos. Magnus and the WW, besides one distillate being much older and from Indiana and the other being 5 to 6 years and coming from WY, is that the WW Double Cask uses only Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks for the finishing. The majority of the Sherry notes in the Magnus come from Oloroso Sherry casks, with just a little bit of PX (and Cognac, which isn't historically accurate to the blend, but that helps make the profile a bit more like the original). At any rate, I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the WWDC, and I'm especially glad to hear that the Sherry notes are not overwhelming the Bourbon itself. That's always of concern to me, not just with WW, but with any distillery I blend for. I'll be back in Wyoming again when blending season starts up in May to work with more of that delicious Wyoming goodness! Cheers, Nancy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantsi Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Grabbed a Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered and 10 year Desert Jewel - I have a 12 year private pick currently open so ill do a side-by-side-by-side as soon as I shake this cold. The 12 takes me back to the good old days of SAOS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the big ER. For me the only time it is available is when my LS has a private pick. The one I have open now is a great on-profile barrel with huge cherry cola flavors. Was lucky to get a case, one open, one for a friend, one for later. Perfect. Well I admit I went back for more, but they were all gone. Only had 750ml of the second barrel that was more off profile. I did pick up one extra, but was really looking to load up on the other one. Oh well Bourbon Cream has been on my no buy list after that last two bottles disappeared alarmingly fast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnewberg Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Saw another EHT Small Batch at 44.99 and had to pull the trigger... Hadn't seen them in many months around West MI so I feel compelled to buy whenever I see them... Really big fan of all the EHT I have had 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 A guy posted these on a local FB group, and much to my surprise it was for (basically) retail plus tax. Many of you shrug and think "no big deal." But these 2 are seldom found on shelves in STL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there are a few local stores that'll tell you retail is $100! The ER10 was definitely retail. In a few weeks I may be in a place to snag a C919. If so I'll get you one.
