Double C's Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I wasn't to fond of this one, maybe it was the dickel juice blended with it. I managed to kill it off to make shelf space for something better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there were waves, mostly from other boats, so we had to find a smooth patch when the bottle would not slide off the deck. It was a bit of a gamble. You know, just a pair of middle aged dudes choreographing a sweet bourbon photo. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 It just dawned on me at 11pm, that I accomplished absolutely nothing except sitting around drinking today..... (sigh). My parents came over for a few hours this afternoon to visit and bring us some farm fresh peaches, so I guess there’s that. It was nice to see them. Working in healthcare and turning 40 this year has started to make me very aware about cherishing the time I have left with them. Anyway, the VOB 90p was darn good!

It's very good, my first initial impression on the nose was green apple and was happy when a friend had the same note. All I remember from the first sip was the back end heat and kick of spice/black pepper. After my palate was acclimated there was the vanilla and honey I get in 101 Rye, but taken to the next level. The finish is solid in length and, surprise, surprise, quite spicy. I will reserve final judgment until I try next to Cornerstone, but I don't think the RBR is going to match up in viscosity and depth. From a value standpoint, it was $60-65 here, which is alright I guess and will certainly be on the future bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree with this and add that it does not stand up to Cornerstone, but at $55 here vs $170 for Cornerstone, it's a real bargain as I do not believe there is $115 difference in the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Good stuff! Barely legal so more like a high rye bourbon. My honey hole sells this for $39.99 + tax so it will be replaced.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Emptied a bottle of 12 year 1792.... technically I blended about 1/3 of the 12-year-old with a few store picks I had open. Came out very nice. Edited July 30, 2020 by LCWoody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Saying goodbye tonight to my bottle of Rabbit Hole Rye, which turned out to be a pretty nice pour. For a 95/5 mashibill (contract distilled in Kentucky), it has far less "rye spice" than an MGP rye. It's being replaced by a bottle of New Riff rye, which is also a 95/5 mashbill. I'm curious - is the Rabbit Hole distilled for them by New Riff? There are certainly similarities as I sip them side by side. Sure wish I knew how to posts photos - I always enjoy seeing the shots of the "dead soldiers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Final pour of a curiosity purchase. Bulleit 'Blender's Select' proved to be a solid pour that served me well. It's obviously 4R distillate though, and for my money I'll just pony up to the 'Lawrenceburg boys', as I move forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you submit your reply, the picture will attach. If you don't use a smartphone or iPad/tablet, you can always take pictures with a digital camera, then transfer them to your computer and then use the computer to upload to this site.

I typically use a photo resize app to lower the size of the pics I upload to conserve bandwidth. My phone takes 4K pics and I lower them to 40% resolution. Still more than enough for website viewing. There was an overall limit on total upload capacity per person. Not sure if that still applies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
