Kepler Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Just killed a 1792 Full Proof store pick from 2016. Have several more in the bunker, from back when I first came across those and horded them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it well enough, but not enough to seek out a bottle. It can be a tad bitter at times. Otherwise, kinda similar to Pikesville rye. I like Cornerstone better. Hey! We agreed! Glad I Passed on the PHC. Wish I could run into another Cornerstone. Wait, check that I’ll hold position and wait for the Rare Breed Rye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussianBourbonLover Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 ECBP Batch 11. High Proof candy. Have always loved that Batch. Still have 1 more left but it tends to go quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Finished off a bottle of my attempt at Fishnbowljoe's Weller Blend. It definitely improved with bottle time. I see why Joe (and others) enjoy it so much. I will vat a Joe's Weller Blend again. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Found the bottom of my Booker's 30th Anniversary today. Glad I had this one, but wish had more of the characteristics of the 25th Anniversary bottling. Good and unique, but not at the quality level I felt it should have been for an LE or special Booker's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I think I'm going to designate Sunday as the evening I pour from a bottle I dont intend on replacing. Tonight it starts with 1792 SmB. I dont hate it, there's just way too many bottles in the price range that do it for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have soooo many 'less-favored Bourbons' that I don't mind, or even like pretty well; but, just fail to grab when looking for an afternoon/evening pour. ...And, many of 'em languish for way too long in a low-fill condition... not ideal for sure. I need to make a meaningful commitment (which I have done several times with uneven follow-through) to drain/drink (even if it means mixed), or toss 'em. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 bottles that will be getting dropped to mixers for lemonade this summer. Both of which when I pour neat it takes WAAAY too long to get through or I just end up throwing back quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a story for another day, though. Suffice it to say, that my hopeful nature has lead me to buy more than a few Bourbons on the chance that each may have been worth having/drinking. A few have! ...A VERY few, when it comes to the craft and 'small NDP' brands I used to buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDN98 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 What do you do when everyone is fighting over toilet paper and you don't have any kid's sports/activities on a Saturday? You kill a few bottles with only a pour or two left. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 My first pour tonight was OBSQ, which I love. Last pour of the night is an OESK bottle kill. I love these 2 recipes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm in the process of weeding out the "almost empty" bottles. I hate to see this one go..I picked it up on our last trip to the Motherland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Finally killed the rest of my 10 year, 7 day 2016 OESV from Binny’s. This was one seriously good bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacePlant Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Just polished off Bakers 107 7yr. Many have spoken about the appreciation for the brand. It's truly a different Beam. Many great flavors playing well together, and it's the only Beam that doesn't lead with peanuts (or peanut shell). Red fruits, almonds and caramel with hints of cocoa and citrus. So much going on here. The way this story ends is---I now go to the new bottle 8 1/2 yr with great expectations that this brand will continue in excellence and if possible an uptick. Gosh knows we need an uptick about now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 1792 Port Finish - not much of a fan. And a couple of 101 "Turklets" (to borrow a term i believe someone on here coined) - big fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Since there's no empty bottle support thread in the rye section I decided to place this post here (sorry if that's frowned upon). I enjoy this 5yr 7mo quite a bit. Edited March 23, 2020 by JCwhammie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tascabe Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Since moving to new house - have not yet set up the glass recycle process - so counter has been collecting bottles. This is the last ~2 month's bourbon empties. Several were started before moving so not quite as bad as it looks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not_That_Fancy Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Another bottle gone.... and another bottles opened. This was the sweetest cherry popsicle bottle I’ve had yet. Edited March 24, 2020 by Not_That_Fancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not_That_Fancy Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Tonight’s victim. Started with OGD114, poured the last of this RB, and finished off with ECBP. I have too many bottles that I save the last pour of. This week is dedicated to finishing those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
