His filtering through Hickory charcoal happens after it's batched and really imparts a nice subtle smokey/ashy flavor. I referred to it as "Murican Peat". t has the flavor I was kind of expecting/hoping for from WT Longbranch. I'd love to try their 8 or 12 year age stated, but they are a little pricey. The 8 year I’ve gotten aren’t too bad, but the 12 is a bit on the pricey side. This isn’t a go-to for me per se, but I do grab it when I’ve got an itch for something a little different. I’ve heard before that these hadn’t been put through the sugar maple charcoal, but kind of blew it off as rumor. If you heard it from Bringle I suppose that’s a good source. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a little different. I had to look it up again, but here is the quote from the interview. “Ours is a Tennessee straight bourbon. It’s not going through the Lincoln County process before it goes in the barrel. It’s distilled and aged in Tennessee, but what we do different is it’s kind of our take on a process like the Lincoln County process, but we take the bourbon and de-barrel it, then we filter it through hickory charcoal that I actually burn down in my pit at the front of my restaurant. We have a hickory charcoal finishing process that gives it our unique signature and flavor and taste.” This is from a 2016 interview with The Whiskey Wash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.B. Babington Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) I'm heaven hill fan and always surpised with both consistency and inconsistency. They always keep me guessing. Years past Evan Williams SB inconsistent but 3 bottles last year were on target, good, much like old McKenna BIB. So I bought 11 or 12 different bottles with different barrel numbers to do comparison, all 2011. Just opened the 1st one. Pretty good, very enjoyable. I'm liking it much more than the 2011 McKenna BIB I have open. Goes down easy, good flavor, light on expected after taste but it's there. Edited April 15, 2020 by B.B.

flahute Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Nice fat bottle kill pour of Old Forester 100. This has become a staple for me ever since it came back down to a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the EWSB kept getting younger I enjoyed it less and stopped buying it. Now it seems the ages are starting to creep back up and the quality is returning. Bought the first bottle I've had in several years a couple weeks ago (2012 Vintage) and I'm really enjoying it. It reminds me of one of my best HMcK10 bottles, just watered down (which makes sense due to the proof difference). Definitely putting this one back in the rotation now that HMcK10 has become hit & miss on both availability and profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSurfer55 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 So decided to do a tasting with my wife today. SHe has much better palate than I do from her wine tasting days and, frankly, I burned my nose years ago working in a microbiology lab. We started with Stranahan, then moved to Smooth Ambler Big Level, followed by larceny, WIllet Pot still, Weller 12, Wodford double Oaked, Pappy 15, Bookers and Knob Creek. Was a bit surprised that she preferred the Woodford and that Bookers. This was a tasting so these were all 0.5 oz pours. I enjoyed the time together and learning her preferences. She prefer big and tannic Cabs so maybe the Woodford wasn’t that much cf a surprise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
