OESF barrel strength single barrel late this Friday afternoon. Has notes of muddled mint leaves and cherry pie. A good way to start the weekend! Cheers, Nancy What a beautiful picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Just finished watching a short documentary about Jim Morrison and the Doors with the wife. Mrs. Kep is off to bed now and I retired to the man cave to listen to music and sip whiskey. WB Saffell is hitting the spot. Of course I also put on the Doors' first album. What a brilliant debut.

MM818 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 This week was a roller coaster. Some big wins and some tough losses. I’m a small part of the PPE supply chain. I pulled this out to try and enjoy my Friday night. This is pretty good. I’ve only had this and 2016. Too early to say which one I prefer. I know 4 roses tend to change throughout the bottle. Or maybe it’s me that changes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) RR SiB PS. This one is a full 10 year old barrel from rickhouse F. Most of my RRSiB have been 9 yrs. This one is excellent. But then again they all are. I've never had one that was not excellent whiskey. Edited April 11, 2020 by Kepler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Bret Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Kind of makes me laugh (or cry). Of all my open bottles right now, the one with the most alcohol is undrinkable! Guess it's a sign of the times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.B. Babington Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) I'm really enjoying a bottle I didn't find. All this talk of limited Roses sent me diving into boxes looking for Mariage. I found 2 RHF and another GTS I didn't know I had. Christmas April. I paused to lovingly gaze at a box of pre-fire EC18, and then gave up. Back to this 2008 Weller 107 I'm going to send to netherworld tonight. Edited April 12, 2020 by B.B. Babington 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 After having some FRYL this afternoon, going with an after dinner pour of DSP-31 JW Dant BiB. Great old timey butterscotch on the nose with a ton of green apple in the taste. Good stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've moved on to Eagle Rare so raise a toast to ya. And raising another toast to you getting your kid to watch a movie with ya. I'm jealous. My girlie won't, she reads books and paints. Jeez, what am I raising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great old timey butterscotch on the nose with a ton of green apple in the taste. Good stuff I found one of those pre fire Dants while helping my dad downsize. I had given it as a Christmas present years ago. There was one pour gone from the bottle. I took it home and tried to make it last. That was some of the stuff that originally sent me on the bourbon journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 The Blanton's Gold was really excellent but I have to ration that bottle a bit because of the high price when I imported this bottle. Thankfully, Russell's Reserve and Four Roses single barrel private picks are not overpriced, so I have switched to them to finish out the night. WT Rickhouse F and 4R OESV respectively. Lawrenceburg Goodness. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
