flahute Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Just cracked the Old Forester Barrel Proof that I picked with my local. Holy hell this is an outstanding whiskey. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So was going to watch some baseball tonight while enjoying a couple or 3 pours, but political hijinks cancelled that. Screw 'em, I'll find some other ways to spend my entertainment time. Now on to the pour: Weller SR 7 Year it is to get things rolling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I'm having WT 101 to celebrate the weekend. Now that my son is in all day kindergarten, weekend means something - no get up early tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now, this is better than 1920. Need a couple more pours and a sbs to confirm but first impressions are that BP is better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhettro Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Opened my first Woodinville 90 proofer the other day and found the neck pour to come across really young. Which it is, but more than I expected. Had my second pour tonight, out of a different glass mind you, but found it to be a much more enjoyable experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzhead Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Tonight, it's been Buffalo Trace Kosher Straight Rye and Kosher Wheat Recipe. I like the 94 proof on each of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I really enjoyed my Weller ladder tonight. But for me a weekend tasting wouldn't be complete without at least some rye-based bourbon. So I'm closing out the night with some 2009 WT Rare Breed batch 3RB 108.2 proof. Absolutely different than all the Wellers earlier tonight, ... but that's okay. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTen Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Had a GW4G or 2ish last nite with S-I-L after a dinner of Char Siu and Chinese veggies over stir-fried Hong Kong-style noodles to celebrate their new house acquisition in Lexington, MA (18 minutes from us instead of 3+ hours in Brooklyn). They wanted to get out of that hell-hole so badly that they spent a month on Block Island, 2 weeks on Martha's Vineyard (just ended) with various weekend trips to house-hunt up here this summer. When they actually close on the house, I'll break out the WLW 140.2pf and my last bottle of 1982 Ch. Mouton Rothschild bordeaux for more Wagyu beef sirloin strips to really celebrate. We have daughter #2, hubby and the grandbabies with us this weekend and the house is filled with the sounds of happy/momentarily sad children. SWMBO is in 7th Heaven and all is a little more right with the world today. Daughter #1 is coming over with her kids later this morning and pandamonium will reign supreme for the rest of the day. Ain't life GREAT? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 12 hours ago, JCwhammie said: I had heard this pick was good, so I picked this up yesterday for $40 OTD. There were 2 bottles, and I grabbed 1. Upon opening it last night I immediately knew I made a mistake by not grabbing both. I wouldn't have thought a 5 year bourbon would be in the middle of my wheelhouse, and I was wrong. It's good to see MGP with another run of fantastic bourbon. This bottle will probably be in the recycling bin relatively soon. I was equally impressed by my bottle of PS SAOS from K&L. Great barrel proof 5yr MGP bourbon for under $50. Wish I'd bought a couple of backups as the word is out and it's sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. You have my utmost respect and admiration. There are folks here that fancy WT, and are members of “The Flock”. Others love FR’s, and belong to “The Cult”. Kepler sir, consider yourself a charter member of “The Weller Whorde”. Congratulations, well done. Biba! Joe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 The good news is that it's missing the engineered somewhat saccharinesque overlay I find in OF 1910 and WRDO-- the bad news, to quote “Roadhouse”-- I thought it'd be bigger. I proofed it up to around 50% with some ECBPA117 and everything fell into place. I think four appearances of TOASTED BARREL on the PDP is a bit silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Back from dinner out, and this 4R 2014 SiB LE is killing it. Great spicy finish, but the nose is such a beautiful, full-on, dried flowers potpourri. Just great. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get to the point that bourbons just start to all taste alike and really do nothing for me, I pick up a bottle of it. It’s gone within days, as I do enjoy its uniqueness. After that, I’m good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
