PaulO Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I'm enjoying some Old Fo 100. I just opened this bottle. It seems even nicer than the last one. Just an observation, since the change to the retro white paper label, it tastes like B-F has gradually dumped more better barrels into the batch. Buy this at the grocery store <$20 - you bet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 Sitting on the couch watching the Mandolorian, sipping on RY 10 year SiB. I wish I had about 20 of this particular bottle bunkered. It is PERFECT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has become a favorite for me. I agree it tastes like better barrels are going into this. It also varies from the typical BF for my palate. I get a salted caramel note and not a hint of banana. It's my current favorite budget buy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 In keeping with my feelings about the Wash DC NFL team for as long as Mr. Snyder has owned it, I am watching Seattle's offense handling Wash's not-so-bad defense while sipping on WT RB 112.8. At least ONE of these Turkeys is making me happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Yes, yes, I know better. Now that the're three generations under my roof (fortunately both kids work on computer so can work from home) I must set an example for the grandchildren by admitting to making a mistake. When it first came out I liked the whiskey while disregarding the somewhat cheesy packaging. Barrel selection must've been better back in the day because every five years or so when I'm in a store and see the bottle I buy it and after opening realize it's the triumph of hope over experience. Now, today, Basil Hayden simply tastes like watered down Old Grand Dad and I don't mean the 114. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS Free drink if you can guess which one first. I might be joining you with a pour of the 2018 WLW later on Face. It‘s been a long day, that started out good, but went downhill when the pressure relief valve on our hot water heater blew. Finally got it replaced, but I probably ain’t gonna have time to make my Xmas fudge this evening. I’m having an after supper, short pour of my Weller Blend right now. Biba!

It's not like I dislike it or anything, but if I were going to design my own whiskey in a lab I'd think this is the set of features I'd want, but I still only land with "pretty good".

I was at the new Total Wine yesterday and everyone was crowded around the mid-tier higher priced NDPs. I was searching out prices on OF100, WT101, and OGD BIB. OK, full disclosure, I also checked to see if they had a RR10 Single Barrel. No, on the latter because it was in the price range of the average shopper. Yes, on the quality pours on the cheap. I watched folks grabbing multiples of bottles based on the recommendation of employees. Not necessarily bad recommendations and many were probably for gifts. I had OF100 last night. It is a favorite. I agree it has gotten seems to get better with each bottle I open. Edited December 21, 2020 by mbroo5880i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 My first post-Covid pour tonight. Some OWA PS. Was super sweet tasting but I got a little cinnamon red hots and the feel was great. Nose was a little "sour" from what I know OWA to be so hope that comes back better. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
