I tried that. You're absolutely correct. It seems like 85-90 proof is perfect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamMatt Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm a little late in posting but last weekend the wife and I stumbled upon a bar with one of the largest whiskey offerings in the world. Over 3600 bottles according to our waiter. My wife (she's a keeper) said, "order something you'd like to try for yourself, and order something else you'd like to try for me." So we did that twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shhhhhh, the Wanna Be Turkey Taters are listening I like Diamond. It has some serious age. Underrated. How I enjoy Diamond the most is to blend it with WTRB 112.8. The sum of the parts far exceeds the individuals. Very tasty. Big shout out to @Kepler for inviting this delicious & creative vatting.

Jazzhead Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 For once, the beach is still and the stars are appearing like prodigal diamonds. John J. Bowman gets the call for sunset duties. An easy detail, life is good with this most classic of bourbons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'm back to the Benchmark Bonded (because it's open). I call this a quality well bourbon - you can drink without mixing with anything. It's fine for someone that wants something not too complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this wasn't where you went, Beer Baron in downtown Pleasanton has a great selection of bourbon and the pours are reasonably priced for the most part.

ratcheer Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I am getting old. Many times, my mind is thinking, "I would really enjoy a drink right now,", but my stomach replies, "No." So, with the cool Fall weather starting, last evening I poured a shot of Four Roses Single-Barrel. It was delicious, maybe one of the best bourbons I have ever tasted, with a thick mouthfeel and a wonderful, sweet flavor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Yes, I'm in the "real" South Bay lol. When I lived in Berkeley in the 1960s-1970s, I don't remember ever hearing about a northern California South Bay. Not sure when it picked up that appellation.

You’re kinda making me feel a little guilty for passing on a FRSB yesterday. Oh well. We do have to go out later. Biba! Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 My experience with FRSB is they are always at least good. Once in a while you get a barrel that stands out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may be a KY only release though. I've seen it at a couple LS here in the Baltimore metro area. Reasonably priced and a solid, cheap, pour.

Yes, a little pricey but they were a generous pour and worth it to try before spending on a bottle. Plus the Ezra was the old bottle (101 proof, IIRC) that is discontinued; Stagg Jr is rare and usually at least $100 near me; Remus is not in stores near me AFAIK (it was Repeal Reserve but I forget which Series); and I wanted to try the Belle Meade to see if it was worth buying a bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
