flahute Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Revisiting an old favorite - JDSiBBP. It's a brand new bottle that I purchased today. Damn this is good. Why did I wait so long to reacquaint myself? I must still suffer from the anti JD bias that we all carry with us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Earlier this evening I had a couple pours of 1792 SmB PS Oklahoma Bourbon Lovers to celebrate an Oklahoma Sooners victory over the Texas Longhorns. Sipping on ECBP 136.0 now with a little water. Super fine bourbon. This batch is one of my fave ECBP, it has a homemade vanilla ice cream note that is simply delicious.

Might this be the best truly "always available to everyone" bottle out there? Old Forester 1920 and RRSiB also come to mind, but the JDiBBP seems to have a little something extra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a big Sooners fan here! That ECBP 136.0 is one of my "on deck" bottles. It's been a couple of months since I emptied my last ECBP and your post makes me want to open up a new one. As the saying goes... So many bourbons, so little time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many bourbons, so little time... It was crazy. I'm sure those watching without a dog in the fight, probably enjoyed the back and forth. For me, I was on the edge of my seat the entire game. Beating Texas was a little salve on this season. Boomer! All of the ECBPs I've tried have been good, with the 136.0 proof batch and B517 standing out for me.

WD40 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Opened up a bottle of Johnny Drum Private Stock last night, very unique. It stood alone on the shelf, and maybe for a reason, but for the price <$27, figured why not. After pour the nose is very strong as if it missed ageing, dropped in a large ice cube and headed to the fire pit. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes while the fire was getting going and the cigar was lit. I am by no means going to act like I can extract each note and use adjectives to lure one in or away. Summed up, the strong alcohol smell dissipated after resting, small first sip and my mind said maybe a hint of licorice combined with vanilla and I said this is almost like a dessert bourbon, then the spice hit and lingered, but so strong rub your tongue on the bottom of your teeth, yet. To me, I'll keep this in rotation, give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 With a rare day off on a Monday, I am enjoying a Sunday evening pour. For the occasion, I chose a good one. WTMK Decades. This Bourbon just shouts Wild Turkey. I think it is by far the best of the Master's Keep series. IMHO. Cheers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved your avatar - how many old-timers would recognize a genuine wood lax stick (hickory, maybe?) with a traditional gut wall and leather/bootstrap webbing for the cradle? But I guess they still make them for purists, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGriff Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Gotta say this is a pretty good pour. After seeing a couple of good reviews I thought I’d give it a spin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Just poured a drink of Weller 12 to enjoy while watching the Braves / Dodgers game. Should be an exciting series. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoilerinIL Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Drinking the new version of Jim Beam Single Barrel. This is 108 proof and mid-$30's. It's not bad but not a favorite. Since it's single barrel, maybe I got an average one. Anyone had this and find it to be really good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This is the first BS 4R pick I ever tried. I bought this in April 2017, when the gift shop still had all 10 recipes available to buy. I knew very little about the recipes at that time. A lady recommended OESF, so i grabbed it. I need to get moving on finishing this since it's been open so long. These days the F yeast is with the O as my least favorite, but this bottle still holds a special place in my bourbon heart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I will have enough to last through the series, but if the Braves make it to the WS I will have to go beg a bottle from someone. Great game last night.

StarSurfer55 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Closed up the RV today. End to another season. Brought most of my stash home. Left a few bottles in the RV. All over 50 proof so they should be safe from freezing. Sad to end another season. Had some ER tonight to note the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Two very nice pours for me tonight. Had a work "meeting" to attend and managed to have a pour each of GTS and THH from 2019 on the company dime. Both were very good and dare I say, the THH to be a touch better on the palate this evening. Either way, a great night with some great whiskey and I didn't have to pay for any of it. Well.....not until I am in the office tomorrow morning and back to the grind. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
