Gonna miss the start due to getting a run in, but will be home in time to catch plenty of the game. The higher proof should help make up for the delay.

Bob_Loblaw Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 OF 100 from the box set I bought. Great daily drinker. I can really see this giving WT101 a run for my most purchased DD. I personally prefer the WT profile, but this one is just so sweet and easy to drink that I think it will be more popular with the guests. Also, FWIW, the OF box set was absolutely fantastic in terms of packaging and presentation. The different colored boxes was visually nice, the cardboard was not flimsy, and each bottle also came with a little bookmark shaped insert with tasting notes. Really well done while keeping it simple and not jacking up price for extra fancy packaging. If there are any left at $55 this Friday I will probably buy at least one more. Only thing that would make it so much better is if they would let you swap out the 1920 for another Whiskey Row series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_OKC Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Well, since I began the evening with a touch of rye, it only made sense to round out the evening with a heavier touch of rye. Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many will likely be out for weeks. Hope LC is doing okay. I never got power back from the first hurricane (Laura), and it looks like it will be several more weeks before I get power where I am located. Going on over six weeks now without electricity. Costing me about $70 a day in fuel to run my house. That’s a really good bottle of bourbon I could be buying every day. For that matter even two or three good bottles of bourbon every day. And I’m drinking Mezcal tonight, sooo. Edited October 15, 2020 by LCWoody 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomLamb Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Was sipping some Willett Pot Still last night and discovered that the nose had a pretty sour smell that later opened into vanilla. Bourbon still tasted fine but was a little off-putting. Odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_OKC Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Exploring the bunker, and making it a point not to buy any additions (other than Belgian ales, whether Trappist or Abbey ales). VOB BIB. Not sure when I bought it. Probably 2014 or 2015ish. Pat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 For pre-dinner happy hour, we had classic Old Fashioneds made with one (!) ounce OGD BIB and muddled orange slice and cherry and add some rocks and simple syrup andan unmuddled cherry and some soda. I think I sipped on VOB BIB during the post-dessert phase of the evening. I don’t really remember. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Cracked this last night. I think my palate was off a little but was good. Red fruits, baking spices and a little buttered popcorn. Might be about the perfect proof for regular Maker’s. MMCS can drink a little hot for the proof sometimes. Disappointed with the screw top especially on a LE. I know the new MMCS uses the same bottle, is that a screw top now as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's just a fluke with the specific bottle of MMCS I bought, but the damned thing won't tighten up all the way. If you try to screw it on all the way, it jumps the threads & becomes loose again. Annoying for a bottle that just jumped back up to $50 here.

mbroo5880i Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Nice pour of FRSmB Select. This bottle was a gift. It is a nice enough bourbon but I prefer FRSiB. But, for tonight, this suits me just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
