Cheers After another pour of the MMCS, I've since had EWSiB 2005 & a BT PS. Three distilleries, all tasty & great in their own way.

Wedelstaedt Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Onto Barrell Bourbon SiB PS. A 13yr. Like it, no Yabba Dabba Doo here, even though all TN distillate.

Wedelstaedt Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Final pour for the evening. WT MK Decades. Man, oh man, this Whiskey just knocks it out of the park for me. For many, I think it flew a little under the radar. Luckily for me, as I have bunkered a few of these bottles for a nice price. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven s Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 23 hours ago, fishnbowljoe said: I started the evening with a small pour (last of the bottle) of ER. Next up was a pour of my 2018 Weller Blend. (My bottle of this is getting quite low.) Bending to peer pressure, OF 100 in the glass now. As far as sweet treats go, no brownies here, but we did make a couple of batches of hot cocoa fudge earlier today. Of course we had to quality test the batches. I’m having a couple of pieces with my OF 100 as I type this. Biba! Joe am I seeing a couple of squares of fudge on the upside-down glen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Sweeter than I remember. Typically, the older Beams age that out to my palate. This is good. I swear, I still see this in stores occasionally! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I figured it was needed since there are rumors of this one soon being a label of the past. 6yr 90 proof is just a fantastic pour. Tonight's music was inspired by @Keplermentioning Don Williams in the What's got your ear thread. Nice and easy country music from the 70's and 80's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Very glad to see Friday coming tomorrow! A pour of ECBP A121 to take a little of the sharp edges off tonight, so I can be cool going in to Friday. Initial impressions of this release is just ho-hum at this point. Seems a bit thin, and without the richness of many previous ECBP releases. But, not anywhere near a final verdict at this time. Tomorrow is a new day, and who knows what I’ll get then! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Spent a good portion of the day helping the widow across the street and her family load up a moving truck. Her husband passed a few months ago and she has decided to move closer to the kids and grandkids. We have a few more loading days, one trip a day to Lexington. I am strictly on this end of the labor gang. We should be finished by Monday/Tuesday, trying to beat some more winter weather heading in. A large pour of WTKS warehouse O for medicinal purposes. Never had a O before this bottle. A very nice profile. I may let it open up after this for a little while. .

SouthATL Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I’ve been hitting the ECBP A121 the past week and decided I needed to tone down the proof a bit. Started the night with HM10 which I haven’t had in probably 5 years. Better than I remember but maybe that’s because I paid $25 more for the bottle this time. Followed that up with an ER which never disappoints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did give it a solid Round 2 last night. It’s not a bad whiskey by any means, and honestly, it doesn’t have any flaws...though my initial comments may suggest that. The thinness I detected has turned out to be less apparent than what I first observed. But, this release is more subdued and less layered in its flavor profiles than some other ECBPS I’ve had. It is still very good, however. ECBP’s terrific track record in outstanding class leading releases every year, has perhaps caused me to set an unrealistically high bar for it that not reaching is not necessarily reason for voicing disappointment. Because, I certainly was not disappointed. I’ll still finish it quickly, and would pick up a second! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I like about the lower proof releases A121, B519, and B520, is that what you call subdued, my palate takes as smooth. On the higher proof releases like C919, what I taste is that peppery afterburn with a hint of gasoline. I don't like that as much, as I find myself sipping these neat. I also find with the lower proofs is that even thoiugh I take fairly small pours, half the bottle is gone in a c.ouple of days. So I usually end up buying 2-3 bottles of the lower proof releases, as opposed to 1 and done with the higher proofs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
