Good bye little Feller I've never seen a New Riff shorty. I'm guessing the hotel is in Kentucky? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Killed a Woodford Wheat Whiskey (really a 4 grain) tonight. It's my first "Sunday night ritual" post covid. I really love this stuff, but I seem to be in the minority. The apple and pear fruit notes really work on winter nights for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like New Riff, and most of the stuff that they put out. A friend of mine, who lives within walking distance of New Riff, picks me up a few bottles when it goes on sale. Last time I was in Kentucky, they had it on sale at a liquor store next to a Kroger's. Something like $35.00 a bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayouredd Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Open & shut case; smokin' glass found next to body... Easy enough to replace, not as good as most Sibs but consistently good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Yesterday I had to put this horsie down. He started off slow with a bit too much oak flavor, but he finished strong down the stretch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we have to do is find you one (was this a hint???)! No, that wasn't a hint, but that would be a nice one to open for our 13th Anniversary for sure!! Finding one at an affordable price is going to be the big challenge. I have a bottle of Old Fitz 13yr downstairs that I have been thinking will be the suitable celebratory pour later in the year. At least I have until October to make a decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_OKC Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Just poured the last drop from my final Lake Charles Lake Street Liquor FR SB Barrel Strength that I picked up while commuting there in 2014. I think LC Woody probably snagged a few of these as well, before I managed to of course. Ha. I just finished cataract surgery this month on both eyes. Damn cool. A dental cleaning is more invasive, and I no longer need to wear glasses after wearing since the fourth grade (1962). Pat Subsequent edit: Well holy shit. One more benefit from cataract surgery, and from advancing years: I just updated my bunker inventory spreadsheet (yes, I am one of those), to note the demise of this bottle, and it turns out that I have ONE MORE in stock. Yahoo!!! Edited January 25, 2021 by Patrick_OKC update 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgtspitter101 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Killing off a stagg jr batch 14 with a bigger pour than i anticipated. Not a favorite of mine at all but a pour or 2 a month was interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yahoo!!! It took a few months to talk Mrs Sue into getting a barrel of 4R’s because back then Lake St. didn’t move a lot of SmB and SB 4R’s. That was a really good barrel, and once she got it in and saw how fast it moved, I never had to talk her into it again. Not to bore y’all, but a little story about “Its just bourbon” on the bottle. The 4R’s rep said you can put a shot message on the bottle, (Mrs Sue is a straight forward, no nonsense, tell you like it is person. You never have to wary about what she is thinking.) so Mrs Sue, her husband and I were brainstorming what to put on the bottles and after a few minutes she said “I don’t have time for this, I don’t know what the big deal is, it’s just bourbon.” At the same time her husband and I looked at each other and said that’s it, “It’s just Bourbon”. Then we talked her into putting “Sue” after her saying. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you were hit pretty hard. How about Hokus Pocus? Looks like their websites are up. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) 4R OBSF finished off before dinner. Fortunately it has a few siblings in the bunker, somewhere. Edited January 28, 2021 by markandrex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Nut Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Finished off a Knob Creek Single Barrel from Ace Spirits. Nice caramel, leather, baking spices. Rather linear and small scaled for 120 proof, a good and not so good thing. Refined, and classy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 My first ever bottle of Blanton's. I can see why people love this and I can see why people hate on it. It's not a huge tongue punch but sooo balanced and, dare I say it, elegant. If you're looking for a tongue punch, you'll be disappointed. But, if you want something to sip and savor, this does it for me. It's a bit on the level with WSR but way more complex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokinjoe has been referring to it that way since about 2014 or so. And I agree. Those of us who hate on it do so not because it doesn't deliver a tongue punch but because as a single barrel product it too often is a sub par barrel. When you find a good one? Fantastic! When you don't? Bleh! Seems like nowadays there are too many bleh barrels. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I can stick to buying Loch & K(e)y picks of Blanton's (albeit at a premium!) - helps eliminate "bleh" barrels. I know who to yell at and throw things towards if they pick a bad one! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
