Harry in WashDC Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Finished off the dregs (one plus ounce) of the JD BIB liter I bought on impulse and, while watching “Poirot”, I am sipping on OGDBIB. No surprise there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Finally, had a non-dumpster fire day at the office. So, instead of going for the general pain medicine, I reached around for a good one. GBS EC12 is that. One. More. Day… 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioyada Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Decided on a pour of Four Gate Kelvin collaboration 2 while waiting for the Braves / Dodgers game to start. Let the Chop begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Went to a OldFo tasting tonight. For $20 you got samples of all 3 OF150th batches and a sample of their latest store pick. Also got to purchase the store pick for additional $80. They did a drawing for someone to get their bottle free (I didn't win). I plan on doing a SbSbS this weekend. I had tried 150th batches 1 and 3 before but I liked batch 2 the best. I thought the store pick was better than all 3 of the 150. I also find that, as with most OldFo products, a little water really opens them up. It happens more with their brand for me than pretty much any other brand. The store pick really gained some depth and a chocolate richness with some water. Edited October 22, 2021 by Clueby 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Cleaned up leaves for about 4 hours. Just came in and poured some 1792 BiB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G L Tirebiter Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I'll pour a little of the same in your honor. No leave raking though. We are at the beach so it was lots of blowing sand for a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzhead Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Thought I'd expose the Bardstown Fusion series batch #4 I picked up in Chicago to some beach air. This is ridiculously drinkable, at a perfect 95 proof . The 40 percent that's 13 years old dominates the finish, while the relatively youthful BBC grains that make up the rest of it add flavor and spice. The nose is like a velvet fog of Wild Turkiness. May this Indian summer weather last at least another day; this is a perfect accompaniment to the soft breeze coming off the dark water. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the pours in the glasses from the tasting? Those look quite generous! Sounds like a great time. I would have been all in on this if it were held in Indy.

Jazzhead Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The Sixers are up six on the Nets midway through the fourth quarter. Unlike Ben Simmons, I'm mentally prepared to root this team home, with my bud John J. Bowman to assist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
