Big Rick Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I have wished that the HH BIB was available in my area for a long time. Today I was at my favorite store chatting with one of the guys about a new bourbon they got in and lamented about The HH BIB not being available. He said we have it in the back for special customers, want one? OH YEAH! Can't wait to taste it :) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this has changed but I haven't seen it on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Never seen this my part of the world. How does it compare (age, mashbill, taste/quality) with the new 90 -proof Evan Williams Small Batch, which I recently saw for the first time?

PhantomLamb Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I passed on this based on the principle of the removal of the HH6yr green label. However, for the right price and a little desperation I'd cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Rick Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Sorry for the delay, I'll try to answer all questions now. As for what else they have back there, Mostly things they want to save for people that would truly appreciate it like Weller 12 etc. I've not had the EW small batch 90 so I can't offer an opinion. So I tasted right after I posted and I like it a lot. It is definitely a sipper neat in my opinion. I am having a taste right now as I grill a couple fillets. Was it worth the pining? Sure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Rick Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 I was a bit surprised that it was so sweet as it had a high rye content rather than a wheated mash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been my experience, that young Bourbon usually is sweet, due to the corn & lack of age. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
