Maybe I'll check it out at some point. My wife and I watched the final 4 episodes of some History channel miniseries I had recorded about the rise of the Ottoman Empire, how the Turks conquered Constantinople. It was fairly good and worth our time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything with that on it always looks great. Especially the old bottles Plus I'm just a nerd. I have a lots of branded whiskey glasses so I typically reach for one that matches my pour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcbt Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Lately I've been guzzling a Barrell store pick. The label indicates it is a 7 year old all Kentucky distillate. No clue the ultimate source, but boy howdy it is salty caramel deliciousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomLamb Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Finished off my only bottle of WSR with my old man last night. Not sure if it was the effect of drinking out of a snifter as opposed to my Norlan glasses, but this really opened up nicely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to the extent of Beam peanuts or Daniels bananas but still quite a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayouredd Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Started with a MM101 (nice), moves to whatever was in infinity bottle (not bad), now on bottle ending FAE-01. 1st time that I like it to an extent. Very good hazelnut frontend, but the finish was very long, but kerosene. Glad it's done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, I poured some BT Bourbon Cream and settled in to watch a PBS documentary about Ella Fitzgerald. WOW! Absolutely amazing. Biba! Joe You know my wife? She picks the shows we watch, and you hit two of her recent picks. TONIGHT! It is sips from an ER 10star neckband I stumbled upon a couple days ago. But, I started with Baker's. Recently, an SBer has gifted me a couple Bakers including an 11 yr 8 mo. store pick. SO! I sipped on an old basic Baker's while entering tax info in H&R Block. I ABSOLUTELY need to drink when dooing so. I did two OZ of Bakers 7 yr. with a cube (taking it to about 104 proof and then switched to the ER which caught my eye when I put the dregs of the Bakers back. WHY the switch? GOT to stay coherent for dinner. NOTES on the current basic ER - more fruit than was present in 2015 when I first decided to stop buying ER - not interesting back then, just spicy. This current batch has a nice mellow oakey note - not too harsh like some ETLs I've had given its likely age. On a blind tasting, I'd have guessed closer to eight years than ten. Alcohol bloom is surprisingly bracing since this is a 90 proof. Again, in a blind tasting, I'd have guessed it was a BIB. Second (or is this the third??) series of sips treated me to some creamy mouthfeel. I have a few personal potholes/risks/downsides I have avoided recently, so I'm using that dexterity as a reason to reward myself and compare this basic ER to a neckband "Aged 10 Years" I recently unearthed from the bunker - one of whi9ch made it to the SBer who gave me the Baker's. If I stay wake long enough to actually type some notes, I'll share them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) The last pour of Old Fitz BiB 9 year decanter before bed. The Fall 2018 version. The nose on this is sublime - I actually enjoy nosing it more than the tasting. This was an excellent bottle.

lemonman Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Cracked a Baker's SmB for the first time, very enjoyable. Definitely different profile than KC, more like a refined Distiller's Cut. Too bad it's so pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 This is unique enough to make an impression. It's VERY dependent on what I have before it. If its my first pour (like tonight), I get a crisp apple note with a lot of oak. If I have a heavier bourbon first it tastes sour and bitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
