Anwalt Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Well a few more bit the dust. Worked on OF Rye, WSR, A107, and 4R from thee freezer (good idea, that). Wife is in Chile for a few weeks and I brought over some Supervision to make sure I behave. The Wifey is skeptical of my choice of Supervision. But all the Supervisors all had Y-Chromosomes (is that still a thing nowadays?). She agreed that bringing over non-Y-Chromosome guests would be a Very Bad Idea. And yet....she doubts the quality of my Supervision. It's all really so very confusing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Already pictured, and now gone. Yes, the Rush Creek ended up being a drain pour. I tried a small pour again last night. No can do. Biba! Joe 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Finished off a 4R SmB from 2015. Good stuff. i sure am happy, I have several of these “older” bottles stashed away. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It has been a bottle kill kinda evening. Earlier, 4R, now Larceny BP. The Larceny has been so enjoyable, when I can, I will pick up another bottle. It had all of the beauties of wheated bourbon, softness, sweet, thick viscosity, then throw in the BP punch. A winner. Yep, I’m a fan. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Helpful friend and I finished off two that were close to empty; a Woodford Masters Collection via Manhattan and Bardstown Fusion #5. I liked the latter quite a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 My two most recent bottle kills. The 1792 SmB was the first time I'd tried it. I'd never heard many good things about so at mid $30s price point, I avoided it. But when I saw it on sale at $25, I pulled the trigger and I'm glad I did. It was pretty darned good and I'm definitely going to get another one. Along with the BiB and FP, I'm becoming Barton fan. The Nulu was also my first try. Not a SiB like most Nulu this was a small batch Calif. only release. On sale for $48, this was a fantastic MGP pour. Will probably get a couple more while it's still on sale. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I think 1792 Small Batch is a very solid bourbon. Tastes like bourbon should. I agree it would be overpriced in the mid $30s but it's a very solid value in the mid $20s which is what it typically goes for here in Tx. I've never tried the Nulu but it's all over the place here with single barrel picks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the price(s), you might want to try the parallel Kirkland offerings. Small Batch hit my Costco stores in SoCal recently for $19. First time it was out I blinded it and it was pretty close to the 1792 branded version; I slightly preferred the 1792 but I would say some would prefer the 1792, some the Kirkland, The latter had a slight smokey note that I didn't notice in the former. When the Kirkland BIB came out I didn't have a 1792 BIB to blind with, but to me, but it was very close to the Very Old Barton 100 I blinded it with. The 120 proof SiB was VERY good. The 1792 SIB I had was much lower proof so I didn't blind them, but I have twice blinded the Kirkland 1792 SiB with Smoke Wagon UCUF and an Old Ezra Distiller's Collection store pick and the Kirkland narrowly came out on top for me both times. YMMV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Killed these two today. The EC is a staple that I buy in handles and keep a good supply of (I have several bottles in the bunker that came with bundles with ECBP too). I am really not a big Buffalo Trace mashbill fan if it doesn't have "Stagg" in its name, so I "killed" this one by pouring it into my Eagle Rare bottle, then adding some Benchmark Full Proof so I could give the latter some room to breathe. Sorry if I offended any BT lovers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got Benchmark Full Proof in SoCal? I thought it was only available in the mid west. I haven't seen it here in the Bay Area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
