Swore i wouldnt buy it but.. I dont like it near as much as the 6yr White label. That was a classic taste and they did not reproduce that here. This looks and tastes lighter although i know it cant be. It’s not as complex or rich to me as the 6. It has its own thing going on and its pretty good but nothing stellar. A solid pour that i will buy again if i see around $46. Cant see myself chasing this one as its good but just not that special. Not much oak but oddly a bread,yeast thing .. is that what yall call baking spices? A solid B. When the HH7 came out in CA, I bought a bottle and did a SBS with the HH6 that I traded a OE7 for. Both my friend and I thought the HH6 was better. The HH7 is ok but not worth chasing IMO and overpriced at $50. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 One of the saddest things you can do is blind a bottle with its no-longer-available predecessor. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There on a shelf behind the check out counter with the LE’s and allocated items was a bottle of Willett Pot Still. The gal knew me, and asked me what was up. I told her that the Willett had come up in a discussion I had recently. Biba! Joe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoked to try it and glad to see it enjoyed by yourself!! Couldn't talk myself in to the next price tier up Bowman yet but could be in the works You should've talked yourself into it., The John J.

I think/hope this was the last of my OF1910 bottles and I won't be replacing it. The 1792 SmB was a barrel pick from more than 5 years ago. It was solid but no better than the standard Ridgemont Reserve NAS it replaced in the 1792 lineup, according to a blind I did some time ago. That is some serious work there. Good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup! It's really, really good. I haven't seen it around here, (Baltimore Metro area), in a while. We'll be spending some time near Fredericksburg next week and hope to pick up a bottle, or two, at the distillery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Bottle of OF100 bit the dust last night. Need to hit the store this week for some wine for the wife so I hope to find a replacement. With the market getting more and more crazy for just regular bottles these days, I'm going to start collecting and wearing watches with my normal bourbon funds and drink what I have in the basement. This shit is just getting crazy these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Tonight I finished off a Jefferson's Reserve store pick from one my visits to Kentucky several years back. It was a fairly nice bottle for what it was. But more that the taste, it was a nice souvenir from a memorable trip. The fun times we have with our friends and family while enjoying the whiskey experience is so much more rewarding than the whiskey itself. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Here are two terminals who will spend the last vestiges of their dotage combined. Similar proofs, the Tempy is 95/25 MGP, full of dill and no corn. The Tumbly is the highest-rye bourbon I know of (36%), also from MGP, and makes this a knockout bourye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 The Tumble-Temp bourye. Just about 50/50. Better than the sum of its parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
