Clueby Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Mrs. Clueby picked the Friday night pour. It was between this PS and EC18. This pick was overpriced, but stellar. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, but I think I’ll be leaning towards the OF 86 in the future. I reckon you can teach an old dog new tricks. Biba! Joe Yes you can if the old dog is smart enough! I preferred the 86 to the 100 at a Brown Forman tasting I went to last year. But I have a couple of OF100 bottles to work through including a liter size before I'll be buying a bottle of the 86. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim would know about a kitchen better than I would. He did the recon. Back on topic - finished the night with a couple of wee pours of open StaggJrs from the Bunker: Batch #6 (Spring 2006) 132.5 pf and Batch #16 (Summer 2021) 130.9 pf (I wondered where that one went). The Batch #6 was still drinking hot, hot, hot - it was my 1st go-around with StaggJr and about to be dumped when I found @dSculptor's blend.. Guess I have to re-fill that decanter. The Batch #16 was as "smooth as a warm summer breeze." Yummo. Edited March 6, 2022 by GeeTen 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER, a splash in a pour of ER10, is magic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animals drank a whole bottle in less than 1 night of de-briefing. Had to slink my other bottle back to the room to save it for our Mizzou gathering next week.

Kepler Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) I had some "back label" EC12 , which we forget sometimes how great that product (EC12 Small Batch) used to be. In my opinion it was THE best value on the shelf when I first discovered this hobby. EC SmB NAS is still a fine product in relation to today's competition, but one sip of this 12 year reminds you that the current bottling is a shell of its former self. (l'm not including privately selected choice single barrel bottlings which is a different discussion altogether). The oak in the EC12 was really working for me, so I'm continuing on the oak train with a pour of KC12. Very similar bourbons actually. If anything, these two pours perhaps best illustrate the state of bourbon in 2022 versus circa 2015-16. Both high quality bourbons but one was an everyday shelf bottle found at any liquor store for $30ish and the other is over twice that price and hard to find.
