Kepler Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 1 hour ago, Kepler said: I made up a new batch of clear cubes so I'm putting one to use. While watching some college football. Next up, Old Forester BP SiB. I normally really like this, but after the classic balanced bourbon profile of WTRB (vanilla, caramel, oak, rye spice), the OF almost tastes like cough syrup. I knew better. Next time I will definitely lead off with Old Forester because the crisp fruity notes of OF don't follow the oak and spice of the WT all that well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two I'm drinking down as finished concoctions, one leaning to the Old Forester side of things (though I don't believe it contains a drop of the stuff), and the second having a coppery BT/4R thing going. The new one, in the Frey Ranch bottle, has proven an ornery cuss but I think I tamed it with some cask strength MGP 95/5 rye. This is exploding with flavor! I'm next going to blind it with a WTKS and see who's top cat. The Solera bottle sounds fun. I need to step up my game and give it a try. Maybe a project, for those long months of January & February.

Wedelstaedt Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Tonight, I’ve been staying in the Lawrenceburg area. A nice OBSK to open up the evening, now I am enjoying The Small Batch Select. This expression, is a home run for me. I hope it is always readily available. Hail To The Cult! Cheers 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers My last pour for the evening is a 2016 SmB LE. I have been nursing this bottle for several years . It is down right delicious. It is a sentimental bottle. I have one more pour left, I will save for another day. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note - I wonder how many of us have that same Buffalo Trace rocks glass. Mine is quite a clear. The buffalo has turned brown from the inside out from use.

I like both the syrupy goodness of the OF profile and the classic WT profile, so I married them and spent much of last summer sipping a blend of 2/3 WT and 1/3 OF100. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
