Jazzhead Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 A trip to Total Wine yielded this incredible bottle of Outryder, on closeout for less than 40 bucks. This is as classic as bourbon can get( although it's a blend that isn't technically a bourbon or a rye) We're in California spending Christmas with Mrs Jazz' family, and this vanilla monster is doing its part to make things merry. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, the guy at the end of the bar was ok with you taking his picture! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did one of these some years ago and saw in the picture some fat bald guy directly across from me. Took an SBer to point out that it was ME in a mirror. Tonight, a Magruders store pick MM overproof from last year. It is still good. Yes, I always add two cubes to two ounces. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magruders. I have a feeling fat bald old guy is a defining description of our many among our membership. Yet it describes Santa. So we good. As I like to say, don't f...with jolly! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 The wife is sick and went to bed early. The dogs prefer the company of a sick her over a well me, so I am stuck trying to finish a very old Tom Clancy novel with the aid of a wee bit of Kentucky Spirit. Things could be worse. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good choice on both counts. That man was a brilliant author and sleuth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found two of these 750s in early 2017 and stumbled across a handle probably a year or so later. If you like CEHT you'd love this because it has the same exact profile. It tastes exactly like you'd think a 10 year 86 proof version of CEHT would taste. The extra aging does wonders for it. I actually love it more at 86 proof than 100. Hmm ... ... maybe I need to try some water with my CEHT SmB ... Edited December 22, 2022 by Kepler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBoner Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I first started drinking bourbon ca. 2006-2007. I did a lot of dusty hunting around Dallas at that time. OC10 wasn't even a dusty yet, but there were dusty Louisville bottles here and there. Both the Louisville and Frankfort bottlings were wonderful. Oddly, I've never had any CEHT to compare it to. OC12/90 was one of the best bourbons I ever encountered. The depth of fruit notes was unparalleled. I miss Old Charter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually love it more at 86 proof than 100. Spot on! I found it to also have a wonderful thick oily mouthfeel and nice long finish. I do like CEHT but I agree that profile sings with age. I remember balking when the price hit $20. Now, I would pay at least $21. Actually, I would pay more but within reason. I also liked it better than OC8 or the younger 101 version.
