By far the best KC I've ever tasted was a 14 year barrel pick. It was even better than the 15 year picks I've tasted. Cheers Interesting that a lot of KC fans seem to think that KC 15 is overoaked but 14-15-yr old KC picks are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't wrapped my head around the Tears of Leorna yet, it's good though, but not worth the price of admission so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 WT101. Simple, yet complex. Available, affordable, acceptable. I give it a AAA rating. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy bought a bottle and we were all excited to try it but we all thought it was good but not worth it. We kept hearing good things about and thought maybe an off bottle so I just got one myself so we can try again. We much preferred the Tapatio Excelencia and G4 Extra Añejo that evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Four Roses single barrel. Love the nose on this. Chalk it up to my relative lack of experience, but I think this is the one bourbon you could pour for me and I could identify blind. Got an early breakfast date with family tomorrow, so I told LOML I would limit myself to one pour. Should have picked something I didn't like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it's interesting on the surface but we are really talking about two very different products here. One is a 100 proof large batched product (we're talking about Beam here so their batches are surely larger than most) versus a hand-picked single barrel at 120 proof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked to the mailbox and back without a cane/crutches. That is a first in 8 months. No marathons but I will take a small victory. This is the result of a significant high ankle sprain with ligament damage last July. ... Wow 8 months! Glad you are back to walking unaided. Cheers to continued progress on your full way back! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Sipping on the last bit of a WTKS PS, from 2015. Always a winner. Cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjbarth Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Moved my oldest daughter out of the house today (her choice). Spent an hour in the hot tub drinking a bunch of large WT101 and peach tea over ice to re-hydrate/re-energize while in the hot water. Now relaxing with a nice pour of FR SmBS in a FR tasting glass from the distillery tasting room. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anwalt Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) One of those days. Makes me think of Susana Hoffs, a good thing. But Manic Monday...not so good. Started the 2 at 4 at 3. Will recount Adventures in Bringing lots of alcohol into Puerto Rico (where the laws are a secret until they are used against you) later on. <sigh>.

Thomm Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Small pour of JD Single Barrel Select tonight. This stuff is growing on me. I think it would pair perfectly with banana cream pie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I will stop using alcohol to cope with less than perfect days (they all are). Granted, that 2 ounces goes a lonnnnng way. PS: I'm presently an hour ahead of EST.
