Wlrogers Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I’m toward the end of a bottle of EC Toasted. It’s been the most bizarre bottle I’ve ever had… one pour would be amazing and one of my favorites ever and the next pour would seem very mediocre. It’s been a wild ride 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. The Inlet Harbour pick is very good too. I don't care for the regular stuff and was very pleasantly surprised, and impressed, when I tried a sample. I bought a couple on the spot. I would've bought more, but we flew down there, (Palm Beach), and only had so much room in our luggage.

GeeTen Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Just a few sips of the entire 2022 Pappy/BTAC line last night + a sample of the WFE 9yr NCF bourbon L&K pick "All Neck Pour" as part of "Go Whiskey" week: WLW was the ultimate choice for top dog of the night - can't think of a better way to spend a cold, winter's (Mardi Gras) nite with 82 friends can you???

Grady330 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 A ECBP A122, last one but damn good. One more pour left. Saw a thread a week or so ago about the A123, any others do a tasting? Nothing here in my AO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank you're the only one that can pull this off and it not be considered SHOWING OFF. Or...ughh...well. I'm a big fan no, BIG FAN of WLW but that Pappy 20 might squeeze out #1 for me.

Clueby Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Started out the night with a tasting of ORVW, Lot B, and PVW15. Also included 2022 GTS and THH. The Lot B surprised me. While light on proof I thought it was big on flavor actually besting out the Old Rip on a rare occasion. The ORVW was a little thin and grainy. The PVW15 was way better than either with such a nice elegant depth. Added notes of leather and tobacco. The GTS was good after those wheated pours with a real punch in the face but overall it lacked some wood and depth and was sweeter than I would have liked. The THH was my surprise. It was way off profile for typical THH with cotton candy and some candy corn notes. This was the dark version of THH with raisins, leather, and spice with a realllllly long finish. I personally loved it but admit it wasn't very THH-like. A tiny but of water brought out some more sweetness and a bit of that bubblegum note. Also sampled some new 1792 bottled cocktailz..Manhattan and Old Fashioned. Wasn't a fan of either but the Manhattan was slightly better. Unusual for me since I'm more of an Old Fashioned guy. Got home and broke out the OWA. I know it's not SBS but this seems better than the ORVW or the LOT B. Some Wilderness Trail is on deck but Wednesday night is suddenly a little fuzzy so might not make it that far. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the PVW20 showed extremely well this year and place second behind the WLW. It was an exceptional bottle worth seeking out at MSRP - secondary prices are still crazy stupid (IMHO, of course), tho'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Mrs. Clueby got home from a snuggle session with the grandbaby and there went the last of the OWA. Wilderness Trail it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosmith Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Wow! This is really good. I bought it on a whim with low expectations - you don't expect your local supermarket chain to pick great barrels... Citrus and cinnamon on the nose. Very sweet and spicy on the palate. Not a trace of Beam nuttiness. Delicious. Grabbed the last bottle they had so.. when it's gone, it's gone. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done numerous barrel picks - and it is REALLY GOOD for what it is. I like the 93 shelfer for its value and availability - but the higher proof barrels are unique and tasty. They might be "Heavenly" if you are following along the alleged origin story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Kepler said, the reason is simple. As someone who has picked numerous 14 and 15yr KCSiB's I can tell you that some of the barrels in the picking lineup were not very good. When you find a good one however it tends to be great. All those reject barrels are now ending up in the KC15 blend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
