Anwalt Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 It's been awhile since I've had it. Going to give it a few more tries to see if it's grown on me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a regular buyer of this when it was in the $40-$45 range and enjoyed it quite a bit. Last one I picked up was $55, and that was the last. Now I see it for $80-$90 and walk right by. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 First bottle pour of some OF 1920. Work night so may be the only one (although keep stealing glances at an open Barrell Bourbon batch 034 . . . so maybe one more ) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even seen it in a lottery lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamMatt Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Attended a tasting event last night hosted by West Coast Whiskey Club and sponsored by Bardstown Bourbon Company. Three reps from Bardstown spoke about the offerings and we tasted both of the new Origin series, Fusion 7, Discovery 8, and the Collaborative Series with WVABarrel Co cherry oak barrels. And had a nice steak dinner. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 OF Statesman on a clear cube, while on the front patio after returning from an afternoon of NCAA hoops watching at the Battery. What a finish for Furman! Statesman really is one of my favorite bourbons, and holds up very nicely with ice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp55 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I'm watching some golf on TV this afternoon (the Valspar PGA event going on about 15 miles from my house; my wife and I have tickets for Sunday's round), and decided to whomp up some Old Fashioneds (one of our cocktail favorites). I usually use one of my cheaper bourbons for these, especially EW 1783, but found (to my surprise!) that I didn't have enough of that to make drinks for both of us. So, I rooted around a little in the cabinet to see what I could see. I found a bottle of WTRB 116.8 that had only a couple of inches or so left in the bottle and thought "why not?". So, I am here to tell you...wow! What a great Old Fashioned! I encourage you to try it. This whiskey does a great job of powering through to assert its flavor while still letting the bitters do their thing. High enough proof to provide some oomph, too. I like it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Watching the NCAA games and having a few pours. Decided tonight would be a BIB night. First up was J W Dant BIB. Second in the glass was EW BIB and now I have some Early Times BIB. They're all good but right now the edge goes to the Early Times. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_OKC Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I have one OFBB 2011 left, as well as one 2012 and 2013. After finding those in consecutive years in the wild, I have not seen hide nor hair of any more. Working the 2011 down tonight. Pat 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one bottle of this left in the bunker and have been putting off opening it knowing I'll never see it again. It's the one that has 'Caramel coloring added' on the back label, lol.

Better than I expected. Finished up with a last pour of JD SBBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double C's Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 not bourbon at the moment, but since it's St. Patty's I am having some redbreast 12. The next pour will be a bourbon though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'll have to look at mine in the bunker to see if any of my labels say that. Some of mine have the label design shown in Clueby's photo and some of mine have the label with the shiny bright gold trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
