PaulO Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 I had the first pour from a FRYL 1.75L - so good. That big bottle is something to handle when it's full. I better see if I can make it a little lighter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I'm back to trying to finish off some low-fill bottles. Currently a 'Rocklin Chair' batch of Booker's. Down to about two more pours. Wish me luck. Ha! It's a nice pour; but, I have plenty! Very enjoyable over a small cube.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz June Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Fresh cracks of a Weller Antique handle with a screw cap followed by a Kaiyo Japanese whiskey single barrel selected by a group I am in. Pretty big contrast, one very familiar the other very different from my norm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for Summer to get REALLY oppressive. Instead, I am sipping on some JD BIB with a couple cubes (like, the third pour on these cubes). NO banana notes although it is interfering with my ability to focus on a “Sister Boniface” mystery on PBS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 As I walked out the door, I noticed the waning moon and (I believe) Venus in the darkening sky this summer solstice so I poured a nice glass of Russell's Reserve SiB and sat on the front porch and marveled for a bit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Penelope as my #1 and BH Toast last. The Oak & Eden was by far the darkest of the bunch. It's a bit hard to make out in the pic: Micther's>ECT>Penelope>O&E>Bridle&Bit>Daviess>BHT>Bridge&Main. I know this is an older thread, and I apologize, but have many of you tried the Oak and Eden? It was a choice one qtr from my SiB club, it was the reason I quit the club. It tastes like a combination of bourbon, licorice and sweat socks. Whatever Amburana wood is, I hope there aren't too many trees left. I tried to give this bottle away, no takers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their margins were incredible, I was tempted. Take so-so sourced stuff, drop a bit of oak in, create some finishes, cheap. Excellent distribution. In could not drink any of it straight, including the award winners (The cabernet finished one & the honey-wheat if memory serves). Quietly poured some in the bathroom when it was empty and went for cocktails. More bitterness than election losers on either side of the aisle. I do not understand the appeal. The novelty? Yes. The numbers? Sure. The taste. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, was the bottle shape distinctive, and was the bottle heavy? Was the back story interesting? Like, did nuns smuggle it out of Kentucky under their habits? Taters need to know this stuff, so fill us up. BTW, Wash Post had an article about celebrity tequila which is like celebrity vodka and celebrity whiskey or liqueurs. Take basic spirit and add flavors, a cute bottle, a celeb name, and a premium price and let the cash roll in. Article said George Clooney and his partners sold their tequila brand to Diageo for an astronomical sum. The boom hasn’t peaked in distilled spirits, yet, but prices from the majors on legacy brands do seem to have stabilized. So for me Oak and Eden is a pass. Thanks for taking the hit for us all.

I just thought I'd show a little leg first, before the real show got started. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
