aquavite Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 I took my 2nd hit of WRDO (a full shot, neat, in a Glenn Carin glass). I actually liked it... perhaps even better than regular WR. Certainly different than BT, but just as enjoyable. I'm starting to get the aromas down, but we'll keep at it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Bret Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 A Father’s Day gift from one of my fabulous kids. Just one bottle in this picture opened so far. I’ll get around to opening the others sooner or later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke, several years ago it was pulled from the shelves in Europe when they discovered the level of propylene glycol it contained. It had to be reformulated for that market. I can't recall if the newer version has none, or much less. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I discovered HH discontinued this, I was on a mission to visit liquor stores in some of Indianapolis most shady neighborhoods, collecting what they had left. That was some of my last true dusty hunting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Propylene glycol is safely used in food, medicine, and other products throughout the world. Simply, some Europeans markets have different “acceptable” level percentages of it as compared to other markets, including the US. This is one of those weird false narratives that continues to be promoted, for some reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those weird false narratives that continues to be promoted, for some reason. Propylene glycol is indeed in many products. I suffered for years until an allergy doctor in Columbus, IN determined I was allergic to propylene glycol. He discovered this by putting different chemicals on my back, and seeing what caused a reaction on my skin. Knowing that I'm allergic to that has really improved my life. Any products that have propylene glycol I avoid. If I'm exposed to it, the results look like poison ivy. I'll add, when my son was a baby, he broke out in a rash after a bath. My wife and I looked at the soap we used for him and it contained propylene glycol. We changed to a different soap without that and never another rash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're terrible at describing things, but notes are below as written at the time. WFE - Nose: Brown sugar, proof, extremely bold. Palate: Sweet molasses, spice, citrus/orange peel. HH18 - Nose: Caramel, whipped cream, so much oak. Palate: Vanilla, caramel, so much oak, burned brown sugar. That whipped cream is a great note for the HH18 and I completely agree with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd99 Posted June 22, 2024 Share Posted June 22, 2024 Pulled a rando from the bunker. I dont actively collect PHC, but I’ve gotten a few over the years. Not usually a fan of anything finished, or orange flavors in brown liquid, but this one is surprisingly good, definitely exceeds my expectations 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvd99 Posted June 22, 2024 Share Posted June 22, 2024 The PHC I opened last night isn’t a daily for me, so I moved on to something within reach in my main cabinet, a sure thing…a muled bottle from a friend traveling from Japan. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
