All the Distiller talk plus comparisons to KC led me to mix a cocktail. Carefully measure 1 part ice, 1 part KC (preferably a good SP), and 1 part Distillers Cut. Let simmer for about 1 minute-then enjoy! Yum yum fresh roasted peanuts. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A way to stretch the remaining JBDC - that's a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 After emptying a couple low-fill Bourbons within the last weex and, after seeing Face Plant's Pic a few posts above, I decided to open a Jim Beam Distiller's Cut for the rotation. I had a small pour after cutting the lawn, and another over a small cube a few minutes ago. I hafta say, this is a damned fine pour! A really rich mouthfeel, full bodied and right in the Beam wheelhouse, which to me is always better at higher proof and/or with more time in a barrel. I think I'll sign off here and pour one more nice one neat of JBDC. I'm burning through it faster than I'd like; but, I have a few more backed up, and Bourbon is for DRINKING! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Welp.....some New Riff 8 year BiB in the glass to help ease the pain of a tough start for the Caps. Hopefully my other Washington team will fare better tomorrow. The cat isn't to thrilled with the game either 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's 10 years old. Years ago, they yanked some seats out of FedEx field. My Goddaughter worked for the Skins at the time and snagged me a pair. I also got a piece of the original Jumbotron when they replaced it... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double C's Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 had a pour of a ECBP store pick at 130.6pf last night to cap off a successful weekend hunting trip. Took my 8yr old son along for the first time and he got to experience what it is all about. It was an added bonus that I was able to harvest a deer yesterday morning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadeweber Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 VW Lot B was really hitting on all cylinders last night. So much so that I had a second. Haha This is not one that I typically love, in fact I prefer ORVW 10 as I know others do as well, but it tasted great last night. The bottle is about half full. I have been thinking more and more about fill level/oxidation and its influence on taste recently. I guess it started a few months ago after I had the last couple pours of a bottle of Pappy 20 that sat with only that much left for maybe 9 months or so. It tasted flat and without depth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markandrex Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Some WLW the day after my first cataract removal with lens replacement, right eye down, left eye in a week. Outside of a headache, very pleasant. Only flashes of light during the surgery. I was driving today. The liquor store staff looked at me strangely as I had popped the right lens out of my glasses to allow for the changes. It is remarkable to think that in about a week I will be without glasses for the first time in about 55 years. Cheers! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 On a work trip out of town. The hotel pours is from my flask bottle which had a bit of WT101 and I topped it off with VOB 100 before leaving the house. This makes a very nice blend, both components stellar on their own yet they also play well together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes a very nice blend, both components stellar on their own yet they also play well together. Yup! Not every 'nice' pour goes well when mixed with another 'nice' pour; but, once in a while a blend such as you've tried here does work. "Once in a blue moon" one can even strike 'gold' trying this sort of thing and obtain a blend that exceeds either of its components. Doing small trial blends like this can be fun, even if it doesn't yield a big winner; and the chance at a fabulous outcome makes it a gamble worth taking, IMO. I've had a few that worked out really well. One that comes to mind is this: OGD BiB mixed with Old Fitz BiB (not those new high-end decanters just the old-time cheapo stuff), 60/40 in favor of OGD. It came out with a slightly sweeter-but-still-spicy mixture of the best of both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I dug to the back of the bar and pulled out a Blanton’s. By the dust layer, it has been awhile. I poured a large glass while the wife is adding some Halloween decor to the inside of the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
