You strike me as a kind of guy who when you drink alone, you prefer to be by yourself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was fresh. I had some post dinner help from my brother. Been awhile since I've had the 10 year. I will say however that I have really enjoyed the current Old Fitz line. Prost!!

So Heaven Hill bean counters are following the Brown-Forman bean counters' lead. This is how they will make the transition: introduce the smaller shrinkflation 700mL size in new coveted releases and after awhile consumers will simply get used to it. Eventually after so many 700mL bottles are on liquor store shelves and accepted by consumers, then the big selling staple products (JD7, EW Black, MM, etc.) will make the switch. It's amazing how quickly that 700mL bottles have already started to take hold in the scotch aisles. Bourbon is headed that direction too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Today's pour is the third trial of Cooper's Craft. The first and second came during what was most likely a low-grade sinus infection. The ugly drainage resulted in making the whiskey bear an unfortunate, strong resemblance to DayQuil cold medicine. This is definitely not a sweetie-pie dessert dram to my tasting. A little hot to begin, lots of orange rind and a bit of brown sugar, and a significant oak tannin at the finish, like an actual quick lick of a board would produce. I know my tasting notes are inferior, as I usually have a hard time finding suitable comparables to what my mouth is sensating (eat your heart out, Norm Crosby), but I did say in the Cooper's Craft RIP thread that I would report my findings. When it comes down to the nitty gritty of it all, I probably would not buy another of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would align to the standard for Europe which I understand also has a 700ml bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
