ratcheer Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Just a quick tasting note on my EWSB '91.Last night, I tried it again for the third time. This is probably blasphemous, but I had about 2 oz in a medium glass with about six ice cubes. And, boy, did the flavors come out! It was totally delicious, every bit as good as my EC 12, which I had quickly learned to drink on the rocks because of its firey nature.This seems to be a pattern, for me. All of the Heaven Hill bourbons (my current bottles are EWSB '91, Elijah Craig 12-yr, and EW Black 90 proof) are much more enjoyable on the rocks. They are very dry and "thin" taken straight, but adding ice brings out their rich flavors.I had thought that the EWSB would be of a quality for only sipping straight, but that has not proven to be so.Just my humble opinion,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest **DONOTDELETE** Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 I agree with you Tim. While I do all my serious tasting neat, I do all my serious drinking 'on the rocks'. Linn Spencer Have Shotglass. Will Travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcheer Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Just this afternoon, I finished my bottle of EWSB '91. May it rest in peace. My wife and children are out for a while, so I looked in the cabinet. I took down my EWSB, seeing that it was almost gone. I decided to finish it. This came to a pretty large drink, probably 2 1/2 oz. I added ice cubes and settled down with a good book I have been reading, "Red Rabbit" by Clancy. The whiskey was very good. I still note the traditional corn and rye flavors. Maybe a hint of citrus. A very satisfying drink. I wish there was more, but it is gone.
