Solomon2 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Fanta Wild Cherry Slurpee, 40oz, $1.53 at 7-11. I wonder, though, if mixing a little Old Forester in would improve it. I feel 1792 wouldn't work, and I wouldn't risk my WR on the experiment. Anyone ever try it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clbrosch Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Last two nights I've had a very tasty pour of the Wild Turkey Rare Breed. delicious with a slight spice burn. Just a hint of the oak and charcoal in there.If you had asked me on New Years Eve we had a party at my house and I "Busted out" the collection. we had stocked the party bar withVWSR (750 ml)Eagle rare 10 (2 @ 750 ml)Eagle rare 17 (750 ml)Elijah Craig 12(two handles)Elijah Craig 18 (750 ml)Makers (750 ml)Also bunch of vodka and wine and bubbly and beer for the rest of the folks.by the end of the night we had 1/2 the Makers and 1 full handle left of the EC12.The EC18 is still 2/3 full it had the hardest time.I enjoyed the ER17 the most that evening.

CrispyCritter Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 First, a pour of EWSB '96, then a Fall '05 Stagg - nice pours for a cold night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Two pours so far this evening. First some IW Harper 15 YO (this is eighty proof stuff from the old "Bourbon Heritage Collection") . Dunno know what all that aging did for this light bourbon, but it's balanced, smooth and tasty. I guess that's what it did! A neat thing is the bottle, which looks like a Weller Antique bottle except it's got all this gold "lint" all over it. Next was a Bellows Club, also 80 proof and six years old. I paired this with the Harper because they first time I tried it, I was impressed with its balance. It remains a worthwhile pour, straightforward and causing no pain. Neither of these sent steam out my ears, but each hit the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightwhiskeyruffneck Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 AAA, and the first time having it. i enjoy the regular ancient age, but this stuff blows it out of the water! an exelent pour for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty Glass Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The sun is setting, the snow is falling and the wind is howling and my bunker bottle, A2222, of PVW23 was just delivered via UPS. Now, safely stored away in its black velvet blanket, I pulled the seal on its sister, bottle A1926 and poured a generous ration of this special nectar. The wonderful sweet aroma is wafting from my glass and filling the room as I set a fire and pull up my old chair. Life doesn't get much better. I toast to you SB and to all your wisdom.

Solomon2 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Just cracked open a 750ml bottle of Old Forester 86 I bought on sale last year for $7.99 plus tax. Nice! Reminds me of the 1792 in its acid feel in the mouth, but OF is a tad sweeter and lighter, and the afterburn is pronounced though not unpleasant, and certainly not painful like JB 4yr. For the price, I paid, I guess it can't be beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Ok..first off..thanks to Chuck King...very beyond the required or expected help.:bowdown: I tried the Fleischmann's Rye...very nice pour over ice. I wish it wasn't in plastic...but I'm not gonna let that influence my taste buds. 80 proof is mighty fine for just having fun.My question...is there a really bad rye?

Old Lamplighter Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Started the evening with the current BOTM, OGD BIB.....very enjoyable and easy to sip neat - my favorite way with bourbon.

I wish it wasn't in plastic...but I'm not gonna let that influence my taste buds. 80 proof is mighty fine for just having fun.My question...is there a really bad rye?Well. I haven't managed to snag a Fleishman's or a Pikesville, but from what I've had JB Rye is about as bad as it gets, and even that seems to have its good points. It really shows how good a young rye can be, even though it is a bit raw, it does exhibit many traits of what to expect.disclaimer:rye is my passion, and the whole reason I got into collecting bottles of American whiskies. At one point rye comprised more than 20% of my collection, only the thought of missing out on some of my favorite bourbons and the fact that there are so few ryes, brought that back into balance with what the current market share is.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesbassdad Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've not been drinking much lately. It was a week into the new year before I broke the ice, figuratively speaking, with PVW 15. I can't imagine why I dissed this one at first tasting. I still have a few sips of ORVW 15, which I should sip alongside the replacement one of these days.Tonight I reached for one of my own dusty bottles, Blanton's. This bottle has somewhat of a bell-shaped cork such that it doesn't seal tightly when fully inserted. Perhaps some evaporation or even some oxidation accounts for the fact that it tastes better tonight than I remember. However, it remains on my DNR list.Yours truly,Dave Morefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
