burbankbrewer Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 ORVW 10 year old. Anyone out there who has tried it and would comment on it ?I just bought the ORVW 90 for $20 cause they didn't have the 107 and thought I'd try it. It has a good carmel nose and light carmel flavor. Nothing remarkably good or bad. I'd give it a 90 score. I like Buffalo Trace better and it's $5 cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtoys Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Going out to dinner w/ 3 other couples including 2 other bourbon drinkers (and Pappy fans,too) Sat night via limo to Joe's Stone Crab. Bought a Pappy 20 today for the ride. Hopefully, we can convince man #4 to join us.Women will drink Mumm DVX Sparkling, one we found on our last Napa trip.

shyster512 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 The ORVW I bought was the 107 proof (10 yr old). I paid $30.00. Seemed high for a ten year old, but it is hard to find any Winkle here this time of year. Looking forward to sipping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBoner Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 OGD 114.WT Rye.If I ever run out of either, shoot me and let my wife collect insurance.I'm stocking my bunker. I have loads of dusties, and have decided to gather a few extra bottles of some favorites. Some big financial changes are looming, but I have the money now to lay in store a handful each of some true must-haves. The above more than fit that description.

F399SF Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Lo and behold my local ABC had three bottles of Wild Turkey Rye. I picked one up and DAMN were you guys right about it. I went back and got the remaining two and a bottle of Baby Saz. Thanks for turning me on to ryes. There were three Pappy 20s in the case too, but I've spent WAY too much this winter already.

T47 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Though I am saving up for a new BBQ toy I could not resist the Vintage Bourbon 17. Never seen that one out here, and it had pretty favorable recommendations...so thanks Felthove for the info...now I am feeling the pull of the WTAS! My BBQ fund is in serious danger...

ggilbertva Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Today I got 2 Blanton's Gold bottles and a Four Roses Yellow label.ScottI really like the Blanton's Gold. Not a fan of the regular Blanton's but for some reason, the higher proof is more to my liking. I'm currently nursing a Silver which is also pretty good. I have a SFTB that I will open at some point.What's your take on the FR Yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Silver but I haven't tried it. I have a SFTB open, it's not bad, but I still prefer the Gold over it.The Four ROses Yellow I still haven't tried, I have 2 here now, but, I also have about 35 bottles open, so no more until a few are emptied. I got a backup of the Yellow for the Four Roses tasting we are going to have (that I really need to get off my @$$ and organize!)Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
