Tullamore Dew

Bulleit Bourbon

Bird Dog Small Batch, blah be using for mixing...

^wasnt the small batch, just the regular bourbon.

Wife poured me a blind tasting last night to help judge the quality of the latest Smooth Ambler Old Scout single barrel bourbons (distilled in Tenn presumably at Dickel instead of the previous stuff they sourced from MGP in good ole Indiana).

Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel 13 yr (TN) 110.4 pf
Belle Meade Single Barrel 12 yr (IN) 101.3 pf
Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel 10 yr (IN) 101.2 pf
Belle Meade Single Barrel 9 yr (IN) 104.4 pf

I guessed correct on the 2 old scouts but mixed up the two belle meades. I didn't quite rank them but the BM12 and OS10 were on top followed by the OS13 and the BM9.

The 13 seemed a bit too oaky. The 9 was very vegetal and floral. The others were just good all around bourbon notes. Hoping to revisit soon or maybe try again with some other MGP bourbons.

Overall, I'm not sure I'll chase the Tenn bourbons. I think this is the first one I've had that wasnt actually labeled Dickel. Barrell bourbon sources from the same stocks for 2x the price of this old scout though (allegedly). I've not tried a Barrell bourbon yet I dont think.

I found an old dusty bottle of weller 12 on the shelf of a small town store last week. Originally I was not a fan. Revisited it last night. It's ok

Don’t hear that very often on here. Was it at an old price?

Tim go back now...….tear them shelves apart til you find another.You have my snailer.

Your Favorite Brother

you pretty quick for a fat old fugger.

Glenfiddich 14 y.o. bourbon barrell reserve.
was worth it wif a $10 store coupon.

It was the only one. They seemed glad to be rid of it. More room for black velvet or something. I think it was $38

Bird Dog Peach, I’ve had this bottle for 3+ years. Tried mixing it with seven up, meh didn’t work so well.

Glenfiddich Fire and Cane. Meh. Maybe it will grow on me.

HOLY SCHIT BATMAN!!!

OF 100 proof rye. Thanks for ther recommendation, Whistle, this is some smooth stuff!

I haven't seen this at the local yet. Looking forward to trying soon

You're welcome...…...the OF Rye now takes up shelf space where my beloved Sazerac used to.IMHO you'll not find a better rye out there at twice maybe even three times it's price.I gotta thank CSGAMECOCK for directing me towards it.
