Which EHT did you get?

Just small batch BIB. Always small batch.

 

[Dodger]

Trying a new one tonight. Figured it was a good day to open up a slightly more expensive bottle to celebrate because...

Spoiler

Wednesday.

I want us BOTH to get our single and barrels!! (or better!)

 

[Godzilla28]

Still offering chips or $$ if anybody can find me a George T Stagg, would jump on one at $300 or under around here, cheapest I’ve seen is $500 this year

Im entered in a drawing for one this month. Trade ya for the Weller FP if I win. I'm feeling lucky.

Love the 1920 and 1897. Like the 1870. Thought I hated the 1910, but I’m giving it another go tonight and I am really enjoying it.

I’m skeptical about all this “neck pour” business. Someone elucidate me.

Good of a reason as any I cracked my bottle open a few weeks back, I really enjoyed this one, the salty brine hints are really unique.

Anyone in the San Jose or San Diego area close to a BevMo? Need help with a certain Single Malt bottle. If anyone can help out, just drop me a line.

Right!? Why save it for a “special” occasion?

Definitely unique. And I noticed some change in flavor as I sipped on it.

I know it’s a long shot but I’m just throwing this out there. If someone is able to score a high proof weller for me it would be a very merry Christmas. I’ve tried a sample before and it might be the greatest bourbon I’ve ever had before. I can trade chips or $

I’m skeptical about all this “neck pour” business. Someone elucidate me.

I feel the same way. I can understand the last pour being bad if a small amount oxidized, but first pour confuses me. The liquid is not contained to the neck inside the bottle. I'm open to being educated.

 

[Big Jilm]

I have noticed, without a doubt, that ALL my bottles taste better after being open for at least 2 to 3 weeks. If that is not the neck pour phenomenon then I am mistaken. But I do notice a big difference in flavor after a bottle has been open a few weeks. I am assuming it is because of the extra exposure to oxygen. Anyone else ever notice this?

Last night's Little Book. Yet another "Lesson Honored" of a bottle tasting better after being open for several weeks...

I was a huge skeptic too, but I’ve definitely noticed this with most bottles

 

[partypoker]

Office Christmas party I made out well.

 

[Big Jilm]

We talking about cherries? She said she was 18!

The 2020 Eagle Rare 17 is in fact 18 years and 3 months. I can't wait to try it!

 

[FDLmold]

Neck pour. No matter what you do, some parts per million level of light hydrocarbon is going to be in your whiskey when bottled. And for the most part, our palates are very sensitive to them and they are foul. The thinking goes, however, that when you open a bottle, they are the first vapors to exit, and they are, but it takes some open time, or some head space in the bottle, for that to take place. I had a Michter rye that was just nasty. Drank some a few weeks later and it was great. Call me a believer.

 

[Big Jilm]

EHT Straight Rye. Excellent bottle!

 

[FDLmold]

Did you just call rye, BOURBON?!?

you want to trade it for a bottle of Pappy?

 

[Big Jilm]

Nope! I believe I will run into Pappy eventually with my persistence. I do not think I will see this one for a long time, if ever!

Here is the rest of my Rye night line up:
