At a party at a friends house. I’m just here for the fire and the whiskey.
This SiB is very good. I’ve enjoyed it. Some that I’ve had were quite hot. But I enjoyed them too. Lol@Saoliver sample time!! Old Forester SiB BP Bourbon…127.6 proofView attachment 1015219The nose on this is amazing! As soon as I poured it, I smelled banana, caramel and vanilla. Then came in the cherries, chocolate and a little ethanol. Tastes like good chocolate covered cherries and bananas mixed into vanilla ice cream! Love this flavor profile. The finish is crazy long and has a nice controlled burn. I’ve heard some say this one drinks hot, but it’s just right for my tastes.
To me, this tastes like what I think 1920 turned up to 11 would be. Excellent pour!
It’s one of my absolute favorites. Right up there with Handy. It’s maybe not $400 good, which is what it goes for on secondary. But it’s definitely $200+ good.Only natural progression with @Saoliver sample time was to go with the Old Forester SiB BP Rye…127.9 proof View attachment 1015239WOW!! This is fucking amazing. Could be the best rye I’ve had to date. I’m going to pour a taste of my favorite to see if the king has been dethroned lol
Long live the king but it was very close. Subtle differences in what probably can be attributed to the extra age the KC has over the OF puts it ahead for me, but the OF is outstanding!Joining the Rye party is the current king of the cabinet…View attachment 1015254

I’d have one too, but I killed the bottle! I could open another.View attachment 1015261
Well, I suppose I should try this one too. Thank you @Saoliver, you’re a national treasure
Twist my arm. What do you think, Dan? That was the bottle your friend in CO got for me.
I’m just realizing that these are single barrels which makes them even more badass!Twist my arm. What do you think, Dan? That was the bottle your friend in CO got for me.

So I already love OF rye and this is that cranked up to eleven!

Oh…we’re close to there already
You get banana notes too right? I’m not crazy?!
I got banana notes on both of your OF samples but unlike the almost artificial banana I get in 1920, it was a touch more subtle and natural which I loved!You get banana notes too right? I’m not crazy?!
