Bourbon

[Reburn]

Had been looking for this one for a while. Initially was disappointed, after a couple days it was much better.

I have drank one bottle that was delicious and I have one on the shelves. Did yours have a prominent taste of stewed apples?

"Travel" bourbon? A bit for the pack to celebrate a successful hunt.

What flask? I have a cheapie that I loaded with Beam last time and, when time came to have a drink, it had a metallic flavor that, while not entirely unpleasant, certainly wasn't what I wanted.

I use the small ones filled with something from the store. I drink what's in them and fill them with my choice. I think they're 200 ML?

It actually did have some “apple” to it. Became perfectly sweet after the initial crack. I will be looking for another as this one didn’t last long. Made some progress after 6 days during the duck hunting trip.

Got this for Christmas and I like it a lot.

Going out size - I pulled the rubber ring and the double sided tape off so it slips in my pocket easier and makes it a bit thinner. Non metallic so goes through metal detectors fine.

I have one small one and one big one that can hold 6oz "samples" or 3oz. Its great to travel with but they heavy as hell due to the glass.

The big one will hold and bottle and the small one a half a bottle. I would highly reccomend the aged and ore bottle flight. I use mine when traveling domesically alot. I havent had any problem getting the small one through TSA in my carry on. However just know you might get "that guy" one day.

I keep a bottle caddy in my backseat for when I go shopping.

I have 4 sets of the spirts flight. You can pour yourself blind pour if you are careful. I find doing blinds helps me cut through the hype.

These are perfect. I was eyeing the Yeti one, but woooof, Yeti is awfully proud of their stuff.

I have a ton of yeti stuff and love it. Im not a big enough fan boi to buy their cast iron pan though. But lightweight it aint. The nalgene flask is where its at weight wise. The heaviest thing about it is the liquid in it so if you want it to weigh less put less juice in it. Also metal flasks just dont work well for a night on the town with all the places that have metal detectors now.

With a winter storm of apparently unknown severity coming in tonight, I had to stock up for the next couple of days.

Larceny is a good lower price bottle, my current favorite is Henry McKinna
Also like Ben Holiday, got a Heaven Hill bottle to try.

 

[jdubb1977]

Second for Larceny. It's surprisingly good for the price. I'll get Weller when I can find it, which is almost never!

All of these except Ben holiday are a heaven hill product. Usually have at least one of their bottles around the house open

Serious question here. How do you know what a “stewed apple” tastes like??? Stewing apples isn’t something that most people do.

It was a staple fall and winter dish in my family. And plenty of other southern families.

Sometimes I stew the apples to make the filling before I make apple pie to get a little softer apple / different pie profile. Sometimes I save some to put on vanilla ice cream.
Cooked apples have a pretty distinct taste whether it be cooked apple from a pie or stewed apples.

To clarify I like apple pies with the consistency of a peach pie or cobbler.

That bottle tastes alot like cooked / stewed apples and its quite a nice note.

Alright I opened the birthday bourbon today for my birthday. It did not disappoint. I shared it with two other folks and they both had it at the top of their list for best pours.

I was wondering what to expect from the bottle at a lower proof point. It was extremely smooth and excellent. Black cherry and walnut nose, smooth butter scotch vanilla oak flavor and really delicate finish. I said to the other two that this almost doesn’t seem like I am drinking bourbon because of how easy it drank. This could be from the low proof point be we followed it up with a Ben Holladay 8 yr 125ish proof and that left us with wanting more OFBB.

If you do happen to find it a MSRP buy it!

Ok then I stand corrected, stewed apples are more common than I’d thought.

Good job opening it. These bottles are meant to be enjoyed.

This weekend I'm focused on this bottle of Jimmy Red 10 Yr Anniversary Bottle. Its good. A bit overpriced. The flavors I dig. Vanilla, cornbread, cherry, cinnamon with a touch of chocolate mixed in.
