a plain oak barrel will impart different flavors than a charred or toasted barrel.

I agree to certain extent. However, I think the bourbon scenario has a much more legit storyline (than vodka & gars). There's a lot I find casual & serious enthusiasts don't realize or take into...
Interesting thoughts. I agree somewhat, the hop contest is sometimes excessive but considering how fast hops taper in beer, if you don't like something that's too hoped simply sit on it and some of...
The Canadian single malt? Years ago. It's alright, but I would not trample any crowd to get to another bottle of it. I mixed it up with another name not seen often that I wanted to try "Glen Devron"...
well gosh damn, i take it... it must have been at least ok - since ya' finished it that quick? surprised you remember anything! j/k. lol
mainly i was asking because Willett is a family name but...
I have a few of these (Willet), wonder which iteration you picked up - do you have any age statement info, DSP# &/or know if it was bottled for a specific merchant/group?
Pricewise to taste,...
Another 2010 "The Abyss". Ridiculously good!:smiley20::smiley20:
I should have said TJs still sells it (not bottles it), cause as far as I can tell they have all their stuff bottled by the maker. i don't know how true this is but all parties swear the TJ Unibroue...
Probably no longer sold in "unreachable", but if you're talking about the Unibroue vintaged ale, I believe TJs still bottles it annually. Albeit - last I recall was the 2010 but haven't heard it was...
Either that or you're lying! lol
Nice line up.
Old Stock 2008 :smiley20:
The 2009 batch/release had some contamination issues. It sounded like the entire release may have had issues and how the bottles were stored/kept after the release may have lessened or worsened the...
Really? That's interesting - are you putting anything on it sides standard brew ingredients? these have licorice (i believe it was) and i taste ever so slightly -right? Friggen headache, but...
Have any of you tried or have any thoughts on The Abyss by Deschutes?
Enjoy. The HCBP is being altered and repackaged as we speak. The title is being changed and (I haven't had the new to compare) according to others I'd trust, the blend doesn't taste quite the same. ...
Factoring in you like tequila, I'd say try to find a bottle of the Depaz Blue Cane Rhum. It's not cheap, ($45ish), but has a definite tequila-like bark and bite to it. I wouldn't say its finish is...
I do enjoy Barbancourt (8 & 15) a lot. Brugel I'm kinda ify about but will not walk away from a measure.
Was the Panamanian rum you're thinking of Ron Abuelo? Did I mention Plantation has a...
What matters is which Plantation you've tried. The Ferrand (Cognac) family owns the label "Plantation" - They buy rums from a quite a few countries/makers and typically finish them in France in...
Since winter moved in, haven't been on the rum much (mostly whiskeys and brews lately). Since I poured a couple of shots just over an hr ago figured I come rant about it. Excellent. Not overpriced...
Probably not. Even though "Don Pancho" is allegedly behind the product, I'll be waiting to hear from someone I trust before I'll bite. jmho
If you don't mind my asking, Sarge, which vintage was it? Old Stock remains on my list of favorites.:smiley20:
Noticed this thread. So hopefully it's cooling down which for me means a migration to my whiskies. I dunno about y'all but I have some ideas how I'll pass winter :smiley2:...

Opened this up earlier today. Good stuff. Less attitude than their 12 year old, still a very nice sipping rum!

This morning, Trinidad Reyes. Kinda up & down with these personally - this one was pretty good though and a hair on the "strong" side.
Back in the saddle, just went through a measure of this retired classic. Still love this stuff when ever I desire a heavier, sweeter pour. :smiley20:
