Thank you @Ken Gargett. I also have two bottles of the Chimay Blue aswell (2017). I want to see how they age. I am excited to try the reserve. It's the cognac one. Carrington cellars in Katoomba had a deal with the glass which was great too. I look forward to trying the mead. I have a friend that regularly pairs his cigars with mead so i decided to buy it.

I am not even a big fan of them, but trying to source of bottles are difficult and costly for whatever the reason. A while back, our local Costco had a terrific pricing on the bottles so I thought it was an opportune moment stock up. I also pick up Anchor Christmas Ale 1.5's when I see them. They are great with 5-7 years bottle aging and I like they way they taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have some Coopers Vintage xmas ale that I am ageing now. Will be interesting to see how they taste later. I dont think anchor Xmas ale is available here unfortunately. I am on the hunt for any shops in Aus that stock St Bernard (55% al vol) beer as I would like to see if they age nicely. P.S @Ken Gargett I am having the honey mead now with a Party Mille Fleur. It's a good pairing! The mead isn't too sweet and goes well with my cigar. Recommend you try it when you get a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear different things with Chimay Blue by the way. Some say max 5 years age. All on personal preference. I will look at buying more to age long term. Often you will find me looking through all of the shelves of Chimay in bottle shops for the oldest bottle to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I had a Delirium with 5-6 years age that was good a couple of year ago. Had some sediment in it so next time I will use a cheese cloth when pouring. Had a lot of life in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for the new ones that have the least chance of poor storage at the retailer. If they have something in the cooler or basement is my first pick. Beer is not port or madeira when comes to cellaring. I am weary of stuff sitting around too long; especially in the winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly worth the current pricing. You did the right move if you drink a lot of Bourbon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got screwed! He's a fellow member and collector. We trade cigars all the time. He has a contact that trades George t stagg for pappy 12, so he decided to hook me up. He wanted to thin his collection to make room for the stuff he drinks, so it was a win win. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.T Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I already posted this, but I was encouraged to see that it came in No 1 (for what it’s worth) in Whisky Advocate for 2017. I think it’s always encouraging to see the little guys and a moderately priced bourbon like this one albeit produced in small quantities score so high. I am also a huge fan of EC bourbon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
