sengjc Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Some Old Dusties I got in a trade. Ancient Anciend Age 10 year Private Barrel from the Party Source. Hirsch 22 22year Straight Rye. This stuff is long gone but awesome. William Heavenhill Small Batch BIB distillery gift shop bottling. Mackinlays blended Malt 1907 Whisky Antarctic Recreation. That's one impressive find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfall Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 photo (18).JPG HOLLY CRAP!!! Had my first glass out of this tonight.....UNBELIEVABLE! The manager who recommended it, knew that Old Pulteney 21 was my all time favorite, and told me I should try this. (It's around the same price point) Gave me the background on Imperial Distillery and how it closed it's doors some two years ago. Describe the flavor profile to me , almost like he knew exactly what I've been searching for! Toffee Cream Custard Honey Vanilla Hint of wood *Less Sea Salty/Briny than the Old Pulteney Velvet mouth feel, beautiful finish, smooth as can be I've found my new fav, but of course it's limited bottles and once it's gone, it's gone I must procure more on Monday. American Express is going to **** itself!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on your taste in bourbon, you may like the 7 yr. Better. I do- the high rye mashbill has more flavor going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fokker4me Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 How does a company established in 2009 sell 10 year old bourbon Well they do what about a third of the Bourbon/ rye market does and bottles a product that is sourced from another distiller. Many are from LDI/MGPI in Indiana but Heaven Hill, Four Roses, Wild Turkey, and Brown Forman ,to name a few, have all sold whiskey to independent bottlers. If your drinking Any Willet/KBD, Smooth Ambler Old Scout, Templeton Rye, Bullit Bourbon and Rye and many many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I know guys - I just thought that was funny to spell it out so obviously on the bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM-US Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I know guys - I just thought that was funny to spell it out so obviously on the bottle I read too fast, missed the emoticon. Have you tried it? I thought Smooth Ambler 7 yr bourbon was pretty tasty for $35. I was able to get an 8 yr barrel proof SB version for $40. I've been very impressed by their barrel picks. Much better than Willett's picks of the same LDI bourbon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opened the Hirsch select I showed a few posts ago and enjoyed it. I'll look into the smooth ambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
