Knilas Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 No cigar last night but a lovely dram of Craigellachie 13 yrSent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using TapatalkI've had this in my shopping cart on numerous occasions and always end up buying something else. It goes without saying I'm intrigued by it, but am a lil too shy to pull the trigger. Can you give me a run down of what you experience with this bottling? Your thots? Thanks!Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

JohnS Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 They look similar but on the left is a Vieux Carre Cocktail and on the right is a Sazerac Rye Old-Fashioned Cocktail. 2

MD Puffer Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Sipping on a room temperature 2018 Dasani. Purified. Enhanced with minerals. Mouthfeel is wet and cool. Flavor is mostly neutral but there are notes of a mother's smile on a warm spring day. 1 1

I’m letting my ‘18s sit a couple more years to settle before I crack them open. Rocks or neat?

I’m letting my ‘18s sit a couple more years to settle before I crack them open. Rocks or neat? Neat- from the bottle in fact. No need for ice made from questionable water or residual dishwashing surfactant on the glass to foul the heavenly nature of this luxury water. I think the 2018's have peaked and are good to go now. They pair well with La Flor De Cano Selectos, Party Shorts, Upmann Majestics, and a number of other C&Cs. Alternatively, if it's a different appetite you aim to sate, the 2018 Dasani goes nicely with Lance Brand cheese crackers, Original Chex mix, or strawberry Nutrigrain bars. Enjoy!

shamz84 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Sorry I just saw this, been awhile since I last touched this bottle.It was a really great dram, had sweetness and spice with a hit of smokeyness. I pulled the trigger earlier in the year on this bottle. My first sitting I almost had half of it...was just a lovely smooth dram. No water needed imo.I'm generally an Islay kinda guy but this Speyside was fantastic...a lovely gem and will be getting another bottle.Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

prodigy Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 My first taste of the new knob creek twice barreled rye limited release. It's very, very good. Extremely good pairing with the psd4!Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk 3

Popular Post Mr.T Posted December 14, 2018 Popular Post Posted December 14, 2018 So I had the chance to visit some good friends and watch their daughters perform in the Nutcracker. We stayed in a very nice boutique hotel. After the show my wife and I headed down to the bar for a drink and what do I discover on the shelf? An open bottle of PVW 15 year! They also had an open bottle of the special yearly release of the George T Stagg and Van Winkle Special Reserve..I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had to pick up my jaw of the ground. Seeing as this is the closest I will EVER get to seeing, holding and tasting a bourbon this special I went for a shot of the PVW 15 yr. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5
mtd057 Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 A friend game me a bottle of Shenk's to try tonight. I've never heard of this before but I will be on the lookout now. Very nice bottle of whiskey. 3
BrightonCorgi Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Drank both bottles with a friend last night, both were equally scored and enjoyed. 1960 Taylor is quite rare as well 4

Why do you break the bottles, and how is it done?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk not sure how BC did it, no doubt he could advise. the theory is that for older bottles, the neck often was on an angle and not straight up/down so older corks would flare out. and likely to crumble with extreme age. it is usually done by heating what are called port tongs in a fire or wherever - they basically go around the neck and the heat cuts the neck so it comes out and you can then have the port sans any crumbly cork. i've not had any problems from ports back to the 60s but if you had concerns, this is the safe way to do it. very different to sabre'ing a champagne bottles, by the way. 1
BrightonCorgi Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 The bottles were broke with "port tongs". This is done to preserve the cork. After the neck has been cleaved off, a hammer is used to break the neck around the cork. I don't use the tongs very often, but my friend wanted the 1960 Taylor cork since it's quite a rare vintage. Normally, we just extract the cork as a normal wine and if it breaks or crumbles, just push into the bottle since it's going to be decanted wither way.
BrightonCorgi Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 After finishing the '60 Taylor & '63 Dow, we had a cheese fondue followed by one more bottle of port. 1970 Niepoort Colheita bottled in 1984. 4
unitedfly Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Earlier today I had a glass of Stagg Jr batch 11, 127.9 proof I think it is, paired with a PL Monte. Both were delicious, and worked well together. 2
