I will! It's lower proof than they were hopping but at 112 it makes for a nice neat sip...we shall see.

Seems like most 4r barrel strength is low. I think the highest I've had is 120ish

Lil lower than most but still gonna be DEE LICIOUS I bet. Barrel proof of that quality at $49 is very hard to beat.

Exactly. I only got 2 because I was getting a few other things. I'll get more I'm sure in the future.

Today's pickups

How much stagg did you put in your mix uncle? I'm really liking the 50/50.
Thx

Gotcha.
I'm thinking of EHT BP. That profile is pretty close. I may mix up a half recipe to try after I get off call.

Mmmmmm sure do love some barrel proof 4r!!! Had it neat this time...may try a touch of crushed ice next time. Well worth the price!



Had some rhetoric first...this stuff is pretty good too. Only had one glass but to me I taste a touch of what blowhard had. I liked blowhard but the wood is a tad too much. Rhetoric tones it down some and is really good.

That Collandros FR SB is a different recipe from the usual SB. Anyone know how different the various FR recipes are?

All 4RSB is OBSV recipe. The barrel at Calandros is just a barrel that they chose.

The cask strength that they chose is OESK.


Here's a breakdown of the recipes

Funny to see you taking my advise of adding stagg jr to pappy mix. Y'all laughed at first.

I really like the OBSV-SB. Just wondering how much different the OESK will be. It's time for a new bottle and trying to decide which one to buy.
