I've always intended to pull samples and go through them but my intentions have never materialized into actual execution. I routinely attend tastings and we're always thinking of various themes to try. One recently focused on various expressions of Glenmorangie. I'm planning a tasting for sometime this spring so I'm thinking of using these 2-4 oz sample bottles in a tasting where I may know the provenance or may not so basically a grab bag tasting.The nice thing about swapping samples is trying expressions you may have never tried or don't want to invest the capital into a whole bottle. A 2 or 4oz sample is a nice "try it" pour before committing.
Guess it's time to take stock of what I have and start digging in.
may be a duplicate but just found 2 bottles of old fitz bib 100 proof distilled at dsp 16 with 01 in left of bottom and 94 in right one with 10A and other 15A in middle --
ReplyDeleteThat's a late bottling of SW bourbon. The distillery shut down just prior to 1994.
Deletethanks I enjoy your blog and information---really liked the idea of "dusty bottles" but is difficult here in Ky although I did find these and also found a bottle of Paul Jones bottled in 89 and Colonel Lee bottled in 82---will sample these in the near future--never know what one may run across----thanks for your insight
