Unfortunately (or fortunately), I've had the privilege of drinking other SW bourbon that blows the doors off the JPS. The JPS was a massive barrel dump of approx. 200 barrels so the profile to me is a little off. Again, just my opinion. If you love it, then that's what counts.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084821666852687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-41771740084530513282010-07-07T15:48:15.128-04:002010-07-07T15:48:15.128-04:00Hey Greg, have you had the Jefferson's Preside...Hey Greg, have you had the Jefferson's Presidential Select 17yr yet?

I've shared this with my Father in law, Father and brother and each of them gave the thumbs up that it was a really terrific pour. I'm getting close but I'm looking for the woodiness to maybe subside a little more as it's done over the last 3 months or so. Again, I'll post a more lengthy progress report but with my current schedule, my time is tight right now.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084821666852687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-42969652834189676992010-06-21T15:52:26.419-04:002010-06-21T15:52:26.419-04:00Sounds like the rebarrel is a complete success.

I did have the Russell's Reserve Rye, and it was very good. Big earthiness, but smooth at the same time, with a spicy pepper note on the end. Very nice.Donhttp://www.beerandwhiskeybros.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-36267300566030967652010-06-17T22:12:34.787-04:002010-06-17T22:12:34.787-04:00That sounds cool.

It appears to have increased in proof and mellowed out somewhat; the wood influence has subsided to the point that it compliments rather than detracts. I'm really digging the results. Now I have to decide whether to pull it out since it's tasting pretty good or leave it in a while longer. <br /><br />I've already started thinking about the next re-barrel and am leaning toward EW BIB white label.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084821666852687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-54626800877132946462010-06-15T17:10:14.064-04:002010-06-15T17:10:14.064-04:00This looks like a lot of fun Greg!

I'm getting a Russell's Reserve 6 year old tomorrow, and looking forward to doing that as well. They pair great with meats of all kinds, but I particularly love them with beef. A nice smoked prime rib! How's your re-barrel project coming?Donhttp://www.beerandwhiskeybros.comnoreply@blogger.com
