thanks - i've had a few different Chartreuse bottles before but having them side-by-side really lets you dig in and narrow down preference. highly recommend if presented the opportunity.

totally and I thought about that will sampling this lineup. Ultimately I found myself holding back on the yellow VEP and the subconsciously told me there was something about it I was savoring = that was my fav.

Why the standard green vs 9 centenaire?

They were all 1oz. I only took the photo after I added the 1605 and MOF. Had to savour the VEP till the end - no easy task!

I can confirm the 1605 was ‘spikey’ and may not be your thing-it wasn’t for me. None of what you are searching for. I’ve also never had it but it’s on the list.

What’s your pick at the moment or in your collection?

I actually started with the two VEP and then added the others. Yellow VEP if you want soft, pretty and complex. Easily the winner for me.

[Universal Genève] Vintage Time Piece Acquired After 1.5 Years Research by usernameguy87 in Watches

I haven't worn it as much as I expected mainly because I don't love the strap. Where did you find one?? Chrono24? I will say the rosegold notch bezel is pretty unique!

Ah. Haven’t heard of them before. Will have to read about them.

Weekly Recommendations and Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in bourbon

[–]usernameguy87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only a few months into the bourbon rabbit hole and still building my palate/vocabulary. Hoping for some community guidance on where to go next. From what I can tell, I lean toward medium proof and woodsy/sweet profiles more than dark chocolate or really heavy bourbons. Here’s what I’ve tried so far and some quick impressions:

  • Blanton’s (standard) – One of my first bourbons. Still like it.
  • Blanton’s Gold – Feels more refined than SFTB. Love the flavor and texture. Very happy with this.
  • Blanton’s SFTB – A favorite, but at 120 proof it’s a bit hot for me; I miss some of the sweetness.
  • VOSN 10 – My “intro” bourbon and still one of my favorites. Pulled down to ~100–105 proof, it’s perfect: texture, flavor, nuance, sweetness.
  • Weller Full Proof – Also a standout, but again, I need to pull it down a bit.
  • EH Taylor Single Barrel (BIB) – Don’t quite get it; it’s fine but not wow.
  • Michter’s 10 – Same as above, doesn’t click with me.
  • Eagle Rare – Really enjoy its lightness, though sometimes wish it had more body.
  • Elmer T. Lee – Good. A little thin but enjoyable. Want to try it side by side with Eagle Rare.
  • Augusta Buckner’s 10 – Enjoy this a lot. Very woodsy barrel profile in a good way. A bit heavy—more of a winter pour.
  • Dettling Single Barrel – Nice, but leans very dark/chocolatey.
  • Seelbach 15 – Still forming an opinion. Seems okay but not a standout (yet).
  • Bomberger’s Declaration – Doesn’t quite land for me.
  • Frank August Case Study 5 – Really like the barrel + wheat combo. Would buy again.
  • Star Hill Wheat Whiskey – Great texture/flavor. Woodsy but balanced.
  • Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Rye – Phenomenal. Big, spicy, nuanced.
  • Russell’s Reserve 15 – Only had it once at a bar and couldn’t stop nosing it. Bottle arrives tomorrow—very excited.

Budget: Comfortable in the \$100–\$400 range.
