That will be an interesting blind head to head. I have Old Taylor BiB from a couple of periods too. There will be follow-ups along exactly the lines you suggest!NewYorkJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236276465833621198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85713224217699544.post-12895203470897332522015-04-19T17:02:01.807-04:002015-04-19T17:02:01.807-04:00Thanks for the kind words, Darren.

Or at the very least do the 2 Old Foresters and 2 Taylors blind. Knowing I was drinking 70's era OF would be hard for me to overlook!<br /><br />Proof, especially with the Taylors, would have made that tricky although the CEHT single barrel or small batch at 100 proof might have made it easier to do against the Old Taylor (and unfortunate you didn't access to an ND era BIB Old Taylor!). tanstaafl2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02983632392962001316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85713224217699544.post-84394488339225710232015-04-19T11:10:21.676-04:002015-04-19T11:10:21.676-04:00Josh,

As always, interesting, informative and entertaining.....DMcGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02848681601352634153noreply@blogger.com
