I don't know about him, but I'm loving this OBSF right now.
Did a store in DC do an OBSF pick?
Yeah. The guy has what I think is the best whiskey selection in town.
Do you mind sharing the store? I'll be up there in a month and wouldn't mind grabbing some of the 4 Roses recipes I haven't had.

honestly... its a little too astringent for my taste. a little waft will burn your nose hairs. its not as much spicy as it is alcohol-heavy. it got a little better with two cubes of ice and sitting out for 10 minutes, but not my favorite. i love the regular four roses single barrel and even drink george stagg neat on occasion. maybe just a bad bottle or something though.
I think I've posted this formula before, but when I find a bottle that is a little too astringent or alcohol heavy I start playing around with the proof. Once I find a proof that I like, I just mix the rest of the bottle to that proof and drink like normal.
[Original Volume * (original proof - target proof)] / (target proof - mixing proof) = volume of mixing liquid to reduce from original proof to target proof
Obviously the mixing proof is 0 if you use water. I find that Four Roses barrel proof selections can be very drinkable around the 107 to 110 proof range, but just play around with it and find a proof that you like.

What, did you go to bourbon college? Damn, cracker.
Lol. He is fucking dean.
I need to find a legit place to pick up some bourbon. So far Total Wine has the best selection I've seen.
