I'd toast you right now, but I happen to be drinking orange juice. It just wouldn't be appropriate, somehow. http://www.straightbourbon.com/ubbth...cons/frown.gif

Ready to take my first trip out to the new deck. TREX. Very cool. I have a bottle of Blanton's and a brand new Adirondack chair. Life is good.
(My contractor thought it was funny to hand my wife an invoice for $26K for the work yesterday. April Fools. She didn't even flinch. She handed it to me when I got home and said he wants the check tomorrow. I just about passed out. She said,"We did add a few things", Very Funny)

I finished off my Elija Craig 12 year old, and I just had my first taste of Woodford Reserve. And I have a bottle of Blanton's that's just waiting to be cracked open for a special occasion. Like a Thursday. http://www.straightbourbon.com/ubbth...icons/grin.gif

Definitely a good thing there isn't an SBTV. We are a fine bunch of folks here, fun to be with, etc., but I don't think I'd want to look at our faces all the time. http://www.straightbourbon.com/ubbth...icons/wink.gif

Old Grandad BIB. It really is amazing to me that in less than a year I have gone from one who only really liked wheaters to someone who would really enjoy the most ryed bourbon on the market. Good stuff, and only $13 to boot http://www.straightbourbon.com/ubbth...cons/laugh.gif
It seems to me that the rye spiciness in thosebourbons take a little more time to grow on you that the wheated ones smoothness (which seem initally more accessable IMHO), so maybe your findings are consistant with that, although I think I have come to appreciate the intricacies of wheated bourbon that I wasnt sure was there in the same year. Hmmmm. . .

PS OGD BIB makes a really good Manhattan,
Yeah Tom, it took me a helluva long time to start to appreciate wheaters. I am completely smitten with the 20 year old Pappy Van Winkel. That is one great bourbon. Too bad it's $80 a bottle and 500 miles to nearest liquor store that has it!- Linn
Wild Turkey Rye, neat, in my Glencairn glass.
I've been guzzling so much of it lately mixed with Ginger Beer that I decided I needed to find out what it really tastes like before the bottle is empty. As I sip it, I keep thinking that it tastes like OGD BIB on turboboost, very much the way I expected OGD 114 to taste (which it didn't).
On a side note, I've tried various full-bodied bourbons with Ginger Beer, and their flavor just doesn't come through to the extent that rye does. The custom of mixing rye and ginger is more than just a tradition, it seems. It really is a match made in Heaven.

My first bottle of the Fox lasted a mere two months. I have said it would make a perfect summer bourbon, but it also goes very well with Italian sausage, mozz chees, peppers and onions, which is often on my low carb menu. (That meal is also why I can't stay stocked in Wathen's or Old Fitz either.)
So, after finishing off the Fox, it's onto what started this thread in the first place, Elmer T. Lee SB. http://www.straightbourbon.com/ubbth...icons/cool.gif
Time to go watch Six Feet Under that I recorded last night on HBO. http://www.straightbourbon.com/ubbth...icons/grin.gif
