Opened my first (and only) Vintage 17 tonight. Disappointed that the cork broke off so had to mess with that nonsense. Had never had this one before, but it has a fantastic nose! Heavy on the caramel with a hint of nutmeg behind the vanilla. The taste is quite nice, but the nose "oversold" the expectations a bit for me. Maybe it is the fall in the air, but I get caramel apples with a bit of toffee. To be honest, had I tried it before, I probably wouldn't have paid what I did for it (you always overpay at the distillery, which I was aware of - but hadn't seen it anywhere before or since). But since I did - I'll enjoy the hell out of it until it's gone!
Love the V17, but it gets even better with time. Hang in there!
Had a bacon infused Old Fasioned tonight at dinner. Too damned good.
Glad to hear that!! Ironic that my next stop was an infusion as well - banana infused Evan Williams (with a little GTS because it was just TOO "banana-y"). Had the wife take a sip, and she thought "Wow - that's banana with a bit of bourbon flavoring!"Quote:

Snacking on some bacon and bourbon caramel popcorn, sipping on some V21 rye.
Finally found a bottle of Garrison Brothers in Fort Worth today.
Not too bad, but too pricey for such a young bourbon. The nose is unimpressive, but I do like the palate. The finish is pretty short.
I probably won't try it again until they tack a few more years onto the aging process.
