Was cleaning out the buffet and found a half-full bottle of Vintage 17 that I'd assumed had taken legs after a party a few months back. No idea who decided that was a good place for it, but, after a rough weekend, it's hitting the spot.

Drinking Booker's for the first time. A little of batch C04-A-28. Not sure what I think of this yet. It's the first pour out of the bottle so I'm sure the next pour will taste different.
cocktail hour. vW Rye (almost empty), Gran Marnier Cherry, Averna Amaro bitters, Carpano Antica Formula vermouth, big round ice cube, a couple of Luxardo cherries. not bad for a spontaneous attempt.

Knob Creek while watching two bad teams duke it out.
OWA107. To whoever posted about enjoying this with a single ice cube -- thank you. It tastes totally different after the ice cube, with tons of red fruit and a sweet entry. I wasn't super into this bottle (and it's almost gone), but tonight's pour was great.
I was in a sampling mood tonight. I had small pours of BMH23, VR21, Willett SB 11yr, 2012 WLW, and JPS17.
It has been hard not breaking into one of my VW ryes, but I have WAY too many open bottles right now.
Enjoying a pour of 2009 GTS with a little bit of water. Layers of flavor.
Nice evening of sampling atfree! Imagine what your tab would have been at a lounge.Quote:

I opened up a bottle of OFBB 2011 to see if I wanted something non-Four Roses. Um, nope. I'll have to come back to it later.
I opened up a bottle of private-label 4R1B OESO from Julio's Liquors... Ahh, perfect way to watch the Cowboys/Eagles scorefest.
Very true. Although, it's kind of frightening to step back and look at how much I spent on just these bottles. That BMH23 sure wasn't free!Quote:
