What bourbon are you drinking today? Autumn '12

A few too many Woodford Reserve on the rocks at the office Christmas party. I am doing penance today.

Penance is fine so long as it's not taken to excess.

I decided to celebrate not finding ANY VW's or BTAC this fall, by drinking the best bourbons on the planet. Four Roses.

I started with '12 LE SB, now some TPS private regular SB..both delicious

Weller 12
Lot B
JPS 18

VOB BIB in my flask while I walk my son to the neighborhood toy store.

Old Grand Dad BIB

Gorgeous combo to my tastes. 1:1 doesn't work (too much mint). 3:1 OGD to Rye is somewhat too much on the bourbon side. The sweet spot is somewhere in between, but I'm figuring more to the 114 side. I look forward to finding it.

Really interested to hear updates on this combination as I just opened the Willett 4yr rye last week and am not loving it on its own. Thinking about trying my own proportions of these to this weekend.

Set the Grand Dad aside for round two. That new bottle of Barton was just sitting there and I decided I'd better check it to make sure it hadn't gone bad or something.

Lot B and some OWA107

After a very long work day I'm going with a couple of big pours of OWA single barrel. Delicious stuff.
