Re: Help! What would you open first?
Dave,
Forget that advice. Start with the Russell's Reserve, then the Blanton's and work your way up to the ER. Like a good sypmphony, you need to build to a crescendo. Now mind you, the average symphony should be completed in one, good long sitting.

Ed, you cheated. He only wanted to open ONE! http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...lins/blush.gif
You dealt him Mozart; he asked for Bruckner.

Re: Help! What would you open first?
I agree with you Ed except for one thing. When you sit down for a meal, you go appetizer, main course, dessert. Which in my book means Russell's Reserve, then ER17, then Blanton's IMHO.

LOL As a matter of fact, that is the same order I used, some months ago. http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...lins/smile.gif

The coolest thing about drinking whiskey to me, who grew up on two decades of nuttin' but beer, is that you can keep whiskey bottles open for years. If you really want to open up just one then it has to be the Eagle Rare 17 because that one's not long for this world so you have to know whether to get another. But whiskey keeps, so I'd open 'em up all at once, and treat 'em as three rounds. And then tell us fellow lush and flush compansions how they compare! :cool:
I'd sample them WTRR, Blantons, Eagle Rare.
