What Bourbon Are You Drinking Winter '08/'09

[JamesW]

BHC VSOF, James?

Yes from the heritage collection. The best bottling of that collection IMO has to be the Weller Centennial by far and then comes VSOF... a very nice bottle indeed.

Finished the night off with a little taste of the '08 Handy....this stuff tastes HUGE! Now it's off to sweet dreams......

BT, without the funk.

Elijah Craig 12-year. 1.75L bottle. Great value. Good bourbon. Enjoying it thoroughly.

Sazerac Rye, the so called Baby Saz, over cracked ice.

Had a crazy, spontaneous tasting bonanza today. I had the day off and, confined to my icy tomb up here in the Maine Tundra, I decided to crack an ORVW 10/107...my first VW ever. After I took my dogs out for a walk in the chilly cold, I came back to a package from Oscar with a few surprises inside, namely a Lot 'B' sample which I promptly sampled. The Lot 'B' is very good, the ORVW is okay. I also tried 4RsmB and O&T's 4RSB which was an interesting comparison...it's been an interesting week for side-by-sides....tomorrow maybe Dickel 8 & 12...Thanks again, Oscar.

Old Grandad 114.

...Thanks again, Oscar.

No problem, I can't wait to those Blue Cheer cd's.

I am now enjoying a Pappy Van Winkle 15yo, neat.

Should be there tomorrow if not already.

Continuing my very enjoyable rye sojourn with my very first sampling of Old Overholt. Have no idea why I waited so long! This is a very good rye......and the small monetary layout makes it even better.

Though it is still early.....on the second pour now, at this point I have to say I like this better than Ritt BIB and almost as much as Saz Jr. As of yet, not had any Beam Straight Rye. Since OO is made by Beam, wonder if this is a lighter and/or older version of same(?). Or, is it an entirely different profile?

In order to qualify for the thread, will be following OO up with some 4RSB and perhaps some PVW15 to polish off the evening.
