What bourbon are you drinking in Australia? - Summer 2011

Haven't had a whiskey all weekend, just been beer here.

Might have to enjoy a glass tomorrow after Hawthorn's win.

Been too hot and too busy here over the long weekend. Might have a mint julep tonight for the hell of it...

Enjoying some Four Roses Yellow Label. Lots of sweet fruity notes coming out tonight, but I can't put my finger on what fruit... oh well, moving onto some Devils Cut shortly.

Nice Marty! What did you think? Is that a bottle from Dan's online?

Yeah Dan's Online.

First taste was superb. Went back to it again last night and it was exceptional ! Wow I am impressed.

After passing up several special occasions over the years, I finally cracked my bottle of SB.com barrel purchase non-chill filtered Pappy 23 for my Dad's 72nd birthday. We followed it up with some Devils Cut (keeping the strong wood and tanin theme) and rounded it out with a significant amount of Canadian Club 12yo.

A couple of simple drinks last night (WT Rye & Virgin) followed up with EC18.

The EC18 is sensational.

Hey Cam I am curious, a difference from the standard Pappy 23 ?

I totally agree. I remember picking up a bottle from a small bottleshop in New York and drinking it in my hotel room. I was blown away by how well it was put together. Not too much oak at all.

Hi Marty, it's different in two ways: It was a barrel selection single barrel, and it was non-chill filtered. I can't tell if it tastes different from a standard Pappy 23 bottle as I've never tried a standard bottle

Other way round for me. But I think its more likely that you'll have a standard 23 before I ever get to have a Pappy 23 single barrel n/c

On a lesser note currently into some Beared Lady Blended Bourbon.
