Neil, it was good to finally meet in person! I just wanted to say 'Thanks!' for the work Spiros did in organising a great tasting event. It was a really good night. Can't wait for the next one!

Gonna start thinking you are the only one down here pouring Cam

Last night was a pour of ND OGD86 to salve my battered pride after an awful day on the links.

Yum, I rate the ND Old Taylor as almost the perfect bourbon.. I wonder how their Old Grandad would compare?

Jim Beam Red Stag. Hey, don't look at me like that...
last night it was Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve.

Do I get to post here this week? Took the girls to Chilis last night for a famiy dinner.... had two HUGE glasses of Makers Mark with a splash of coke

The only GT Stagg i've tried was CamDuncan's 2004 Stagg which i found to be truly amazing with a strong chocolate after-taste. Tonight i am cracking a 2009 Stagg and hoping it is as good or better.

Caught up with Hightower and his family last night for a fantastic dinner & drinks.
Tried some Jim Beam 1795, followed by some 1972 Barrel C, 1792 KBS Barrel of the year, Old Overholt Rye, Angels Envy, Elmer T Lee Barrel C and finished with some WL Weller KBS Barrel of the year.
The 1792 Barrel C & Angels Envy were definate standouts, while the Old Overholt was the bargain of the night (cost $10.88 when I was in Hawaii last month)

What did you think of the 1795 Cam? JB Black in a fancy dress?

I didn't mind it Tym - it was definately typical Beam, but I don't think it's worth the asking price.
