What bourbon are you enjoying? Fall 2011

[shoshani]

I'm enjoying the heck out of both Bulleits, the bourbon and the rye.

Yesterday was the last full day in Louisville. Had samples of BT & ER10 at BT. Samples of RB & KS at WT & all three FR products there.

We went for appetizers at BLU at the Marriott when we got back. What a find! We had a flight of PVW 15,20, & 23 for $35!!!! We were really excited because we had only ever had the 20. Everyone agreed the 20 was the best. I was the sole holdout that said the 15 tasted better than the 23. The really good news was that after tasting it, the wife gave me permission to buy as much as I can find this fall! Followed that flight by finishing off the last of their GTS.

Back to the Galt House and I had:
Black Maple Hills
FR1B
The last sips from their last bottle of VG the Fox.
Wathen's
Buffalo Trace
Sam Houston

The wives wanted to finish the trip at Howl At The Moon. Best we could do there was Knob Creek.

All in all, a great trip. Got to same lots that I had never tasted before during the 3 days.

A little ORVW 10/90 this evening. I (like most of us) prefer the ORVW 10/107, but the 90 proof offering is still pretty darn good.

I had way too much Buffalo Trace over the weekend. I don't know where the starting point on my liter was Friday but when I went to bed Sunday I was thinking, "it's about time to buy another bottle."

Willett 17yo, 133.2prf, a wheater that was selected by Reid & Emerald XVII-2, neat.

Only a liter? My handles don't even last most weekends.

Toddy's/Liquor World Willett 5 yr 121.6 proof Rye. Huge flavor. I liked this one since the first time I tasted it at JT's. I love ryes that don't simply taste like bourbon (i.e. Ritt BIB), or ryes that have no taste (OO, JB Rye). That's why I've been diggin' on these LDI ryes, lately (Bulleit). It's distinct. And, this iteration has shown the best of LDI rye, to me. I love Baby Saz, and adore it's big brother TH Handy. I really like Bulleit Rye, and love it's adopted/step-brother/ Willett.

Yo!! LDI!!!! Get a label, and let's go!!!!!

I am sipping on some Willett Rye. Same as Joe I believe. It is really good. I picked us a few bottles at the KBF last week and really like it. Lots of spice and sweet stuff mingled in there.

This bottle is from barrel #77 bottle 62/132.

Joe, is this the same barrel you have?
