what bourbon are you enjoying spring 2012 ?

Had some Woodford Reserve Double Oak tonight as I read through what was likely (hopefully) the last article of my undergraduate career. Fittingly, it was on the Whiskey Rebellion.

4R1B JRS Gift Shop Barrel #3. 16yr OBSV. Ohmigod it is amazing.

My wife an I like our cocktail hour to have a theme. Typically that means having a glass of related bourbons: OWA and Weller 12; OGD BIB and OGD 114. Today it was AAA and ETL. She thinks we need to buy a handle of AAA instead of a liter. (Oh, gee, dear. I don't know. Do we really have to buy AAA by the handle?) Meanwhile I'm thinking the ETL is mighty good. The downside is, BT doesn't list any specific information about which barrel the ETL came from. Nor ER, for that matter. So, if I want another bottle from this especially good barrel, it's pot luck. Guess I'll have to trust Mr. Lee to keep picking good ones with a similar profile.

Having a nice pour of TPS FRSB OBSV. An absolute steal at $31.99

EWSB 2002 and PHC Golden Anniversary...

BT SOP #10, sweet to start, a little fruity, then the spice kicks in. There is something in the flavor that I can't quite put my finger on, but I like it.

EWSB 2002 and PHC Golden Anniversary...

What a great bottling of the EWSB!!! And I loved the Golden Anniversary...although I am only 30

Again, hope it has been a great one!

On the last few pours of a (no joke) Hyvee single barrel selection of BT. It's interesting in that I think it pretty closely parallels the standard BT bottle in basic profile but at the same time manages to amplify all of its most distinctive charactaristics that define that profile in the first place. That grassy, earthy, pseudo-smoky flavor (which I enjoy), though still reasonably under-control (balanced by more traditional bourbon flavors in the background), really takes center stage.

On a related note, the Hyvee liquor store has quickly become my go-to place. They have the advantage of their capital/infastructure/connections that enable them to move more product at relatively lower cost, but the guys who run the liquor department clearly know their stuff pretty well and keep the selection as sharp and interesting as any grocery store I have ever seen. This combination means good bang-for-buck without too much compromise in selection. I always enjoy what I get, and I don't have to walk away from the high-priced stuff as often.

It's the best! (Insert Hyvee jingle here).

Just took a pour of ORVW 10/107. Seems like a wheater night but not sure what I will reach for next.
