ND OGD 86 and a couple pours of OWA
Stagg 2012. Awesome, but overpowering the cigar I'm smoking. Should have made a better cigar choice...
I had the left over vatting from the Sunday tailgate for the Bengals game. I was not prepared for my buddies coming over so I had to grab something. I poured about half a flask of OGD 114 (that is all that was left) and half of an OWA (this had been opened for several weeks). I really didn't expect much out of it. I have to admit it tasted damn good. I will have to get some more OGD 114 to do a fair tasting and put up notes but my buddies all commented how good it was. The flask was a bigger plastic flask so we all had a couple of drinks out of it. I really only expected to drink I for effect (get numb to watch the Bengals piss one away again).
Received my first bottle of JPS 18 today. Batch 9. I'm a happy man. It's got everything I like in a bourbon from nose to finish. Caramel, vanilla, oak, tobacco. I'm a very happy man right now. At 69.99 I'll be bunkering a couple bottles of this for sure.
Smooth Ambler Yearling. Young Wheater. Very good but can't run away from its fresh youthfulness

Enjoying some Heaven Hill 6 YO BIB straight from the freezer. A favorite of mine.

FRsB 2012 LE, wow. I've had great luck with Four Roses products as of late, but this one is flooring me. Fantastic.
Really enjoying the TPS selection Bowman Barrel #45. It's different and interesting in a way I can't quite put my finger on, but it's certainly tasty.
Man, I love bourbon.
I knew tonight was a stroll down to the neighborhood pumpkin expo with my kids, so I dug out the current Rebel Yell 750 that still had 3 inches left. Coffee mug, ice-cubes and Bittercube Blackstrap Bitters to cash this bottle.
I took one last taste neat for academic purposes (it had been open for about a year and a half). At no time during this duration would I have picked it for a wheater. As Luxco is the same company that still erroneously and unethically labels current David Nicholson as being distilled at DSP-KY-16, I don't trust that it's a wheater at all, although the back label states this. It drinks like HH rye-recipe that didn't qualify for the awful JTS Brown 80pr.
Had some CEHT Tornado tonight for the first time - not bad IMO
