What bourbon are you drinking today? Autumn '12

It's like night and day.

Exactly what I thought, for some reason I had it in my head they would be similar. I could not have been more wrong

Binny's hand picked Willet 9 yo. Not sure how I feel about this one yet. Starts with a burst of flavor of green fruit then smacks with rye spice but finishes incredibly tannic and dry. Nothing like their 8 yo Wheater. Still great for a 9 year rye bourbon

I enjoyed them both at the Binny's sampler the other day but greatly preferred the wheater myself. Sounds like you may be in the same boat.

Slept like crap Monday night due to an on-coming head cold so I poured a small glass of '08 WLW and slept like a lamb last night. It really is made for medicinal purposes. Really!

Back on the 2012 4RSmB LE, this is thick and juicey, not unlike __________ you fill in the blank!

I was traveling thru NC and I stopped by Halifax's house for some sampling. m_jolley and C2Walker stopped over as well last night. We hit some
samples that I brought along (Willett 18yr Doug/Willz 8550/8551, Kenwood EC18, FR OBSK SB), and some small pours of WT 8 export, ND OGD 114 and Very Old St. Nick Rye 17yr from Rod's bunker.

Somewhere in between we decided to hone in on Four Roses, and the bottles started to open and flow.

- FR LE Small Batch 2012
- FR LE Small Batch 2010
- FR Mariage 2009
- FR MAWLS P&C #3 OBSV
- FR 1789b P&C #1 OESK
- FR 1789b #1 OBSV
- FR Gift Shop 17yr Barrel 18

There were some great bottles sampled last night and I really love what FR's is doing!

OGD 100 BIB. Amazing how good this stuff is.

High West Rendezvous Rye. I didn't begin to truly appreciate this one until I got into my second bottle.

Is it just me, or does anyone else make their nightly choice by nosing different bottles? I find that the "nose knows".

Now a little Weller 12, since this is technically a bourbon thread.

OWA. I'm beginning to like this more and more.

A particularly good bottle of EC 18. Very creamy...touch of tobacco. I like it. I've found that if I'm going to drink a 90 proofer it has to be the first pour of the night.
