My 17 yo looks like barrel 78 (that can't be right can it?). I suppose it could be a 1 rather than a 7, though. Anyhow, that one is about 112 proof.

What bourbon are you drinking today? Autumn '12
Barrel 18 is 101 proof and change. I like both the '12 LE SmB and the series of 16/17 year old gift shop barrels, but I completely agree with your assessment.

See you in a couple weeks buddy!
Moved onto some FR 17yr GS barrel #18 after that and IMO it's a better bourbon. It had more texture and complexity and less heat...IIRC this was a lower proof barrel though...somewhere in the 106 range. Chris can you confirm seeing as you gave me the sample?

Re: What bourbon are you drinking today? Autumn '12
I'm fighting a head cold, so it's been OGD 114 for me for the last few days. Best cough medicine money can buy-- and it opens up my sinuses better than any OTC decongestant. Doesn't hurt that it tastes great, too.
I guess "give 'em the bird" isn't just a marketing slogan, it's a brand management strategy, too.

GTS while winding down for the evening. Made my cranberry relish, prepped my sweet taters, got my turkey in the brine and am now enjoying a fine KY refreshment.

A small pour of Cheesy Gold Labeled WT12. Such wonderfully controlled spice and with hints of sweetness.
A very nice way the start a Thanksgiving Day morning.
