What bourbon are you drinking today? Autumn '12

[atfree]

Some 2011 ER17. This stuff goes down easily. I would call it an everyday pour if the price wasn't so high.

Giving Larceny another go. Bottle has been open a few weeks now.

Some circa-1990 Forester Bonded. So good. I wonder if B-F did the preliminary toasting of barrels it does now for JD and I'd think its bourbon brands too. The 1990 seemed less sweet than today's (which I like too), more restrained in taste maybe, but elegant. I got this in a small San Francisco liquor store last year, and have to husband it, these dimpled bottles are harder and harder to find today.

Gary, is your bottle DSP-354? I recently found some OF Bonded 354 from around 94, and really enjoyed it, especially after a week of being opened. Having loved older 414 bottlings, I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm curious as well. I have a 354 Forester BiB from the early 90's as well, and I found it to be restrained and tasting "aged" mores so than the 4 years in the barrel--with a dark molasses or even burnt caramel flavor that I found to be very intriguing and unlikely anything else I've had. I wonder if it's slow oxidation over time in the bottle or if the bourbon always tasted this way

GTS 2011

The last of the bottle.

Drinking some OGD BiB, I've been enjoying this bottle the past couple of days

Enjoyed a nice pour of Weller 12 while watching the espn documentary on Ben Johnson. This is my first bottle of the 12 year and I feel it's improved greatly after being open for a few weeks. As for the documentary, I really think they can make one on girls tee ball and I'd watch it. They're just so well made.

DSP-414 old forester BIB, I am almost shocked how much this pour tastes like rum

An EC15 that is rounding out nicely after getting some air for a few weeks.
