What bourbon are you drinking? Winter 12/13

Having some Rare Breed after a long walk in the cold night air. Great!

From the "They don't make bourbon like this, anymore" category, it's an '82 Yellowstone Mellow Mash 7yr 91 proof. It's not that it's "better" than bourbons of today, as I enjoy a number of current bourbons at least as much, if not better than the Mellow Mash. But, it is indeed, different, as many of those old-timey whiskies are, as compared to the newer offerings. This one doesn't have that "rumminess" quality, like many of the oldies. Rather, this one has that old-timey, "sweet woodiness" to it. If I were to describe this whiskey in one word, it would be "chewy". And, it's a wonderful treat.

My first ever pour of OGD BiB. It's not the 114, for sure.

Yellowstone was a favorite of mine for years, and , during it's day, was the best selling Bourbon in Kentucky.

It's been a night of wine and Four Roses...

Last night I spent some time with WT 101 Rye, Sazarac 18, and a 5 year Willett Rye. I know the WT 101 Rye gets a lot of thumbs up around here, and I think it is a decent pour, but the 5 year Willett Rye in my opinion completely overshadows it with it's youthful power and it's rye flavors. It works great in a cocktail, on ice, or straight up. Definitely worth the $10 extra, and if it remains as available as it is around me, I won't fret too much over not being able to get WT 101 Rye.

That being said, as always, Saz 18 does not disappoint.

A little PHC 10 aside the morning coffee. A wonderful way to start a relaxed day where the big agenda item is admiring the scenery outback. A little snow fall sure makes the cardinals stand out.

A little Barton in the coffee ruminating over the fact my Barton supply is drying up.

Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, neat.
OK, I have had this bottle open since Saturday and I like it less and less.

Coming from another Turkey fan that is not encouraging Oscar!
