What bourbon are you drinking? Winter 12/13

Started with VSOF12, then WLW12, ORVW10/107 and now TPS Bowman #45.

Getting things together before a busy week ahead, with a rock solid pour of KBS 2010 Selection of 1792. Barton, nearly at its best. Barton's best is just a dream...A fantasy of this whiskey with a few more Summers in Warehouse Z, bottled at Barrel Proof, and taking its place in a long tall bottle within the BTAC....A man can dream, can't he?!?!?

Having a pour of FRSB LE 2012 tonight.

Starting the night out with the SB blend at roughly a 2/1 ratio of OWA to W12.

I read this, and immediately thought of the scene from When Harry Met Sally:

I'll have what he's having.

Starting the night out with the SB blend at roughly a 2/1 ratio of OWA to W12.

And I'm on my second pour of the same blend, but mixed 1:1.

And now closing out the weekend with a freshly opened GTS (2012)

Pouring a little 2003 EWSB tonight.

[SLOandSteady]

Sipping on a little WL Weller 12. I recently decided to open my bottle of FRSB, so it'll be nice to compare. FRSB was different than anything I have tasted so far.

Hirsch 16, followed by 4R 120th Anniversary, then Rathskellar rye 14/138, and tied up with a PHC 1st edition 1st dump, from a bottle signed by Parker Beam himself. For the nose, the 4R 120 won it, the Hirsch 16 for flavour, mouthfeel and complexity, but the PHC had balance that left the finish resonating forever. For my money though the Rathskellar Rye was the real standout. Upon a lot of watering down I found many notes that reminded of the VWFRR, but less sweet and with clean oak note that reminds of the Hirsch 22 rye, though most of this pour was savored neat and delicious before the waterdropper was broken out.


I'm in DC for the weekend and decided to drop into Bourbon tonight in the Adams Morgan section of the city. I figured that early on a Sunday night would be a good time to get some alone time in front of an impressive collection. The night did not disappoint. While the actual selection did not correspond exactly with the online menu, there was still plenty to impress, though I left wishing I had tasted everything behind that bar. The William Heavenhill is still calling my name as I nurse this OGD BiB before bed.
