What bourbon are you drinking? Winter 12/13

Larceny, KC and poker with some friends last night.

[Special Reserve]

A little OWA NAS this morning. Say what you will about the NAS, this is good bourbon.

A heathy pour from a 2001 pewter top WTKS followed by some 2008 Binny's ETL that I forgot was open.

It's amazing what you find in the back of the cabinet when you move a few things around.

Bourbon based cocktail with lunch using Barton, Ameretto, orange juice and grenadine.

Sipping on a Private Selection Four Roses Single barrel OESO recipe, it is a darn fine pour and I will be going back soon to pick up another bottle

[LCWoody]

It's very good, extremely smooth. Very soft on the front with some burn at the end. There has been so much hype about this bourbon that you expect this big wow factor that I did not get. It is one of the best that I've ever had, but for me I have had better. It could be that I like barrel prof bourbons, I like the strong stuff!!!!

Woody I got a few bottles of the Hirsch 16 way back when and for some reason didn't get around to opening them for quite awhile. When the hype got going a friend and I opened one and my first thought was, well . . .that's nice . . . but it didn't make me do handsprings or anything. By the second glass I decided it was a good whisky but overpriced by at least a factor of three.

Scarcity and name recognition are what drive these prices up.
