What bourbon are you drinking? Winter 12/13

[LCWoody]

I have 3 bottles of Hirsch 16 I bought about 4 years ago for $69.95 at a local store. I don't know why I never opened them. I'm glad I didn't pay any more for them.

It's been a Maker's Mark and Larceny night for me. Having them side by side the Larceny is the winner with it being more viscous and flavorful.

I enjoy both pours Joe, and go back and forth as to a favorite on any given night. The interesting thing to me, is that they are more similar in style, than say, as each would be compared to OWA. The OWA is a much more oilier, bolder, and viscous than the others, where MM and Larceny are softer and drier. Have you compared them yet to OWA?

[smknjoe]

Absolutely, they are very similar and the difference in viscosity is slight (if not in my head.) Last night Larceny was just hitting "the spot" better. As compared to OWA, I would again have to agree. MM and Larceny are more similar to each other than they are to OWA. I certainly would not discount any of them as they are good pours at good prices. Larceny goes for $20.99 around here.

Last night was a giant batch of Manhattan's made with Rittenhouse BiB. Toomuch going on to try and enjoy anything other than a cocktail of some kind.

I don't know if it is me, or what, but every now and then when I'm drinking this Rittenhouse, i catch a whiff of musty/moldy basement. It's a real turn off, and it happened again last night.

Barton Manhattan served up with lunch.

Grrrr.... Larceny is another value-priced bourbon I can't find around here in AZ. I'll have to add it to my order when I talk to my local Total Wine manager about getting some Elmer T Lee.

I just saw it for the first time today at my local BevMo, actually. Previously, I'd ordered it elsewhere.

Poured some Taylor Tornado into a brandy snifter, with an ice water back. An excellent way to close out a nice grilled Rib Eye dinner.

A little OGD BiB, which kills a 200 mL bottle. Might move on to the '08 OFBB, since I had the '05 last night. See what changes have occurred in the month or so that one has been open.
