What bourbon are you drinking? Winter 12/13

[ChainWhip]

trying to do my best Squire impersonation - drinking EC12 two days in a row (I know, I know... I have a long way to go)

Rain and sleet are coming down hard which calls for a winter warmer--2008 GTS and maybe some '08 WLW to follow.

Now this is a man that knows how to protect himself from the elements.

Had three small pours last night. 2002 EWSB, Maker's 46 and Larceny.

This was my second pour from this EWSB, and it still isn't doing anything for me. Not likely to be a regular purchase or pour for me.

Maker's 46 is still solid, definitely more interesting than the regular Maker's, and a decent buy at $32.

Larceny has opened up nicely after being open for a few weeks, and certainly has a place in my rotation.

Woodford Reserve, I used to really like this but since I have expanded my bourbon horizons, I reach for this one less than I used to. Followed it with a Taylor Tornado, a fairly unique pour. Stopped in my local and they were test marketing a new Jameson's black label Irish, nice but pales by comparison to Bushmill's Black Bush.

Quick question: I was thinking about pulling the trigger on a VSOF 12 the other night, but I don't really know too much about it. It was $31 at the local store. I tried to look at the BOTM post about it, but it was from 2009. Can someone tell me whether this is a "yay" or a "nay"?

Yay from me. I picked up my first bottle of VSOF12 recently and have had a few pours. It's a nice wheater so I'd say go for it especially at $31. (I think I paid around $40 after tax) Not as good as Weller 12 IMO, but definitely worth it at that price if you like wheaters.

Bourbon based cocktail with lunch, Barton, Amaretto. orange juice and a splash of grenadine.

That sounds pretty good right there.

BTW -- do you own stock in Barton?

A whole bunch of OWA for me lately. It's really been tasting good.

Even if he doesn't, maybe we should.
