What bourbon are you drinking now?

As you're sitting in front of your computer reading this forum, what's in your glass?

OFFBB Spring 1990, definetly one of my favourites

Well, right this second I'm not drinking anything... but already I can tell that this day is going to call for some serious... tasting...

So, with that in mind, I will probably have one of my work buddies over to the house and sit back with a few pours of ERSB or Old Forrester 100 proof (or both!) .

Cheers!

George T Stagg, 131.8 Spring 2005 Lot B. I would concur with the distillery, "robust" is an appropriate description. I'm not a good enough taster to taste the orange that others have found, but I have oak and anisette in abundance.

A little Rock Hill to get started and on to some Blanton's.
ORVW 15yo 107 for a night cap......

I'm also having a small pour of Spring Stagg. The predominant aroms is...hops. That's right, hops. Not from the bourbon mind you, but I just finished racking an IPA from primary to secondary and I have Centennial hop residue on my hands from where I am dry-hopping for aroma.

Ahem...back to the bourbon. I get the citrus notes upon which others have commented, but I also get a good dose of spice (allspice, nutmeg, cinnimon). So the underlying flavor/aroma is of russian/spice tea.

Except for the Blanton's, that's my ultimate combination!

How is the Spring Stagg compared to last year's Stagg? (Same style/quality, better, not as good, etc.)

[jeff]

I happen to prefer last years to all others, but this is still quite good!

Thanks. I will bring a bottle to the Gazebo Saturday night. If we don't drink it, maybe someone will want it real bad.
