Back to Ole Faithful, WT 101 tonight....
I started the evening with a couple of pours of ORVW 10 yo 90 proof. Later I had a beer. When I got home a had some Fighting Cock 6 yo. This is my first bottle of the 6 year old. I have drunk a fair bit of the FC 15 yo that we get here in Japan and really like it. I was surprised by how much I like the 6 year old. I will have a pour of the FC 15 later to compare the two.

Bourbon makes me happy.
Go Fighters!
Grabbed a generous pour of Hancock Single Barrel. When I'm in the mood for something really mellow with good bourbon taste, I head for this particular BT offering.
I began with the last pour from a bottle of Tangle Ridge (Canadian), and now I'm trying out my first pour of EWSB '96 - barrel #575.
I'm finding that it strongly resembles the Kentucky Vintage that I recently polished off - the menthol signature is quite evident in the finish, and it took a few sips to coax out the vanilla side. The more I sip, though, the more I like it.
Oh no! You have walked into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue!
Cracked open a bottle of 2001 ER 17. WOW! Delicate sweetness, definite nutty tones, very smooth and well-balanced. And all without the heavy woodiness found in some other ER 17 bottlings.
I think I may be in love....

Started off with Scotch, Dalwhinnie and then switched over to Bernheim. I'm all warm inside.
Went to a bar and had...
- x2 Blantons from two different bottles. Interesting! Very different!\
- Old Gand-dad 114: First time ever trying this. The Beam influance is unmistakable! Tastes like Booker junior to me!
- Sazerac Cocktail made with Cdn. Club whisky. Not bad, but I see how much better this would be made with straight rye...
Started with some Buffalo Trace, followed by EC18.
Had some DSP 14 OGD BIB. Now onto some OGD114.
Lets see..the Cowboys lost by a point, my Jets got wrecked, the Giants got cut down along with the shedding Christmas tree. Only a couple pours of PVW20 and a late evening with sb.com can help. Thanks Pappy!
