OGD 86 proof (National era, from a Quart bottle).
So, I'm starting to catch on to the fact that National-era OGD is not for me. I really like the nose on this bourbon, but on the palate I'm getting a lot of the overly woody, dry, astringent notes that I was noticing on my OGD BIB (National).

Who stole the cork from my breakfast?
Sorry everyone, but:
When in Rome, ..........
Hanging out in warm and sunny Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco, Mexico, the home of tequila. Enjoying a "pseudo-margarita"--Tequila con Squirt. And a nice Cuban smoke out on the patio at night.

Although I got some 2006 WLW from the BTAC in today I am drinking the 2007 117.9 proof.
I cut it down to 100 proof and it is very tasty, reminds me of Weller 12yo with apricot.

Not home yet, but I've been thinking of some fine ORVW!
Started with Centennial 13 yr, finishing with Very Special Old Fitz. I'd say that this old fitz tastes alot like a younger Pappy 20. Anyone had that flavor profile come out.... the similarities are tremendous.

Since I've nearly run out of new stuff to try from my Chicago haul, I decided to open the GTS '07.
I think that I smell and taste the appeal, but this will definitely be a special occasion only pour for me.
Started with some Redbreast 12 year and then moved on to early 80's Wild Turkey 8 year 101.
