What Are You Drinking Tonight, Winter'07/'08

Nice work Greg! I to am having some WT 8 yr old tonight. Mine is an import Litre from the Canadian border.

Tony,

I'm going to be hosting a "Turkey Shootout" on May 3rd. Give me your impressions of the current 8 year. I have two bottles and will be opening one for the tasting. Gonna mix it up between current and older iterations. The 8 year 101 I'm drinking right now is a really good pour.

I had a Jim Beam on the rocks at dinner. And I must admit I was surprised to find that the steakhouse where we ate didn't serve Maker's Mark. I hope to correct that. Right now I'm enjoying Buffalo Trace on the rocks.

Greg, I find the import just classic WT! maybe not quite as sweet as the old with a bit more oak. The classic WT nuttyness is in the finish on this bottle but like you said and I'll repeat I really like this one as well. The alcohol burn is in the finish which I find odd but up front this one it smooth as silk.

Hop it helps! Let me know your thoughts on it in May?

Cheers!

Tony

Was able to fly back to Louisville this afternoon despite the ice storm . . . power still out in Lake Forest, so came over to watch the UL game at my folks house . . . choices were Maker's, Woodford and the Bernheim Wheat which I had yet to try . . . expectations were low, but the Bernheim Wheat wasn't bad at all . . .

Hey Guys, wrong thread.
You want Winter '08/'09, not this one.
