Went back to an old reliable. Maker's Mark. Been having/trying other bourbons for a long while. It's nice to revisit an old friend. Went down nice and smooth. Joe

Well, started with VVOF 61, ORVW 15/107, then closed with a healthy amount of 2004 B-Day bourbon

Last night it was Lagavulin 16 and then some Talisker 18. Liking these drams a lot.

After a long and bizarre week which has finally ended in Mother's Day festivities, I am now getting back to my first new bourbon love, Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit.
This was one of my first "premium" purchases several years ago and it is still my favorite.

Last night whilst going through our Kentucky photos, I started out with a pour of Van Winkle 13yo Rye, then moved onto some Elmer T Lee after dinner. Inspired by my photo of the Booker Noe statue, I finished with a pour of Bookers from a bottle I stuck in the freezer earlier in the day...... and I enjoyed them all from a very nice Woodford Reserve glass I got at the Sampler

Starting with Centennial 13 yr from Julio's and then I think I'll have either a Pappy 20 or 15 depending on the mood.... either way it's going to be a nice finale.

Courtesy of BobbyC, I am finishing a bottle of 2001 W.L. Weller 19yo from the Sampler just past. Though I realize it is not a favorite of Bobby, I deign to disagree -- it is a very expressive pour of vintage and well-aged Stitzel-Weller.
It doesn't hurt that the black walnut nose reminds me of the walnut trees first growing, then harvested from, the yard of my childhood farmhouse. There were many a year when we scattered the walnuts in the driveway in order that passing cars would effectively shell the nuts.
The walnuts also pass to the palate, where sweetmeat centers display just before they drying tannins provide a distracting bitterness in the finish.
Were it not for that late, tannic dryness, this would be an archetypal wheated bourbon. Still, with a touch of water -- which softens the finish, but also the main savor -- it is a fine pour.
And so, I end where I began, with great appreciation to Bobby. Many thanks.

Earlier I had a Weller Antique old fashioned and now I'm enjoying a snifter of Booker's.
