What are you Drinking Fall '08

[OscarV]

O-tay Buckwheat, back on topic....I am drinking Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit, neat.

[fishnbowljoe]

Having some Lot B tonight. Nuff' said.:grin: Joe

[JamesW]

Another 107 proof night. Antique, ORVW, & PVW15.

[fishnbowljoe]

That sounds good too James.:grin: Joe

Late 70's/early 80's Old Forester BIB. I'm down to my last 150ml....will be sad to see it gone. :frown:

[MissingKY]

Broke out a 200ml of Yellowstone I hadn't tried in a while. This one's 90 proof, bottle-bottom date of 1992, says "Distilled by Yellowstone Distillery Co. Louisville, KY" on the bottom. It's a fairly good whiskey for two bucks a 200ml. Nothing really remarkable, maybe a bit bland a little thin in the mouth, but a nice simple bourbon.

One odd thing about it: the finish doesn't feel particularly long, but about 30 seconds after taking a drink, I keep getting an intense taste of maraschino cherries in my mouth.

Woodford, IW Harper 12 and then Jeffersons Reserve 15

Last night I went for Old Fitzgerald gold label. Pappy 15 yr old, Old Heaven Hill 100 and Ancient Age 100...pretty good night..

Last night I poured some VWFRR and then got distracted by a call from work. I got back to it after about an hour and that time in the glass did something amazing to the whiskey. There was more ripe fruit on the nose than I had ever experienced with this bottle. It was a much different pour than when I tried it over the weekend.

There's something about the nose of an older rye that just pushes all of the right buttons for me.

I think I'll have to start planning ahead

Rock Hill Farms, the Julio's Series #2 bottle, neat.

[PhilsFan]

Had an early start today...one of my bourbon lovin' friends from work requested a sampling of the '08 WLW, so we had a group of 6 try it in the 1PM hour...

rave reviews...all of us had it neat.

To make room for the '08's I am finishing a bottle of the '05 Larue, neat.

[smokinjoe]

Just returned from my daughter's school Talent Show. She and a couple of her friends did a terrific dance routine. We toasted with Pappy 23 for me, and Ale-8-One for daughter and momma. It brings that Trace Adkins song to mind..."You're gonna miss this..."

[polyamnesia]

finally....and WOW i am impressed...OLD GRAND DAD 114 !

a nice contrast to the un-rye-ish Joshua Brook.

gave me a nice sense of totally different notes of sweetness. and spice!

hoping the 20.99 price was good...heck, the way it went down before it got chewy and went across the tongue, it was PRICELESS.

[Jazzhead]

Tonight I went back to one I haven't poured from in a while - Rock Hill Farms. The packaging is a nuisance, but the bourbon is smooth. The nose and first flavor reminds me of Old Grandad, a real old time, dry pour. Something sweeter, like the amazing Four Roses single barrel, might punch my ticket next.

Man, I can't stand the RHF bottle. My least favorite bottle. The horsies are nice, but the cork takes a real yank to remove and I confess the occasional urge to take a nip right from the bottle. The wide lip just leads to dribblin'.

[callmeox]

More rye tonight (surprise!). I took VWFRR and Ritt BiB to a friends house to compare a fresh pour of each to one that has had 30 minutes or more to breathe. I think I'm creating another rye fan, though my one bottle of VWFRR took a serious hit tonight.

If anyone sees more on the shelf, please let me know and we can work out a deal or trade since Van Winkle anything is unobtanium in Ohio.

[MJL]

Late 80s J.W. Dant. For a low end Bourbon this one drinks quite nice.

[PhilsFan]

I finished the night last night with Weller 12... I took advantage of the break in the action for the World Series and got to bed early.

[OscarV]

Willett 25yo 90.2prf, the "Cali" bottle, neat.

My wife and I just got back from seeing my daughter and the grandkids in Franklin, TN... they have a great Halloween celebration in the center of town. Found out the World Series was in a rain delay and I didn't miss anything, so with the late start of the game, I'm starting late with JTS Brown.

[spun_cookie]

Old Crow... ...a game a chess a night at a minimum....

[Luna56]

Had some ERSB10 earlier, now trying some Ezra Brooks (the cheap stuff) I bought on a whim. Let's just say that my whims rarely pay off under $10.

I'm severely "underwhimmed." Gonna dump this pour outside and go back in the house for some more ERSB. It's raining buckets, 40 mph gusts, but it'll be worth it.

Cheers!

[polyamnesia]

playing off the two extreme bottles i have in my non-bunker:

back and forth OGD 114 and the Joshua Brook 90...then i did a in-glass vat awhile ago...

that was interesting!

took the 114 edge off...but only for a moment. the JBrook sweetness lingered...then the rye of OGDad asserted it's cinnamon burn.

like a nibble of Hershey's milk chocolake interrupted by a wedge of Special Dark...!:grin:

well, at least, in the 7th, the phils lead, 4-1....

i guess one more slap of OGD 114 will do for now...bourbon like this is dangerous
