What are you Drinking Fall '08

[chilidawg7]

Enjoying a nice, relaxing pour of Bernheim Wheat. it hits the spot tonight.

In my Rare Breed snifter, a shot of Tony's 1970's Benchmark. This has a nose you just don't find today - melded fine wood and old roses, like a Brach's caramel that fell into a box of Turkish delight and was quickly pulled out. (I have never had Brach's but people have mentioned it so often I feel I know it!). The bourbon is round, sweet, caramel-like, soft with a long brandy-like finish. The most brandy-like whiskey I know. Thanks again Tony, and there's still a few ounces left!

I'm very happy to read your enjoying it Gary! Awesome. You are welcome and any time.

WT101 at the bowling alley tonight. I was pressed in to service to sub for my one of my cousins and I bowled like a complete moron.

[callmeox]

A couple of Saz Jr whiskey sours with a splash of blood orange bitters for variety on an unseasonably warm Halloween night.

I also discovered that my neighbor across the street is a budding burbonite, so I poured a bit of Lot B and WT12 for him to try. He's a Beam Black guy, but the Lot B really made his jaw drop.

Interesting day at work...the painters were painting my office...all the furniture was moved away from walls and I was in the center on a conference call learning a new program on my computer.

We handed out candy tonight until about 8:45...still have plenty left.

Then I was able to clear my paint affected sinuses with a healthy pour of

VOB bib... Happy Halloween!

Its Halloween and the trick or treating is over. I'm relaxing with an Elmer T. Lee on the rocks. This bottle was purchased in Kentucky in the summer of 2005 and it is perfectly delicious!

Margaritas (with Milagro and agave nectar), WLW '07, and lots of Pappy 15.

[JamesW]

on to some VSOF...

[OscarV]

OK, let me run them down if I can remember them all.

I started with the Four Roses Single Barrel McScrooges bottle, neat.

Grilled a couple of porterhouses then had a Parker's Heritage Collection 2008, neat.

Followed by the Willetts 25yo Cali botle, neat.

Hmm,...OK so I was feeeling OK, so even a young Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit would fit in by now, also neat.

Looked around to see what was open.

Nothing really looked that good.

So I went for it,.... yes I am so glad I bunker.

Cuz I came up with a Four Roses Single Barrel general release.

I have two left, one from the LW warehouse and one from the ES warehouse.

So I am going for the ES.

I can't recall ever having it before.

I'll let ya'll know later.

I had an Old Grand Dad 86-proof on the rocks while I was grilling two very thick ribeyes and watching college football. This made for a very nice afternoon!

Sounds like a slice o' heaven, Tim (or maybe two, thick center cuts of it).

Cheers!

So I am going for the ES. (edit; from The FRSB)

I can't recall ever having it before.

I'll let ya'll know later.

Yeah, I liked it a lot,... now Iam eyeing an un-opened WTRB,... maybe, maybe not.

I'll probably pull the trigger, heck it is only 8pm.

Funny how us Michigan hounds are on the same page. I am drinking some Four Roses Single Barrel as well, so I looked at the warehouse on the bottle and you know what!!

ES is in the glass and I have to agree Oscar! It's very good.

Four Roses Binny's Barrel #3--just uncorked it tonight. Celebrating my 21st anniversary; my wife's having some bubbly.

[ILLfarmboy]

WT Rye, again tonight.

[gothbat]

Earlier in the evening I picked up a single Jack Daniels Lynchburg Lemonade on a whim. I remember liking this stuff however this one I didn't care for and dumped. It smelled like a bar and tasted too sweet! Now it's time for some FR120th, great stuff. The first time I had some from this bottle I thought it was too hot but ever since then it's been ok and no water has been needed.

[spun_cookie]

1/2 bottle of WT 86.8 from 1980.... just right

[fishnbowljoe]

Went out to dinner with some friends. Had a JB Black and Coke there. We then went to watch another friends daughter at her roller derby match. Afterwards, we all went to a small place for a couple of drinks. Had a couple of JB White and Cokes there. I'm home now, and I'm having a nightcap of WT RR 10/90. Great way to finish off a long day.

Now that baseball is over, I can go into football mode...I'm enjoying a tight (so far) Packers-Titans game and enjoying ORVW 10/107.

[PhilsFan]

After a close Titans-Packers game (you TN folks must be pretty excited about your Titans) have moved on to the Giants-Cowboys and JTS Brown.

[polyamnesia]

began with some of DICKEL 12....then the OLD TAYLOR 6 (almost gone)...then a splash of each in the same glass...a nice blending of an 80 and 90 proofer

[ACDetroit]

Tonight was a birthday party (nephew turned 2). My brother-in-law has his dad's mini collection so I went hunting. Way in the back he as tax stamp less than 1/2 pint OGD 86 from 1975 so I ask hey you gonna drink this? To no surprise to me he said "hell no!" "You want it?" So I grabbed a glass, this stuff from the 70's I've found is all very similar. It's unique stuff, with citrus, and spice, red hots, but then everything gets overpowered by some acetone or varnish flavor that goes right into the finish. I really thought the last bottle I had was bad but every one I have found from this era is the same. Not bad just different. I think the late 70's thru early 90's OGD is the best I've had, but that's just my opinion.

Congrats on your baseball season! My mother's from Philly so I have a soft spot for you guys.... well only once Boston was out of the race :grin:

[bigtoys]

Finishing a pour of Bulleit. One cube mellows it a little.
