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:

James, My son is a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan, so in recent years when the Phils were out of it and Boston was in the World Series, I was pulling for the Red Sox :grin:

[OscarV]

Wild Turkey Rare Breed, neat.

[Gillman]

A Sazerac. I used a blend of bourbons and ryes, two absinthes, two shots of Peychaud's bitters and a dash of maple syrup. It is absolutely great.

A Yuengling Black & Tan to start. Now, a small pour of a single barrel bottling of Buffalo Trace. I opened this one up last night, and at the time I kept telling myself that this was the best BT I had ever had. Tonight's follow-up is supporting my first impressions.

Yo Birdboy! Who won that round? I say it was a toss up between the Fitz BIB and the Old No. 8 from the early 90's.

Just my thoughts!

[birdman1099]

you got it !!!! They are both great in very different ways !!!!

However, I am an SW fan !!!!:grin:

I've currently stepped it up a notch while watching MNF....

Pappy 15 BD select

Willett 27

Parkers Heritage 2007 (122.6)

(if i don't slow down, i'll miss the end of the game !!!):bigeyes:

[smokinjoe]

A nice pour of 2004 ER17, while finishing up making a bamboo flute with my daughter for her music class project. Wow, this is good stuff. Why does it seem every bourbon I try lately is "the best EVER". I must be in the bourbon zone...

[shyster512]

Just finishing a bottle of 20 year ol Pappy.

[GOCOUGS2002]

Opened up some Ridgemont Reserve 1792 that my wife bought for me (she liked the bottle)...didn't really like it much; not much of a nose nor did it wow the palate.

After the disappointing 1792 I opened up ERSB...Great second choice.

Hey, I just noticed, does your Washington location mean you're back home? Sorry if I missed it. I do remember you saying it was going to be in the fall, though. Well, welcome back!

Thanks! Arrived back in the states about two weeks ago and enjoying some time off.

[fishnbowljoe]

Jason, The ERSB is a good first choice too!:slappin: Glad you're back. Joe

[chefnash51]

Tried two new ones last night. FRSmB and Stagg.. I will leave the FRSmB comments for the BOTM... but the Stagg was damn good. It is right up there with PVW 15 for me.

It was so rich, deep, bold, and very satisfying.

[OscarV]

Four Roses Single Barrel, neat.

Not a special private bottle, just a standard release.

That is if you can say any FRSB is just standard.

[PhilsFan]

I'm enjoying a pour and a half of 2008 William Larue Weller to celebrate

Election Night 2008 and the end of having to watch and hear all those political commercials.

-Joe

[OscarV]

I just poured a Parker's Heritage Collection 2008, neat.

The nose draws you in, it is so deep, you don't know weather to drink it or keep smelling.

[callmeox]

Dogfish Head Burton Baton (10% ABV...wow) and a bourbon to be named later.

Alright, Oscar, cut to the chase !!!! Is it worth the price. (don't steer a bird wrong !!)

Joe, I'm enjoying the election coverage with a 2008 WLW as well. thanks agian for the tip !!!!:bowdown:

[Special Reserve]

WT12 CGL, Hm, its feeling good.

[ACDetroit]

2008 Stagg for me tonight. I needed BIG PROOF for election night! I touched the Stagg with a cap full of water and wow does it really open up! Amazing stuff.

[bigtoys]

Lot B for Barack.

Listening to his victory speech as I type this.

Almost wish I had tried for a ticket to Grant Park, but I'm comfy on my couch in the northern burbs.

[fishnbowljoe]

Bowling night. JB White and Coke to start. Then some ERSB/Julio's that I snuck in with me.:grin: Joe

[Luna56]

ERSB 10 here. Started off with a triple, then a double.

Had to have one more little pour just to commemorate the end of the election, so glad it is over. As new trevails begin, it's a comfort to face them with the warm glow of America's Finest Spirit in me.

Cheers!
