OscarV Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I started with a '08 WLarueW 125.3prf, neat.Followed by a '07 Parker's Heritage 122.6prf, neat.I have said it before but I am saying it again, I feel very fortunate and blessed to have bourbons like these.

nor02lei Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yesterday it was Overholt 1810, VOB 12 years and Seagram’s Benchmark, all bottled in the seventies. The Barton’s was the best and it has approved very much by oxidation and is now very good for an 86 proof bourbon. Today I have had WT 8 export, the same Barton again and another bottle from the seventies, a seven year’s old Old Hickory.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Started a long journey with an 04 ER17. Spectacular.

callmeox Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Since winter has raced up on us with great anger, I figured that I would try the Four Roses hot toddy recipe in my new cup as a way to defrost. I mixed it up just like the directions but I had to dump it out after a couple of sips. I think that I need to adjust the recipe because three cloves of garlic seems a bit excessive for such a small portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Okay, I hope to God you're kidding. But just in case you're not, that's three cloves of cloves not three cloves of garlic.Merry Christmas.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Lamplighter Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 A little ERSB w/nog followed by a very allocated pour of PVW15 (running low + price is getting too steep); capped the evening with my fav winter pour this year: VWFRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
