chilidawg7 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Had some Pappy 15 this morning for breakfast, then this evening I am treating myself to some GTS '08 in one of my new Glencairn glasses from Malt Advocate.

smokinjoe Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 We had our traditional Christmas Eve celebration with a house full of family and a great treat this year...My son and his family in from Hawaii (Hickham AFB) for the first time in three years! It was lots of fun...capped off by a pour of one of my favorites... PVW 20. Merry Christmas! -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLfarmboy Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Earlier I was drinking El Tesoro reposado but now I'm drinking some Handy. Talk about a contrast. The El Tesoro is quite flavorful since it comes off the still at the second distillation at just a couple proof points above its bottling proof of 80 but the Handy still has three times as much flavor.:grin: Tomorrow I will be taking a couple bottles of mead (Redstone Traditional Mountain Honey Wine) over to my brother-in-law's for Christmas along with a few bottles of Pinot Grigio. I might take a bottle of Baby Saz and some fixin's for some Old Fashioneds but based on who I know will definitely make it, considering the weather, I doubt there will be any whiskey drinkers there.

nor02lei Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Yesterday I had vintage 21 rye and ORVW 10 107. Both were excellent. With the Christmas meal (we calibrate December 24 in first hand) I had 4 different home flavoured neutral spirits.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Finished a great Christmas dinner and decided to pass on dessert. (OK, postponed... I'll have it later.) Sitting by the fire and counting my blessings... which include a healthy pour of PVW 23 SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gblick Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The last of the Christmas Day guests have left, and I'm relaxing with some ORVW 10/107. Actually, I've been sipping this stuff all day. Will probably progess to some Pappy 15 & 20 later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gothbat Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I started off with some VWSR12, then went to some '08 GTS, and now I'm sipping on some '08 Saz18. I'll probably move on to some Rittenhouse BIB next. We have some people over and my cousin has been all over my last batch of homebrew so in addition to enjoying some primo whiskey I also get the satisfaction that my friend and I did well on our beer! :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeox Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Although I arrived at my favorite watering hole after the kitchen closed for the night so I didn't get any dinner, I did get to enjoy a couple of Bulleit Manhattans. The bartender has really gotten the hang of putting them together just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLfarmboy Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Although I arrived at my favorite watering hole after the kitchen closed for the night...... .My sympathies....... I hate when that happens.My favorite bars were, and still are, those with a 24 hr. restaurant as part of the same business. To me, that's a big selling point..............

nor02lei Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I did share some ORVW 10 107 and ORVWFRR B with my 19 year old son yesterday after our Christmas meal. My other son (21) doesn’t drink any alcohol at all so he had to settle with coffee.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickert Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Went to Heaven Hill's tasting room and tried the EW SB Vintage (98) and the EC18. I was disappointed with the EC18 (sorry Andy). There was too much tannic oak on the end of it. I was very pleased with the EWSB. It wasn't mind blowing, but considering I am not generally impressed by any of the EW expressions, this was outstanding. I rated it .5 higher than the EC18 on my personal 10 point scale.

There was too much tannic oak on the end of it. I just finished off an EC18 tonight and I agree that it IS quite tannic, maybe too much so. Still, I can handle a little oakiness, and it seems that on the second pour of the night this flavor diminishes considerably. I'm not sure if I will replace the fallen soldier right away, however....might let it be until I feel a hankerin' for chewing on a piece of oak...
