tommyboy38 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm drinking WL Weller 12 but I feel bad for not posting in the Spring 09 thread. It's very springlike in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 We had a board meeting in our local bourbon club BBB yesterday. Lots of different bourbons afterwards: Barrett’s 20 years (Michters), vintage 17, OGD BIB, OGD 114, OGD BIB 1976, FRSB, FRSB 120 and ORVW 10-107. I do feel it a little today.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon2 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 ETL for me. Hey, cookie, ever try a mint julep as refreshment on a hot day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spun_cookie Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 ETL for me. Hey, cookie, ever try a mint julep as refreshment on a hot day?Yes sir. I use JD or other more acidic feeling/tasting bourbons because, to me, they bring out the best of the mint to me...Tonight it is 200 ml of IW Harper 80 proof from the late 80s and the some Old Fitz... I am on a cruise and brought a variety of bourbons (200s and 375s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilidawg7 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Been a while since i've been here, but I'm back. Tonight I am enjoying a nice, healthy pour of Ancient Ancient Age. A nice ending to an otherwise sub-par evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I AM starting to figure out what everybody is talking about here. Nice, nice stuff.Lot B is awesome!I just finished off a Dark Top '02 WTKS yesterday -- it was a pretty good pour, for sure. Still, I don't think it's too much better than the current Rare Breed or 101 and nowhere near as good as the Rare Breed I have from '96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon2 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 JBB in a mint julep. Very straightforward taste, not complex at all. Almost like drinking Coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3Nut Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Last night's enjoyment was about 3/4 oz of Blanton's followed by about 3/4 oz of Old Forester BIB. I was getting interesting tobacco notes out of the OF. Tasty end to a rather nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them, and the quality shows, but I've had ORVW 90, 107, Lot B, PVW 20 & 23, and I still think the Weller 12 is better than any of them, although the 107 is close to being on par with it. They're all good, but I've never been wow'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all good, but I've never been wow'd.Josh, I love me some Turkey . . . I didn't mean to insinuate otherwise.As far as VWs are concerned, I think we probably have very similar opinions . . . I've gone on record as saying I hadn't met a VW that I loved. I liked the OWA 7/107 better than the ORVW 10/107 by a long shot (I'm really interested to give this one another try, though), the PVW20 is damn good but not worth the price, the PVW23 is just nasty, I haven't had the 15 yet, but the Lot 'B' . . . wow. I will say that (going back to my leader/follower theory) I always use OWA as a prelude to the Lot 'B' . . . after the OWA has gone down, a pour of Lot 'B' is next to amazing. Also, the VW Rye is outta sight! I have only had one tiny taste of the Weller 12, so I can't comment -- I thought it stood its ground against Weller Centennial, though . . . my cousin is hopefully brining me 2 Weller 12s this weekend from Boston, so if she comes through, I'm interested to see how it stacks up . . . just my two cents, but I say remember the leader/follower thing . . . it has changed my mind significantly a few times.cheers.

Josh Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Had a pour of KC at the bar to finish my long Tuesday lunch. Unfortunately, the owner was there so I got a tiny pour:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLfarmboy Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 some Buffalo Trace tonight..... the owner was there so I got a tiny pour:mad:I hate when that happens. There is a bar in Galesburg ILL. called Big John's Silver Dollar Saloon. When he's behind the bar he measures every pour. Plus, the man doesn't exactly have the gift of gab. He's sort of surly.

Solomon2 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 JBB on top of Hiram Walker Chocolate Mint liqueur. No matter how I stir it, the two don't seem to mix, and separate out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
