What Bourbon Are You Drinking? Summer 2009

[Joshua]

Had some Booker's tonight at a local bar. I found it lacking flavor for that proof, boring finish, no real personality and character. Not /bad/ but for that price, I find Stagg and WLW far far superior, with Rare Breed and OGD114 being better and much cheaper for the higher proof bourbons.

I did have Mellow corn and OGD 114 before dinner yesterday. Stagg 2008 and fernet branca after (the later is 50% for taste and 50 % for medicine).

Having some Van Winkle Lot B, neat.

Heading out to KY & TN tomorrow and thinking about all that bourbon down there.

Don't just think about it ... buy!

Bring on the stimulus!

[indyrider]

A bit of Four Roses Single followed by PVW15....Doesn't get any better than that. Well.....

I'm off to KY again in a few days to find some Weller, any Weller, preferably BTAC WLW....Tips, anyone, anyone

WT 101, Wathens, and now more Wathens. Something about the Wathens that I really enjoy. Sweet on the entry and then spicy finish. I'm verily impressed. I think this one will rise in price quickly once it catches on.

Had a little swig of OGD BIB awhile ago, now having a bit of WT101. I gotta say, WT101 is mighty hard to beat for an everyday go-to bottle.

I can beat it. Tom Moore BIB. Lots of cherry cordial and ripe fruit flavor. I have been drinking it for a couple years now. $18.99 for a 1.75.

[B3Nut]

Hmm, never seen that around here. It sounds delicious. I'll keep the eyes peeled. Taking a break from yardwork (took the week off to work around the house...I'm so busy otherwise everything piles up!) with a shot of OGD BIB and a tall glass of ice water. Bourbon neat with an ice water back...life is gooooood! :cool: I'm seriously digging OGD BIB @ 14.99/750ml...

Yesterday I had Dickel 8 before dinner. As I wasn’t sure what to drink with the blueberry cake for dessert I did try both Dickel 12 and WT 8. The Turkey turned out best!

Never seen that myself. I have to agree with B3Nut that the WT101 is an outstanding everyday pour. WT has done a great job of mass producing a high quality upper shelf bourbon.

Elmer T. Lee is turning 90. Elmer T. Lee Bourbon is 90 proof. My bottle of Elmer T. Lee is about 90% gone.

You got it. I'm sippin ETL!!

Centennial

I'm hoping to get some 12 here in the near future. Then I can pop a LaRue and taste a flight.

[Joshua]

ERSB, then up in the air, maybe OGD114.

[JamesW]

Wathen's, WT101, and now OGD114. ahhhhh!

[B3Nut]

In honor of Elmer T. Lee's upcoming 90th I thought I'd have a couple pours of the two BT bourbons I have in the house. I started with ETL which was as always wonderful and am finishing off with some Blantons. A mighty tasty evening. Cheers to Mr. Lee!

Dickel 8 again before dinner yesterday. After dinner I did pick up a WTRR 101 from my bunker. It was quit a wile since I had that one last. It was good as hell, even better than I did remember. I had several glasses including one with blueberry cake and ice-cream witch turned out even better than the 8 years I had with the same dessert the day before. As I only have 2 or 3 bottles left in my bunker I did decide to make a try to find some in cyberspace. We will se if I do succeed as it is basically sold out.

[ggilbertva]

I've been mixing it up while on vacation. I have enjoyed some WT101 and THH (08) over a couple of evenings. In addition, mixed drinks and beer have kept me busy.

[DeanSheen]

Last night is was a couple Four Roses Small Batch.

Ahh wood & juicy fruit. Tasty!

[nor02lei]

I did have a dusty Kentucky gentleman bottled 1970 before outdoor grilling yesterday. It was surprisingly sweet and chewy for the low proof and had real nice vanilla and fruit character. It reminded me a little of WT 101 from the same time epoch despite only 86 proof. To the grilled banana with hazelnut ice cream and chocolate souse I had JDSS witch was an excellent combination. Well inside again I did round up the evening with a glass of WTRR 101.
