What Bourbon Are You Drinking, Fall 2009

[Kevin]

Had a long day/ week. Started with a OC Classic 90 12yr from '92, Then I thought about how long its been since i've visited my Pappy 15, oh Lord, what a rewarding piece of perfection.

[Josh]

tonight hung out at a friend's place & had:

Weller SR

Woodford Reserve

and ended with Old Grandad BiB.

Good times.:grin:

[B3Nut]

Enjoying a long snifter of Old Forester BIB...methinks I'll sleep well tonight.

[Ruby K]

really glad to hear your news, John, that's great!

We celebrated our first big shabbos meal in the new apartment, so after dinner, i poured a couple drams of Pappy 20. was gonna follow it with the Park Ave Liquor FRSBBS but Pappy was fantastic and just the right way to end the day.

I did have a good drinking day yesterday with WT Rare breed and RR101 before dinner and WT 8 and uncut HH 9 years from Cadenheads after dinner. The 8 years was partly consumed with nut ice cream with matched perfectly. Everything tasted fantastic good. I think it was one of those days when the taste buds were really on top. I do recall from my athletics days that I did have that kind of days (when it came to physical performances) then as well.

Any particular reason for this?

I am 2 weeks and 5 days into no smoking.

Almost caved in last night.

[SBOmarc]

Combination of factors that brought me to the decision. Actually had zero alcohol until last evening when I caved and had a cold beer from my keg. I will PM with details.

Oscar, that's great news -- don't cave! It's gonna be cold outside soon -- no fun smoking in the snow, right? Keep up the good work.

Keep the faith, I am now at 5 years after smoking for about 20. When the cravings got bad I'd just laugh and say "Is this as bad as it gets?" and when I did that the craving would subside somehow....

Good luck!

Your are right about that, I didn't smoke in the house.

As crazy as that sounds I'll bet it does help.

Ok, let's get back on topic, Old Rip Van Winkle 10/107, neat.

Four Roses SB from the Hightower/Curtis barrel while I celebrate the Buckeye win over M*ch*g*n and trip to the Rose Bowl.

[SBOmarc]

We here in SoCal enjoy all of the Big Ten teams that make the annual trek.

If anyone make rip, look me up for a drink.

[spun_cookie]

I have had a few Willetts tonight to prepare my palate for the reception of the much anticipated "Emerald" bottle..... I have fallen in love with the 148 proofer "Dug's and Willy'z"......:grin:

A friend was looking for a bottle of ERSB to keep on hand at his house for me, and couldn't find one, and got really generous- he ended up buying a bottle of Blanton's that was dumped in January 2009. This bottle is especially good! some of the scotch-like notes I remember are absent, and it is overall just a much stronger and better bourbon than I remember it being.

I did have a bourbon free night as well yesterday Marc, but it won’t last as long for me as I attend to hit the bottle again today.

It has been a Tennessee night this day with Dickel CH before dinner and JDSS after, partly with the apple pie with vanilla yoghurt for desert. The light Dickel was perfect as an aperitif and the JD worked enormously well to the dessert and on its own.

Parkers golden anniversary on the rocks. Very nice as the ice melts just a little. tim

[Pieface]

Had my first try of Buffalo Trace last night. A very nice whiskey and a worthy flag ship with plenty of candy sweetness going on. Nice and full bodied for it's 90 proof.
