What are you drinking Winter 2009/2010

Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Seasoned Oak, neat.

I forgot that I had some of this. Last night I stumbled acrossed it and had a small pour.

I found it to be better than when I originally got it, I was put off by it for some reason.

Sipping on one now, very nice, the sweet oakiness is doing me good.

I really like that one as well. Lately when I have it I follow Scott's (Birdman) suggestion and use it to "season" some other pours (i.e., Lot B gets nicely aged with a 1/5 addition of the stuff).

Cheers!

I have found the '09 Handy to be very, very good. Had a nice lineup of Baby Saz, Saz 18, Handy, Ritt BIB, and VWFRR the other night. If the VW was a higher proof, it would've won, but the Handy took it. I'm sure glad I have 4 more of 'em left.

So the VWFRR at least compares? I have yet to try it, but have been wanting to pick one up. After having the Handy though, it is going to be hard not to get one of those instead of the VW.

It is my favorite of the WRMCs. The finish is very nice on this, but it is a pour a small glass and drink in a short period of time juice... if it sits for a long time in changes and not for the good....

Enjoying a pour of ETL. It's tasting particularly good today.

WTRB

WT-03-95

This is my first 1995 WTRB

Way better than any others I've had but I still think it's just not my cup-o-tea (bourbon).:frown: !

Hey Tony, if you see a bourbon vulture, that looks like me, circling over head just relax and leave the '95 Rare Breed on the ground and walk away.:skep:

Started with some Old Fitz BIB today trying to beat back a sore throat that's trying to get a foothold. I may have to pull out the bigger guns in a bit and whack it with some Stagg.

Working some R&E Willett... nice way to spend a Saturday

[Josh]

Enjoying some WTRB as I putter around the house this afternoon. I'm not getting the vanilla I usually get out of this, but getting a heavy rye bite for sure.

[spun_cookie]

on to some Stagg 05 Spring KY Only... this is my 2nd favorite Stagg. I think it might have more going on than any of the others....

Joe (FishnbowlJoe), this would be you hands down favotire Stagg...

[Vosgar]

Enjoying some Old Forester Repeal tonight. I'm not quite sure why, but some days it really hits the spot.

[Lost Pollito]

JRPS tonight. This juice is way to delicious.

[ratcheer]

Tonight, it was a straight pour of Elmer T. Lee 90-proof. Very tasty.

Had a 4 bottle blind tasting with the wife tonight. Elijah Craig 12 yr 2005, Evan Williams 7 yr 90 proof, OGD 8yr 86 proof ND and New Weller SR 90 Proof. I picked all correctly and again proud of the wife. This one was tougher since all proofs were very close. Differences in proof are easier for her to discern.

I prefer the '05 EC 12. just complex beyond belief and the rest.....well not a bad drink in the bunch. This was a tough tasting for me. I changed several times, but in the end chose the right ones.

Between the Rolex 24 and the All Star Shootout from Irwindale, this has been a great day of auto racing and a wonderful mid-winter diversion.

Old Rip 10/107 is a little hot on entry tonight, but the sweetness and warmth are satisfying.

[Lost Pollito]

...add some WLW '09, and Old Fitz Dsp-16 ...24. Now I'm at 1'000 posts. It's official, I'm a Bourbon nerd. :cool:

[T Comp]

Opened and finally tasted, for the first time, a Wild Turkey 101 Russell's Reserve. I like the taste all right, but its smell, at least with this bottle is disjointed and a tad musty. Poured a side of my dwindling 1993 Rare Breed, for comparison, and tonight this is my preferred and more precious juice. BUT...... hold on here, after a pour of good old regular WT 101, the Russell's Reserve is now coming up roses.

[Vosgar]

Finishing off the night with some Binny's BT. I can't wait for their next batch!

[Old Lamplighter]

Tried to knock out the last of an old, old bottle of BT followed by 4RSB/Binny's and finally a nightcap of VWFRR on another cold dead o' winter night

I did have JDSS and ORVW 15 after going to a single malt tasting event last night. On the event there were 7 different Ardbegs (most of them uncut) and one blend of different smoky malts containing amongst others a little Ardbeg. 6 Ardbegs were taken half blind and than there were 2 more brands put in fully blind. I did like one of the fully blind best that was an 11 years uncut Ardbeg cask sample that the distillery had shipped to or local single malt club for free. As I haven’t had any single malt at home for many years I was satisfied to pick out 3 of the half blind samples and to pick out the blend as not being a single Ardbeg. This said both the Americans tasted better than any out of the 8 malts we had on the event.

Enjoying Four Roses Small Batch during this snowy weekend in NC. Nothing beats a nice pour after a day of sledding with the family.

Oh the Van Winkle compares 100% percent, or more. I've found that they are quite different, yet very, very good. It's hard to pick a winner due to the differences. The VW is a bit thicker and more full bodied, even at the lower proof.
