Nothing tonight, but last night was fun. I went out to a company dinner with a bunch of other chefs. First pour was Wathen's, next came ETL and the after dinner pour was Pappy 23. One of the higher ups decided to buy a round for the table and I don't think he checked the price before he ordered the 23. A year ago I wouldn't have batted an eye but last night I had to fight back a little cringe as everyone but me ordered theirs on the rocks but they were drinking it that way not me so I guess I shouldn't judge... Oh, and I wanted to smack the Royal Crown drinker who took a total of maybe 3 sips.

While visiting a friend last night, we enjoyed a smattering of bourbon's and such that were pretty much all good.

SW Weller 12 (freakin good)

'76 Stillbrook Corn Whiskey BIB

'78 WT 7 year 86.8

EW BIB White Label

Van Winkle FR 18 yr KSBW

Crown Royal Cask 16 (hmm...not so good to me)

You blow me away with your stash.

Having said that, I agree with the Crown Royal Cask

Tonight is manhattan's with JB Black, the blood orange bitters and NP Sweet Vermouth...nice

After the 2nd work week of this week.... (4.2 work weeks every 7 days).... I have hit the Gal bottles pretty hard. WTRR101 and Weller SR 1988.... I love the easy tilt pour with these things and probably should take one into work :D

... and Greg....

SW Weller 12, and two different private bottlings of Weller SR at bowling tonight. The bourbon was good, my bowling was not. :frown: Joe

That's a good Manhattan...I too use the blood orange bitters.

They're coming big boy. I figured since you have a kazillion bottles in the bunker, a few small samples could leisurely make their way to AZ. I didn't know you were lacking for dusty juice. :drinking:

Dickel 12 and JDSS before dinner and OGD114 after. Hm…the Dickel from my last bottle don’t seem to be at the same standard as the previous ones, nether today or at the previous times I have had it. The JD was very much better as it seemed. I hope this is due to a bad bottling or so.

Folding under peer pressure (Emerald and Mike), I opened a handle of 1988 Weller Special Reserve. Glad I did, it's terrific.

A long-time lower back problem flared up yesterday, and I've been crawling around the house today. I'm hoping that this Lawrenceburg ORVW 10/90 dulls the pain. If not, I have other weapons in my arsenal...and, I won't hesitate to use them...:D...Calling Dr. Stagg....Calling Dr. Stagg...

I did pop up and had a pour of Fitzgerald 1849 bottled 1973 before dinner today. Nothing special at all, but I hope some oxidation will bring it up a bit. After dinner I had Stagg 2009 and right now OGD 114. I really do like all the 3 uncut antics from 2009 very, very well indeed.

I really think they've all gotten better every year. I've only been in the game since 2006 though.

We've already got 6" on the ground here in the DC area, and I already shoveled once, so I opened the bottle of ORVW I picked up last week. Tasted it in the glencairn I also just got. Wow, now I understand the reviews here of VW products. It's fantastic.
