What are you drinking Spring 2010?

[ErichPryde]

winding the night down with a pour of R&E willett. I should have been in bed already, but I can't sleep.

[nor02lei]

That bottle started in Riverside MO. Made quite a journey.

[rocky480]

Enjoying a nice pour of a 6 year old Willett bottled last year for the DC market.

This was a Christmas gift from my wonderful wife, and I'm excited that I've finally figured out that a litte ice opens this bourbon up to be much more interesting and complex than I had thought it was when I was drinking it neat or even with a little water. I'm thinking another pour and a cigar will make for a nice end to the day.

A friend wanted me to host a tasting for him so who am I to decline? Since these were newbies to bourbon for the most part, I did the full spectrum

Straight Corn Whiskey 100pf

Baby Saz

OC 12

WT 8yr 101

OWA

Bernheim Wheated Whiskey

Old Fitz BIB

EWSB 2000

Afterwards we had little WLW, Stagg and Handy dessert.

[CaptainQ]

Started with OF '94, then VOB 100, EC12 and finishing with PVW15.

I was alone home last night and had a real food and drink orgy. Rendezvous rye and VWFRR-K before a heavy 2-course dinner with micro beer and red wine. Than at 9.30 pm I got a urgent need for dessert and started from scratch with frozen red, current and an cold oven to make pie. I made it with butter, porridge oats, and 2 different syrups and it taste so dammed good that I had 1/3 of it with about 1litre vanilla ice crème and 20 cl JDSS. I love pie made from sour fruit, but I don’t care for ditto made from sweet fruit like blue berries for example. Than later a little more micro beer and a pour of mellow corn BIB. All this at the same time that I was watching a AZDC concert from 1996 and easy rider on television.

You got that right. But, I gained 5 pounds just reading about it!

A back and forth with Old Forester BIB "dimpled bottle" and Pappy 15 for me, last night.

And, 5 homemade tacos....

[Gillman]

Angus and Malcolm were rocking the guitar but you were rockin' dessert, Leif!

Filled the Jim Beam oversize tumbler with ice, poured a generous shot of Four Roses Yellow Label, added some water and three dashes Angostura. A refreshing, very tasty highball.

PHC 127

VW Old Tyme rye

2002 Stagg (fantastic !!!!)

4 roses 40th

What did you think about the Stagg Scott? This is the only vintage of Stagg that I haven’t tasted.

[yemenmocha]

Good evening folks. Just catching up on the threads here and thinking about a couple of purchases for the summer.

Currently enjoying a nice pour of Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13yr.

Cheers!

[ErichPryde]

a couple pours of 2009 sazerac 18 year right now. this is really hitting the spot tonight... I needed an older rye with a hint of smoke and oak tonight, I think.

[SMOWK]

The Fox. I'm going to miss this stuff.

[Halifax]

Last night 1792, EWSB 2000 and FRSmB.

[birdman1099]

I've been snorting down some Old Fitz bib 1970 bottling......:bowdown:

[nor02lei]

Not that much whiskey lately. I had a pour of forester BIB 1984 yesterday. Today it’s the Swedish national day, but its not much celebrating. We are not much of a nationalistic people up here. However me and my lady partner Yvonne did meet this day 2 years ago. We did celebrate with a bottle of good champagnes and a 2-course dinner in a local Indian restaurant. Back home we had leftover red current pie with JDSS for dessert.

Now I am up by myself and having mallow corn BIB as a nightcap.

Still on my "2010 empty more bottles and buy fewer bottles quest".

So I opened up an old Old Welller Antique 7/107, not bad, better than some I've had.

Oscar, you got a special bottle I don't know about or did you mean OWA 7/107:grin:

Yep, thanx 4 the heads up, I did an edit.

[ggilbertva]

I pulled out my '82 ER101. It was one of those nights where it was a fantastic drink.

[Dramiel McHinson]

Pulled out the seldom used Elijah Craig 18 and gave it a go. It seemed a lot drier and a touch astringent this time around. The oak tannins seemed to dominate. I hope its just me or else oxidation over time hasn't helped this bottle. I'll rest it some more and have another go later.

Cheers! :drink:
