birdman1099 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I was finishing up my 4 yr Willett. I like this bottle, but I always wished it had a bit more barrel influence. I mixed my last 3 ounces with an ounce of IW harper 15/90 BHC. It was awesome !!!!Now I wish I had another bottle of the 4 yr !!!!!:skep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyrocklover Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Tonight. While I was helping the wife cook supper, I had some HH 86 proof. After dinner I had a couple of pours of WTRB and currently finishing off the evening with some Bookers.Tomorrow will ride the KY Dinner Train with a Buffalo Trace Tasting. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I had Dickel bs before diner again yesterday and Forester BIB 1984, WT 8 export and OGD 114 after. Must say that the Tennessee whiskey did hit the spot best that evening. I hardly dare to think of how good it would be at a higher proof.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I've been trying different vattings, generally because the taste of the bourbons I'm buying recently do not appeal 100%. Exceptions: a rich almost custardy Knob Creek, and the Old Gran-dad 86 proof I got at Randy's recently, which has that indefinable orange marmalade taste I liked in the ND versions. These will stay as they are.And so to vatting. While initially I liked on its own VSOF 12 years old, as it sat in the bottle either it changed or I noticed things that IMO could be improved. The taste is good but the body was thinnish and the finish a little lacking. I did 3:1 this bourbon to Woodford Reserve. Generally, you add older bourbon to a larger amount of younger; here I did the reverse because it worked. The woody sappy oily WR filled out the VSOF 12, lengthened the finish and deepened the taste while retaining the malty and cherry-like notes of the latter. It's got the best of both and the oily accents of the WR, deriving I believe from its pot still element, are brought down a notch or two.And then I took that very smooth, sweet but a little corny Corner's Creek (current release, not the 8 year old version of years past), and added it to Maker's Mark, 3:1 Maker's to the other. What happens is the Makers gets deeper in taste, fuller and with a more integrated finish. It may sound odd that this can happen by adding a whiskey that may well be younger, but it can. I'd estimate the Corner Creek at 4 years old, maybe less, the label does not state it is straight bourbon.And so, I get the flavor that appeals to me.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 It's been a great weekend so far. Last night I opened a Binny's Weller 12 from the bunker. Dangerous stuff, it goes down too easy.Tonight my wife and I went out for dinner and I had a generously poured Knob Creek with my steak. Nice combination. Returning home, she wanted to have some of her Disaronno amaretto, so I decided it was time to bring out the JPS. I swear, each pour is better than the last with this one. What to have for Father's Day? A dilemma I look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmeox Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I worked all day yesterday and most of the morning today which caused me to miss the shindig in Detroit and/or seeing the reigning 2x BTOTY at the Grand Am race at Mid Ohio.Luckily work quieted down as Fathers Day progressed and I'm catching up on the race with a nice pour of Binny's Weller 12.

ggilbertva Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 For Fathers day I did some of the cooking but that's only because I wanted to smoke a couple chickens and have some ribs on the barbie. It was all good and enjoyed some afternoon drams with my dad and family.
