What Bourbon Are You Drinking, Summer 2010

[SMOWK]

Finishing the rest of a few bottles tonight before heading out for a week in the Outer Banks. OWA-NAS, VOB-BIB, Willet Funky Bottle, & Bernheim Wheat.

I've got a box packed and ready with VWFRR, WLW09, PVW15, RittBIB, Chalfonte VSOP Cognac for the lady, Chimay Grande Reserve Magnum, and a bottle of Carmenere wine that my girl's brother made a few years ago. I've been hanging onto it to see how it aged. He had quite a few cases, all gone. My lonely bottle hang out in the back of the bunker with a lot of good friends from Kentucky for 2, maybe 3 years....We'll see how it aged....

" VWFRR, WLW09, PVW15, RittBIB,"

Well yes, I think that would do for the week. Now what are your friends going to drink?

As the very hot summer whether continuo here I did pop up the 25year old rum I brought back from the Houston gathering in May before outdoors grilling. Both me and Yvonne liked it a lot and it goes well with hot whether. We did have JDSS with the grilled bananas with chocolate souse and ice cream for dessert. It never stops to amaze me how good this whiskey is with desserts and how it lifts up the dessert and itself it the combination.

Kicking back with my first taste of Van Winkle bourbon to celebrate the birth of my firstborn. Frankfort Lot B...seems like a fine whiskey for a fine occasion

Congratulations!

I celebrated a break in the heat in the DC area last night with a pour of 4R1B and then a couple pours of Lot B.

Last night we added to the list; first edition Hancock's, EWSB Barrel Proof and I don't remember what else.

Oh and we drank some more Weller 19 that was, I'll try to be modest here, very good. I think all of us were in agreement on that one.

It’s hot, hot and hot here for Swedish conditions. On a tip from another member of Borlänge bourbon boys I did put in a bottle of OGD 114 in the refrigerator over night. Yesterday on the hottest day of the summer so far, Yvonne and me had it over ice cubes before an outdoor tapas/sherry dinner. No nose to talk about, but it worked out well with a bit sweeter taste than normal but very refreshing indeed in the hot whether.

After dinner I had a pappy 15 (partly with hazelnut cake) that reminded me a lot of the latest WLW.

Still hot here today and I did have OGD 114 over ice again today + some normal served before dinner. Then ORVW 10/107 from 2002 with the hazelnut cake for dessert.

We had a board meeting in our local bourbon club BBB and retasted some leftovers from the last event http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5792&page=3. The brand that won the voting (Rittenhouse 23) had not stood up against the 2,5 month oxidation with only a few cl left in the bottle and it tasted very minty and thin with a bitter finish.

Just now I have some EC 12 that taste good.

Leif

[ggilbertva]

Poured an '83 Old Forester 86 pf. I think oxidation has started to set in. Not so much that it's still not enjoyable but I've noticed a slight change in the profile. Good thing the handle is 95% empty.
