[nor02lei]

ETL before dinner and ORVW 10/107 2002 and OGD 114 after. The wheater defiantly found the spot best tonight.

Julio's 08 RHF, after a long, hot, humid, sticky (I think Scott calls that swampass) dirty, busy day at work. Man it's tastes good. :cool: Joe

Yes, it is swamp ass season. :cool:

I'm having a little nip of ER 10/101 while I prep about 35 pounds of pork shoulder for its overnight stay in the smoker.

a cool pour of Liquor Barn Hancocks to combat my Swamp Ass !!!!:grin:

I'm eyeing my bottle of WTKS 03 SDT ......

VOBBIB. Thinking of moving on to something better....decisions decisions.

[SMOWK]

I've since moved up the ladder to Buffalo Trace.

I am now kicking myself for passing this by so many times after a bad bottle a couple years ago. This one is GREAT.

[Trace Tippler]

^ Yes, indeed! BT is my daily pour and as my screen name suggests I'm very fond of it. Amazing drink.

(Although this evening I'm starting out with Weller SR.)

[SMOWK]

I must be the only one that sorts Newest First, instead of Oldest First, on the threads. Your ^ should be a V. :cool:

10 year Old Fitzgerald 101 which looks to have been bottled in 1985 and Jefferson's Presidential Select Batch 1. The JPS is more complex and tasty but the Old Fitz 101 could be a bit comprimised by evaporation. When found on the dusty store shelf, it had a low fill level even though the faux tax strip and cork were secure and tight with no apparent leakage.

Spent the last 5 days in on Mt. Desert in Maine with family.... found a few bottles of grandads stash in the basement... enjoyed a 1975 Benchmark 6yo and a 1968 Old Crow 86 proof....

Elijah Craig Single Barrel 18yo, neat.

I got some samples from fellow SB.com member Rod aka Halifax.

This EC18 was barreled 1-31-92 and so far it's the best EC I have ever had.

The nose reminds me of black plums and rasins and a hint of ripe pear.

After my first sip I thought, "Parker, you devil!", none of that HH mint, it's not dry or woody which is suprising at it's age, orange peel like in a Manhattan, if there was such a thing I'd say maraschino dates.

Long finish, again no wood, tannins or dryness, like a heavy red wine it never goes away.

I'm glad he sent up two 50ml's of these and I'm gonna be on the look out for 1-31-92.

Don't know what I can send him to top this, I'll start thinkin' about it.

VWFRR post wake.

My friend that passed brought these bottles up with her last time and it's damn tasty.

[Bonfire Smoke]

Tonight it will be my favorite, Old Charter 10 yr old. I sure am tempted to crack the seal on one of those jugs of of OC 12 yr old, but I will wait.

[MrAtomic]

Although it's all of 65 degrees here, I felt like enjoying an easygoing, summertime pour, so am drinking Mellow Corn BiB over ice. This is a very enjoyable whiskey -- especially considering its price, the fact that the label looks to have remained unchanged for 60 years, and its almost watery color. It's really viscous, too.

I too am enjoying some VWFRR after a long work week. I'll pour an extra for your friend.

Binny's Weller 12, Maker's 46, and OFBB 06

[birdman1099]

I've had some...

ER17 2001 (Fantastic)

Willett 17 (Wine Specialist)

Pappy 20 (funky) (see my post in General Discussion)

ORVW 23 (outstanding !!!!)

[nor02lei]

Yesterday I had Beam 6 grains before an outdoor meal of our traditional dish â€surströmming†with 2 neighbour couples and my ladies daughter that was in an a temporary visit. This food is so smelly that it works best outside and take some time to get used to. It does get along very well with the traditional flavoured snaps though. I did have 5 different ones including my favourite wormwood.

Open bottle clean-up / culling project --- working on a Henry McKenna 10 yo BIB.

[ebo]

Right now... just a nice glass of Jim Beam Black... neat. Nothing special, but it is really hitting the spot nicely tonight.

[OscarV]

Wild Turkey 12yo Split Label, neat.

But alas only one 50ml, that's all Mr. Postman gave me.

Thanx Rod!

[ggilbertva]

I went top shelf today, '09 WLW with a small splash of water.

[callmeox]

After enjoying the crowd that came by for our annual summer shindig, I enjoyed a pour of WTRR 10/101 as the evening was winding down.

I'm digging some 3yo Party Source Willett with preseason football on the tube now.

[Bonfire Smoke]

Friday the 13th was lucky for me. I walked into a liquor store I never go in and I saw some OC 12 Yr Old on the bottom shelf behind the counter. He had 10 half pints and I bought every one of them. Tonight I enjoyed a nice cocktail with some 12 yr old.
