SMOWK Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 The last of a bottle of PVW15 with a CAO La Traviata cigar on the back porch with my laptop watching a surf contest live on the internet - the Hurley Pro at Trestles.Fortunately, my father cleaned my shelf last night by polishing off a bottle of BT, OGD114, and RittBIB. Leaving me with only the dregs of a PVW15.Not sure if your interested, but: http://www.hurley.com/hurleypro/live.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifax Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Killed off a 200ml Old Taylor from 1981, and a 200ml Fighting Cock 8 y/o from 1988. Two wonderful tasting bourbons. The FC8 truly surprised me. Pearl necklace legs. Semi-sweet with hints of cream, vanilla and my best guess is pecans. Nice crisp burn and peppery on the lips. Long, sweet and spicey finish. A+... Deeeelish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrocklover Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Old Weller Antique 107 NAS. This bottle does not match the bottle I picked up last year about this time. Much more alcohol heat. This bottle seems very young. Oh well, on to the next bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky480 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 The neighborhood decided to take advantage of the nice evening to have an outdoor happy hour. These are normally beer and wine events, but since it was in my side yard I thought bourbon should be repesented, so a few pours of OWA NAS fit the bill. The bottle I have has been an excellent bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBOmarc Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Rittenhouse Rye BIB. Can't wait to try it in a Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 OFBB 2010..... lots of spices, particularly cloves and cinnamon. Also dried fruits and a hint of oak. I like this one a lot more than the last few years' releases. And at12 yo, it's a (relative) bargain compared to the other yearly special bottlings.

Skunk Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Old Forester Signature. Nothing wrong that I can detect sipping neat, but looking forward to getting some better sh!t when I can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy38 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Is that the 86 proof version? Tried some of that at the 2009 BTOTY and I thought it tasted like ass.Since I couldn't make it to the KBF this year, I hosted the IBF (Illinois Bourbon Festival) last night. I had a selection of bourbon and rye. What didn't we drink?!?!?!The best pours of the night were the VWFRR (no brainer...my brother-in-law nearly killed that one), an older bottle of PVW 15 and opening an old bottle of Maryland rye. My favorite whiskey as of late has been an Old Fitz BIB from the 90's. As far as price and quality go, it's hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hectic1 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 09 GTS cut to 107 while good I would take Pappy 15 any day of the week. I followed that up with pour of Lville WSR from 96 and finally a EWB and diet coke to finish the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hectic1 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Bob,How was the Louisville WSR? I have one and I'm not that happy with it. It's decent Tom but not anything that I'd drive miles and miles to find. It's definitely better then the current release of WSR in that I get a bit more maple and vanilla in the nose and pallet but the finish is short and one dimensional. I was paying $14 a bottle for it though so I can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyboy38 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'm watching too. Just found this......The Fall equinox takes place at the exact moment when the sun is perpendicular to the equator. For example, on September 22, 2010, the Fall Equinox happens at 11:09 pm EDT, for the Northern Hemisphere. And I don't want to see any wise guys starting the thread at 11:07pm EDT on 9/22!!!

unclebunk Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Gave a friend a bottle of Lot B for his birthday and we downed all but an inch of it last night by the fire. Excellent juice which tasted delicious after a giant bowl of homemade Columbian soup courtesy of his mother-in-law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Elmer T. Lee, the version with the tan label and Elmer's picture. I thought that version differed only in the labeling from regular ETL, but this one seems to me different from the profile. It is paler, with a very interesting nose (almost winelike, like riesling or perhaps like good applejack) and a dryish, elegant taste. Really good.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
