Knocked off the last of a bottle of PVW15 last night while watching the All-Star game and then switched over to OCPR for a nightcap. Life is good!

A little something different today, George Dickel #12 over cracked ice.

Opps, it's not bourbon but there ain't no "What Tennessee Whisky Are You Drinking Today Summer 2010" thread.:grin:

Last night I had a short pour of EC18. I never know what to anticipate when I pour that stuff - last night I got lots of wood some subtly bitter tannin some spice and not much else. The long sweet finish and the complexity I recall was MIA.

Since I'm happily new to bourbon, I'm looking forward to trying everything at least once. Last night, EW black label, the basic stuff. Had a little neat to see what it was like -- a good drink that hit all the right spots. The finish reminded me of cool stone or mint and getting to the finish was a good experience.

Tonight, BT with a few ice cubes.

Tomorrow, WLW Reserve.

Friday, Four Roses, yellow label.

Cordially,

Trace T.

A solid pour of a newly purchased bottle of Henry McKenna, 10 year old, Single Barrel, Bottled in Bond, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. (Kinda hit all the highspots on the label description, ya think :D Well, it IS a multi-layered label that incorporates felt, a booklet, Bottling Date Info, foil cap seal, faux tax stamp, AND has a copper jingly-jangly thingy on the neck...This puppy ain't takin' a back seat to no fancy Ezra B or Basil Hayden bottles, dammit!). I haven't had this in a couple of years...and I'm thinkin'...what the heck have I been thinkin'!! This is terrific! The beautiful nose hit me as soon as I unscrewed the cap. It practically blew out. Buttery and mild at first sip, then it really blossoms into a full whiskey at mid-palate. A very chewy and long finish. This is hitting me in my wheelhouse, tonight. I am totally impressed.

Had a short pour of Weller SR when I got home from work. Now it's MM 46. :yum: I already like the MM 46, but this may be shaping up to be a semi-regular pour for me. :rolleyes: Joe

I agree with the MM 46. It is really starting to grow on me as a nice Summer everyday pour. Not to heavy, an easy sipper. Already polished off 1 bottle and working on a 2nd.

LOTS of PVW15 and LOTS of Chimay Grande Reserve. I've almost finished the entire Magnum Chimay (51oz) and working on a third or so of a bottle of the Pappy. Good times in/on the Outer Banks!

Wow, that was quick! I just opened mine last night a tasted it back to back with regular MM and the 46 just blew me away. Bill has touched me again!:lol: :skep:

Anyway, enjoying my favorite summer sipper right now, Four Roses. Light, refreshing but with depth. A beautiful thing. And I got it 5 minutes from my house. Two years ago I thought I would never see the day. :bis:

09 WLW after a nice evening on the lake. I love it out there at night.

Too bad bottle is done now.

I started out before dinner with a HH 100 proof BIB which was followed up with WT Rare Breed and then later with Bookers.

Starting out with, and planning to continue pouring, lots of WLW09. Expectaculor!

Man I like the WLW09 but to me it pours a little hot...I ended up prefering the WLW08 in a head to head but I certainly wouldn't turn down either of them.

I'm starting the night off with a pour of FR Mariage 09...thinking that I'm going to go with a WTKS Pewter 99 pour next. :cool: I changed my mind and decided to go with a pour of WTAS instead...;)

Buck and 7-up. Nuts on the side.

I'll finish this friggin' bottle if it kills me.

I have not been here in quite some time, doesn't mean I gave up!

I just finished a bottle of Noah's Mill, not bad but I wouldn't do it again at the price, $43 here in balmy upstate NY. Its a good bourbon with a higher proof but it just doesn't stand out at that price.

Worth a try but not a repeat bottle.
