What Bourbon Are You Drinking, Fall 2010

[OscarV]

a big ol fire in the outdoor fireplace, a CAO La Traviata, and a healthy pour of Weller Centennial. Drop-ins are welcome.

Cheers!

no. i drink it neat like in the glass. but occasionally i chase it to refresh the palate. usually i drink water for that purpose though cause i rarely have soda in the house.

nice avatar. what does pappy 23 cost around your way? picked up this bottle from the county for 150.

2010 PHC in a rocks glass instead of a Glencairn. I like it better out of a straight sided glass.

Pappy 23 is $219 at Binny's...way too rich for my blood! I'd much rather have 4 Pappy 15's over a single Pappy 23 as I found it too dry for my liking. I'm trying to finish off some bottles that have been open for a while so i'm having a pour of Woodford Reserve tonight. I good mid shelf bottle but not worth the $32-$34 that they are asking for it IMO.

First off to stay on topic, I spent the evening with my Old Grand Dad. (114) and we drank some Weller Antique 107.

As far as Woodford goes, it's a very pretty distillery and a nice distillery tour. The whiskey is quite good when I get it for under $30 but the flavor degrades after I pay more than that

I feel the same about Woodford Reserve. It's actually quite a nice pour and I thoroughly enjoy it from time to time but I won't be in any hurry to buy another bottle at $32 when I can get better for a similar price.

There are definitely plenty of bourbons that if forced to make a decision, I'd choose over WR for the price. But, while it took me some time to come around, I do thoroughly enjoy a pour of it now. The nose is wholly unique to me and the taste mirrors the nose, which for me in this case, is a good thing. I don't find it to be incredibly complex or challenging, but it is incredibly satisfying. I have yet to come across a bad bottle. I don't mind paying $30 for it, although it's not a price that makes me want to buy it consistently.

Woodford Reserve Masters Collection - Sweet Mash.:slappin: It is on its way out and I'm gonna miss it until I open the Eagle Rare 17 year old. :cool: What has not been doing it for me is a Binny's Select Cask Buffalo Trace.:shocked: I should have tried the vanilla envelope BT.:skep:

[Jwilly019]

Enjoyed my first taste of ERSB this evening. As well as some BT before that.

Woodford Reserve, OFBB 2002, PHC 2010 127.8, PHC 2010 124.2, Willet R/E 17yr #2

The PHC's were hitting the spot last night...I really really like that bottling! The only problem that I see with them is that they're too easy to drink and the bottles contents disappear too quickly...they should make bigger bottles!

Wife is at work, snow is falling, a little ER101 Frankfort to keep me warm.

Wow! is this wonderful.

Hmmm, must be a MI thang.

In the above quote substitute church for work and WTKS for ER101.

Went to a rye tasting at the PS last night. Followed it with a couple of pours of Ritt BiB when I got hme.

[nor02lei]

Very small pours of OESV, OBSV, WT 8 and ORVW 10/107. I liked the OBSV a lot, but the last one was best.

Today it's PHC 2010. This may just be the best bourbon of the year.

[smokinjoe]

A light snow falling here in Dixie, too. A big butterscotchy Ezra B 15 is taking the chill off. :yum:

[PappyVW23]

willett pot still reserve. very nice.

[OscarV]

VWSR Lot B, neat.

This is a hot bottle.

I'm not sure but I traced it down and the closest I can come to placing it is Autumn '07 or Spring '08 release.

The first swirl from my sniftner made me lay it down for a while, after about 20 minutes it calmed down and became drinkable.

[SMOWK]

new here. first post. this is what i was drinking.

What's the number on that Pappy bottle? They don't put wax on them anymore. Does anyone know when they stopped?

[the Duff]

Buffalo Trace, neat. Not getting a whole lot of flavor out of this pour.

[PappyVW23]

it's A2711. need 16 character's. that should do it.

ERSB tonight. Joe

[callmeox]

Tonight I had my usual rocks pour of BT with a couple of cherries tossed in after bowling. It tasted extra special good after we took two of three games to win the first half title. :grin:

[smokinjoe]

While catching up on some year-end work (aka...shtuff I should have done months ago ), and Christmas music in the background, I'm enjoying a light pour of SB.Com Barrel Selection Pappy 23. All's good.
