bigman Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Last night (Sunday night after work, so around 2am Monday morning) I sat down to watch the American version of Top Gear on the History channel, with a two finger pour of Elijah Craig 18yo, and I go through a cycle of liking and disliking this bottle, and last night it hit me as extra woody again, so after finishing this pour I had to have a second pour of Evan Williams Black label to remove the oak from my mouth before bedtime. The first pour of the EC18 was wonderful, and then about every other time I drink it, it’s not too bad, but nothing like the first pour, but the other pours, wow, it’s like sucking on the barrel it lived in for 18yrs. The EWBL was good as always, not great, but consistent. Either way I’m not complaining, I got to have two pours, and I only worked 8hours on Sunday so that’s like getting a 16 hour long weekend instead of the usual (as of lately) 12 hours, so it was a win – win weekend.

jburlowski Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 FRSmB 2010 LE.This release hasn't gotten much reaction here (maybe because they did away with the Mariage name). But for my money, this is one very, very fine whiskey. Seemlessly integrated from nose to finish. Delicate layers of flavor that reveal themselves over time. Perfect for sipping (as I did) by the fire on a winter evening.Not as bold and assertive as the 2009 (or 2008) Mariages but, IMO, Rutledge has produced another classic FR.

smokinjoe Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Down here in the Deep South, it ain't been above freezing for a couple of days. Wind Chill this morning was Zero. This sucks. It's waaaay too early for this. So, I whipped out the Evan Williams 90 proof 7 yr Antebellum Decanter, to help get me back to the ways things ought to be down here. From the neck card: "Sweet mangolias. Moss-draped cypress. Beautiful ladies. Warm welcomes. Like Evan Williams Bourbon, only the most sincere forms of hospitality belong to the lasting tradition of the South...."Ahhhhh, now, that's more like it. It'll be 60 before you know it. A very nice, full and rich bourbon, this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 07 OFBB (opened tonight), FRSB 100 proof Binny's barrel # 3 (empty bottle tonight) and tiny tiny pours of PVW 15 and 06 WLW, just to keep the deliciousness going. It's already been a long work week and I felt deserving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had more of this bunkered.I’m having a bad cold, as many other here in the extreme cold whether, but I did have an uncut Blanton’s both today and yesterday. I did go thru the stuffed nose pretty well with its rug stile. Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOWK Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Henry McKenna SB 10yr BIB, then OFBB 2010, then Weller 12. The McKenna hit the spot tonight. Weller 12 in a very close second. OFBB a distant third.Now, if I could only get some more McKenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Bowling night tonight. I brought some Ten High Ten, and Kahn's RHF. Gary brought one I can't remember, , and a Liquor World Willetts. The Willetts was a 4 year old, 120 proofer. That's why I can't remember what else he brought. Yes, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :grin: I rolled good (671), and Gary rolled better (706). We widened our first place lead to three points. Next week is the last week of the first half. If we win, we're in the finals at years end. :woohoo: Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 All I know is, this new bottle of Ri(1) tastes a heck of a lot better at $20/bottle, than the last bottle did at $48! Regardless, the Saz Jr. still slays it......IMO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
