What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter 2010/11

[OscarV]

Been up since 4:30am and 7 cups of coffee in me so I figured it would be nice on this unexpected snow-day off from work to have a nice pour of Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit 2001 in a barndy siftner, neat.

Baker's tonight. Probably my least favorite bottle open right now, everything seems muted. I've tried it neat, with a splash of water, and on ice and nothing seems to improve it.

Oh well there is always tomorrow night.

I won't buy another bottle of of Baker's just doesn't do anything for me.

I revisited a bottle of knob creek I've had open for awhile. Right bourbon at the right time. Hasn't been one of my favorites in the past, but it really hit the spot. Might motivate me to go get a bottle of the new KC iteration.

Been keeping warm today with some Kahn's select Blanton's. Not bad. Like sweet tea.

So I'm not alone in this. I've tried and tried but can't seem to get anything memorable out of this Bourbon. Its on the Do Not Buy List.

[Cassius King]

Sipping on a Four Roses Single Barrel.

Hey, I know that juice.:grin:

[White Dog]

Lots of snow demands lots of whiskey. In the past 12 hours I've had WT101, VWFRR, Pappy 15, Old Rip 107, EC18, OGD114, and ETL. Yeah, I keep lots of things open in the house.

You should talk to BT, get a SB program rolled out with the name "Old Joe" on the label. make it a 9/90.

I had JDSS with the lime pie for dessert yesterday after a visit to a bar for a couple of good micro beers.

I'm sipping a couple today.

First Knob Creek Single Barrel 120prf, I'll be nice and say that the extra alcohol does a good job of burning off the nasty Beam yeast taste.

The other one is Four Roses Single Barrel.

This is really different then other 4R1B's that I've had.

It is loaded with rye peppermint on both the nose and palate, I like it a lot.

It's from Warehouse US, Barrel No 10-UN, it's a keeper.

[fishnbowljoe]

Long story, for a long day. Needless to say I'm having something a little higher proofer upon arriving home from work. 2010 PHC. Hit's the spot. Joe

Last night was Old Fitz Prime from 92 followed by Old Fitz BIB from 81...tonight is some OFBB 06.

[ggilbertva]

Starting off the night with a '78 Old Forester BIB. Complex and buttery.....wonderful.

[T Comp]

EC 12 followed by WT Old No. 8 (93). I wanted a touch of the sweeter finish of the WT following the more bitter/sour finish of EC. Both are mighty fine tonight.

[fishnbowljoe]

....... and for a nightcap, 09 WLW. Joe

[G.H.Adams]

Having a small glass of Buffalo Trace tonight and will probably finish the night with Old Forester Signature.

[BMartin42]

Weller SR, Rowan's Creek, Noah's Mill, & BT. No work again tomorrow because of snow not being cleared from parking lots. Wish I would have know Monday night I was about to have a six day weekend.

[GOCOUGS2002]

ORVW 10/90 to finish off a long week.

[CaptainQ]

Weller 12, current version, yum.

[GOCOUGS2002]

And EC18 to finish off the chat session tonight

[sailor22]

Last night was a pour of EBSG McKenna BiB. Seems to be getting better the longer the bottle is open.

Last night was a pour of EBSG McKenna BiB. Seems to be getting better the longer the bottle is open.

...and then it's empty...

That bottling has changed more dramatically every few days and weeks after opening than any other I've had. I think it's because it was such a low yield barrel that there are more particles 'n' good stuff in there compared to standard barrels of that age that yield twice as many bottles.

Last night, Mrs. Rughi smelled the McKenna in my glass as she walked past and decided to stop and sniff it - then taste it. She said it tasted like a "Manhattan only better" and said it's the first bourbon she thinks she might drink straight.

Those low yield barrels - that's where a lot of good stuff is found.
