What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter 2010/11

[Hawg73]

Tonight I will be sipping some ORVW 10yo 107 proof. And I am looking forward to it after a miserable week.

[chefnash51]

enjoyed PHC Golden Anniversary followed by Willett 17 yr (SV 1st edition)

tonight i will start out with OF BIB in honor the BOTM. then where ever my taste buds take me.

if I started now, i'd be napping by 5 PM.

i am really enjoying the Vintage 21 I have, thinking about nabbing up the other bottle I found, but debating it over the 23 yr. About $30 more.

One hour to lunch, probably Grand Dad.

When drinking in the morning hours, it's all about the pacing.

I've never had the 23yr myself, unfortunately, but everything I've heard and read gives the nod to the 21, FWIW.

Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit 2001, neat.

Got home early and have a couple slabs of ribs on the grill slowly cooking/smoking.

It's 42 degrees so I thought I'd better take advantage of it because snow/ice/rain coming tomorrow,...btw it's not looking good for the Chi-Town roadtrip.

The poker group and I will be hitting two "investor" bottles this evening. "Investor" meaning bottles we split because none of us want to pay for a whole bottle to try.

Woodford Reserve Maple Finish

Jefferson's 18.

I have high hopes for the Jefferson's, but am personally expecting the worst from the WR.

Started with Rittenhouse BIB. Just opened the bottle, so it's a bit hot. But I can already taste the sweetness down in there. Someone on SB once said, "Pecan Pie", and I think that's spot on.

Went to Weller 12, which was nice.

Finished with Forty Creek Barrel Select. Man, I really do like this whiskey. Some sherry and sweet, followed by some nice cocoa notes. I don't really have much experience with many Canadians, but this can't be a bad place to start.

And I've got to call it quits for the night or I'll be asleep by 8!

I'm jealous of the 21 rye!

For 3 days now I've done the same routine, EC18 then Kentucky Spirit (bottled 08). OscarV has the 2001 tonight, must be something in the wind?

[White Dog]

4R Mariage 2009. Wanted to see what the fuss was about. I must say, the high-end 4R stuff is by far some of the best rye recipe stuff I've come across.

I should also add that I've hit some Noah's Mill and RittBIB in between the Vintage 21 and Mariage. It's been a nice start to the weekend.:cool: :cool:

[lrochau]

First drink of the weekend, Stagg '10

[hectic1]

Willett Reid/Emerald 17yr 133.2 proof cut down to 107 proof and it's fantastic...easily better then any bottle of WLW or GTS I've had the opportunity to taste.

I followed that up with some Julio's JRPS 18yr unchill filtered...very sweet on entry with vanilla and caramel floating in and out mid pallet with a little bit of nuts on the finish...a very good pour! It's been a good night of bourbon drinking!

[tehbeardman]

EWSB 2000 that I picked up today. I like it very much.

[squire]

Tom it's been awhile since I let the Canadians in and Forty Creek Barrel Select is becoming a welcome guest.

Wow, you having serious quality time. That's a good day.

[nor02lei]

I had Mark Twain 12 years from 1977 and old Stagg 6 years from 1971 before dinner yesterday. Both tasted good at 86 proof, but the first that are a HH brand was a bit surprisingly best. Then later ORVW 10/107 from 2002 with the nut pie for dessert. An excellent combination as usual!

It's good stuff. Sometime when the whiskey coffers are a little more flush, I'll try to hunt down one of the other expressions of Forty Creek.

[Special Reserve]

The breakfast of champions: PHC 124.2 proof

This is making me want to run out on a rainy day to get more.

It's a good thing I have at least a little will power.

[squire]

Wish I did Will, I can resist anything except temptation.

[shyster512]

Just opened a bottle of Knob Creek, small batch. It's been awhile since KC has crosse my lips, but actually enjoyable following the bottle of Old Rip which is about gone.

[Khomeinist]

Been enjoying a bottle of EWSB 2001. It has opened up considerably.

Nice sigtag quote Mike. Very true.

I'm still finishing off a bottle of EWSB 2000 before I open my 2001. How do you find the 2001 in comparison to the 2000?

After a big night last night I'm keeping it low key with WL Weller Special Reserve - just needed something light and easy to drink tonight!
