What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter 2010/11

[politely]

Finished off a bottle of Pappy 20 - noticed that the last pours had significantly more wood than what I recall from the initial pours. Maybe there's something to the idea of a quick shake before drinking? Finishing up the evening with some JPS 17, which I still continue to like very much.

^ Pappy 20 is one of my favorite, too.

Tonight I was fortunate to enjoy a VVOF-12 and VOF-10, just amazing.

It's St Patrick's Day I'm having Black Bush of course.

Never had Black Bush myself. I keep wanting to try it, but the wife won't let me. She says I should be satisfied with what I already have.

Anyway, the baby eventually woke up yesterday...

[squire]

That's a precious bundle Josh.

Thanks! She takes after her father in adorable-ness.:grin:

We're still talking about whiskey, right?

Back to topic, last night I took a renewed interest in an older bottle of WTKS. I wasn't too fond of this initially (I might have been expecting more for the $), but I'm now appreciating its qualities.

[squire]

Excellent stuff, Black Bush may well be my Irish celebration today.

Joining in on the celebration of the Irish with a pour of Redbreast 12 before I move back over to the good American stuff!

A stupendous Spring day... upper sixties and sunny. Sat outside with the neighbors and put a bottle of 18 yo Jameson to rest.

Happy St. Pat's day!

[JamesW]

Started with a generous pour of Danfield's 21 yr (Canadian). Moved on to Lot B, Pappy 15, and now Pappy 20.

[squire]

Going to close out with Forester Signature.

Getting ready to open this Willett 17 and 8yr that just arrived from PartySource today.

[hectic1]

Finally got around to opening a bottle of ETL 15yr and I have to say it's pretty damn good. It's the first bourbon I've ever had that I wanted to GULP down b/c it was so tasty. In a word it's one of the most "balanced" pours I've had. Nice nose, pallet, and finish...I would have loved to have seen this bottling at 100 or 107 but it's still pretty damn good at 90pr.

I followed that up with some Beam's Choice 8/86 from 1971...Beam sure "knew" how to make bourbon back then...I haven't had anything from them of late that is remotely as good as this stuff. The one area that I was amazed with was the thick coating feel it had...stunning! :cool: Glad I grabbed a bunch of these bottles when I had the chance...look for some at a Gazebo near you!

I'm opening up with OF Sig, a perennial favorite of mine, just like the Boilermakers. Boiler up!!

[squire]

Forester Signature is probably the only whisky that I always have on hand.

[unclebunk]

I love OF Signature too and always keep a 1.75 bottle on hand, as it's popular with my friends when we get together to play cards. But tonight we'll be hitting a 1996 EWSB.

Finishing up a bottle of 4 Roses Small Batch.

So far... Colonel E.H. - WLW - FRSmB 08 Mariage - Templeton

So far... Colonel E.H. - WLW - FRSmB 08 Mariage - Templeton

that's a fun lineup... i feel like the col. e.h. and FR mariage would pair up well next to each other.

Yes they did pair very well. Still forming my opinions on the E.H. I know I like it. There is a sweet

pleasantness to it that is different then almost anything I've had.

After a GD BiB pour I am enjoying a ER17 - Stagg - ER 10 vat. Ratio 2:1:1

[cigarnv]

A bit of High West Double Rye...... Big, rich and loaded with spice. This is another winner from the High West folks!

[jcg9779]

I was out with friends last night and the bar had a limited bourbon selection. Ended up drinking some Gentleman Jack, and had an OGD 114 nightcap when I got home.

[Josh]

Overdid it a bit this morning kneading dough for homemade bagels. Currently parktaking of some rheumatism medicine, as Granny would say. Old Fitz BiB (dsp 16).
