What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter 2010/11

[nblair]

Oh yeah right, it was from Warehouse SS Barrel No 15-IC or is that 15-1C?

Reid I saw recently that you got a bottle of the 40th that you weren't so pleased with, is it the same one?

This one was a real letdown.

Well damn, I just picked up a bottle of the Four Roses 120th from 2008. I was wanting to get a Rutledge 40th to compare, but now maybe not...:skep:.

If I don't drink better than I bowl I had better give up drinking. :slappin:

Touche' smart ass. Cheers Paul.

Just avoid that bottle, others I've had were great and some of the best bourbon ever.

Yep.... so it is with single barrels. I have a 120th that is "OK" and also have one that is fantastic...

Oscar... this is why I am always asking which EC 18 you are liking as they vary widely....

The Jan 31, 1992, the best ever.

Woodstone Creek Barrel #2, the first one issued. The bottle has sat for about 2 years half-full, with a wine cork inserted to replace the original stopper. It is excellent and better than I recall on issuance. The two years with the big head space must have matured it further in some way (Scott/callmeox, you've got something there). A rich full tasting whiskey with some of the congeneric "slatey" taste I recall from the bottle when new but softened down and more subtle. A true 1800's-style pot still bourbon.

Opened a WLW 117.9 tonight. Best decision of the week.

This bourbon is stellar.

[chilidawg7]

Having a generous pour of OGD 114 and listening to the sweet sound of B.B. King

[kyrocklover]

Wathen's. This has been a great bottle that seemed to get better at each pour. Definitely will look for the barrel number to obtain another.

I had Beam 6 grains before dinner yesterday and WT 101 from 1991 after. Both were pretty ok.

WLarueW 2010, neat.

This bottle has been opened since Christmas Eve and has calmed down quite a bit.

More toffee but still a little hot.

[Martian]

Finished a bottle of Old Ezra.

[bourbonNOOG]

Treating myself to a pour of PVW 23 after an extremely long day at the office. Will possibly move onto WRMC seasoned oak to round out the night.

[GOCOUGS2002]

Dry Fly Wheat Whiskey while in the chat room.

[jburlowski]

EWSB 2001 (not so good) followed by R&E Willett 17 yo wheater (much, much better).

[fishnbowljoe]

I opened a Pappy 15 now that I have a couple in reserve. It's been a while since I've had a taste. Ahhhh. :yum: Joe

[Vosgar]

Having some FR 100th Anniversary to celebrate the Packer's BIG win tonight

[GOCOUGS2002]

OF Repeal and a couple Rittenhouse Rye's tonight during the game. Pack look like the team to beat out of the NFC this year.

[squire]

Will be starting with Grand Dad BIB to fend off the cold, wet weather.

[George]

Having a little pour of EW. Not bad at all, especially for its price.

[nor02lei]

I had quit a few pours yesterday. Vintage 21 rye and old-time 86,8 Dickel 8 before dinner, Stagg 2009 and WLW 2008 after, home made mead that I got from my oldest son with the late soft saffron cake for dessert and a gin and tonic as a night cap. Stagg was the hit of that day and I was also satisfied that the mead worked with the cake as I had predicted.

My only bourbon yesterday was a "Manhattan" on the rocks at a party I was attending. They did a bad job on it. It was pretty much a double or triple MM on the rocks with maybe a a dash in it. Not a bad deal for me though since it was a cash bar. 3 for 1 special.

[jburlowski]

ORVW 10/107, while watching the playoffs.

[Scrub]

Bulleit on the rocks, while watching a stupid movie. It did make the movie better.

[squire]

Following a theme, OGD 50%.
