jcg9779 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Can you guys tell I'm ready for winter to be over? :cool:I'm right there with you, nblair! It's sunny and mid-50's today and supposed to be sunny and mid-60's this weekend down here in Atlanta. I'm sure there will still be some very cold days, but I think this is the sign that Spring isn't too far away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifax Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Sipping on some McKenna SB neat. Barreled 1/25/99. It's been a while since I visited this pour. Tasty bits of toffee, cream and vanilla with a pleasant semi-sweet finish with enough burn to last to the next sip. I can't quite put my arms around it to describe it in better detail... But, this is one tasty bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrochau Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Couple glasses of ORVW 107 and now having a Weller 12. Nothing on TV tonight... No hockey, no football so just good bourbon and Bill Burr podcast! Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hectic1 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Finished the night with some Weller 12 and ORVW 10/107...15% off day at Binny's today so I think I'll grab a couple more bottles of ORVW 10/107 for the bunker...one can never have too much of a very good everyday pour!

That's a great deal and an excellent daily drinker. We don't even get the 10 year here, not sure why as all the others make it up. From what I gather there was lots of it to go around last release.

the Duff Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Went to a Hy-Vee bourbon tasting with a buddy last night. Very cool. Tried 13 different things! Tenessee whiskey first, blind, JD and Dickel 12. Then White Dog. Bourbons were Kentucky Velvet, Weller 7, OWA NAS, WT 101, OGD 100, WTRB, MM46, Bookers, Bakers, and FRSmB . Mind you, these were all thimble fulls.With our whistles wet we took advantage of the 10% in the liquor department, went back to his place and had pours of Fighting Cock, Sam Houston, and ER 10. Amazingly enough I preferred the FC over the other two. That is a tasty bourbon for a tasty price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarnv Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just followed up with a 2010 OF BB... man this stuff is not my cup of tea... some real off flavors at the back. The Beam was much better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeox Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 I stopped by a fellow SB'ers place today to meet the new addition and he cracked open a 2010 WLW for us to gnaw on a bit. I didn't get the heat that some others have reported and a tiny splash of spring water smoothed out any proof rough spots. It's a delightful pour and I'm glad I was able to bunker a few.Now I'm relaxing with the Rolex 24 on the tube and a pour of the Curtis/Hightower FRSB at my side.

Gillman Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Bourye, a mingling of a bourbon and two ryes. Not bad, but somehow I expected more.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nblair Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Taking a page out of Gary's book, but not nearly as adventurous...just a pretty basic vatting (I also think Bob did this same thing a few weeks ago). Picked up a mini Basil Hayden at Liquor Barn today and doing 50/50 with OGD 114. I think it's tremendous. It brings out a little more sweetness in the OGD, but you still retain that nice finish that is non-existent on the BH. It's 97 proof and worth every penny. I figure if I pick up an OGD114 for $23.99 and a Basil Hayden for $32.99, it's less than $30 for each bottle of this concoction. I'd recommended it.

nivto Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Four Roses SB, warehouse KE and barrel 7-3QI find the single barrel to be dangerously enjoyable. I'm noting the warehouse/barrel because this bottle is exceptional. Very well rounded. Maple, spices, and rye. It's a very warming whiskey, full of maple cream and spices. I get raisins in the taste as well. I managed to find one more bottle from this barrel, which I'm happy about, but when I went back to find more the bottles on the shelf were from a different warehouse/barrel. I wish I had gotten a case of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicfrost Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I just had my first pour of ETL. I'm disappointed, not at all what I expected. Maybe a few more tries will change my mind, or I'm sending it to the pile of "mixing" whiskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
