What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter 2010/11

ER17 while watching Grown ups. Something has to make this movie tolerable.

Ending the evening with a short Paws & Claws 4R's OBSK 2010.....

[MissinER101]

Been preparing for the coming winter weather (freezing rain--> sleet--> 8+ inches of snow with high wind and single digit temps), got another load of wood and stacked on the porch, got some sand, started the generators and got 20 gals of gas....

Relaxing in front of the fire with the wife and a Glencarnen full of George Dickel, no date indication on the 200ml flask but a real tax stamp. Doesn't have a bite on entry, a lot of caramel ,some corn, rye spice and a nice lingering finish.

Earlier I popped a WLW 2010. Tasty as ever and a bit of water gets me right in the Centennial wheelhouse.

Ran some errands and grabbed a 2010 EWSB. Second bottle I have had of this year and I like it better than the 2009 which is all I have to compare it to.

OWA and Pappy 15. 107=heaven. :grin: Joe

[chefnash51]

last night i had a pour of:

ETL 15 yr

VWFR Rye

Willett 12 yr (Party Source)

Tonight I'm thinking of starting off with Willett 17 yr (Shoppers Vineyard). So far this has blown me away the most.

Helped a friend move furniture, so we decided to finish off bottles rather than move them. We had:

Lot B

Rare Breed

Bookers

MM 46

OF Signature

[lrochau]

Had friends and family over last night and we tried about everything! They were pretty new to the game and they hadn't tried anything that I servied up before: Weller 12, WLW'10, Templeton, Cedar Ridge, ORVW 107, Baby Saz, Handy 09

PHC 2010 124.2 cut to 107...man is this some of my favorite stuff...so good and much sweeter at 107!

[DeanSheen]

WLW 2010 Tasty goodness.

[G.H.Adams]

Makers Mark now and will probably finish tonight with some Old Weller Antique. Awaiting delivery Monday of Buffalo Trace.

Finishing up a bottle of Woodford Reserve

[GOCOUGS2002]

EC18 tonight; I haven't touched this one in months and glad I did, I forgot how much I love the smoke, wood, vanilla and carmel in this one.

So, this question probably belongs in the newbie forum, but I'm curious. How do you calculate what proof you are cutting a bourbon down to? is there some formula for adding water to a certain proof, or is it a guess based on experience? I've seen other people mention something similar but have always wondered how people determine the proof they cut to.

I believe this is what you're looking for.

Couple of pours yesterday afternoon; KC120, '08 Julio's RHF #1, Dant Indiana Whiskey, BT Experimental (14 yr 9 mo), SW Weller 12. Not too shabby...... :grin:

[DeanSheen]

KCSBR fresh from the factory.

The guy at the liquor store said "boy you were quick on that one, we just got it in today and that's the first bottle out of here."

No kidding, that's why I stopped!
