What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter 2010/11

[squire]

Tonight Forester BIB, over ice with water.

Toasting what has turned out to be a really good week, with a healthy pour of Maker's 46. This 46 is wonderful whiskey.

[ggilbertva]

Enjoyed a respite from the winter weather today reaching a high of 75. Celebrating with a little WT 8/101.

JBW. Weller SR. BT. RHF.

The Weller SR is great for such a low price pour. Certainly not as good as the antique or the 12, but for less than $14 I'm not sure it can be beat by anything else I have tried at that price point. Beats the pants out of JBW, OT, or OC at any rate. Anybody have any suggestions for something that is as good or better for $14 or less?

Heaven Hill BIB.

I am finally enjoying some Weller 12 thanks to a fellow SBer.

[G.H.Adams]

Last night I had some Old Fitz BIB from 1968 followed by a Binny's Weller 12...hands down the Binny's Weller 12 was a better pour for me. It's been about a year since I've had that pour and I was amazed by the thickness and the caramel and vanilla that is has. I've been drinking down a current bottle of Weller 12 BT juice and it has far more wood and not nearly the thickness of the Binny's bottle. I've had many bottles of Weller 12 and to my pallet this bottling ranks at or very close to the top. The extra age on this bottling really seems to have brought the best out of the Bernheim bourbon that's inside. I know alot of people love the SW Weller 12's from the 90's but IMO this stuff is right there with it.

Weller SR, which is tasting really good.

Did a little celebrating last night and was all over the place.

I pulled a Binnys Weller 12 out of the bunker. Still tasty.

Still not a fan of this OFBB. It's about the 4th time I've tried it and just cant get a good feel for it.

[jburlowski]

A healthy pour of R&E Willett 17 yo wheater.... OK, several of them.

Blanton's & AAA 10 year. Pretty impressed with the AAA. First time I 've had it.

Having a pour of Buffalo Trace. This is turning into my everyday pour.

Pappy 20. I am enjoying both the maturity & smoothness. It still maintains the vibrance, but I don't particularly like the grassy finish. The finish is reminiscent of a much younger bourbon.

I did chare some WTRR101 with my sons here in Gothenburg last night. It was a while since I had this brand and it was better than I remembered.

Finished up the evening with a touch of wheat, Bernheim. I'm still working on my tasting notes.

[nblair]

Enjoyed a vatting of EC18 and PS Willett 3 Year 123.1 proof. Didn't measure anything, just put in a splash of the Willett at the end. Next time I'll note the proportions, I think it worked out quite well. The younger bourbon added some strength, took a little off of the sometimes tannic finish of the EC, yet retained the fabulous nose.

On to some Four Roses OESO now...

[sailor22]

The last few days have been visits to RHF, ETL15yr, EB12yr and 4R OBSK. I enjoyed every pour.

[foxflyer5]

lately, ive been drinking the PVW 15 and the Old Weller Antique for my nice bourbons and letting the Old Crow do the daily grunt work.

[M14Shooter]

Just open a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel.It has a great nose with a lot of Honey and spice.On the palate some caramel ,candy fruit and a little vanilla.

It had a medium weight and a fairly long finish.

A great pour for a $30.00 bourbon.

Forester Signature because I can't get the damn cork out of the Knob Creek SB.
