What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter 2010/11

[OscarV]

ETL 1B 15yo, neat.

09 WLW. 09 WLW. Not enough letters. Joe

well then, you should have poured a couple more....

[nivto]

I stuck with the noah's mill and four roses smb vatting but added just a splash of WLW. If I had an open OWA I would have used that but the WLW did the job. It filled in the gaps by adding layers of caramel in the midpalate and thickening the mouthfeel. I don't know why I tried to experiment all of a sudden, but this time around was a fun success.

Going to move to something heavier, Knob Creek Single, perhaps a mingling.

OGB BIB tonight. Pretty tasty. Tried the Redemption High-Rye Bourbon again too. Still hated it.

[squire]

OGD was my backup consideration, I hope they keep that one unchanged.

[G.H.Adams]

Starting the evening with 2 pours of Wild Turkey 101 and will finish the night with KCSBR.

[OscarV]

ORVW 10/107, neat.

I hate to say it but this is the worst bottle of Rip I have ever had.

Phoney Label No: B6503

Bottom of the bottle year: 09

Rolling over to 5:00, here. Going with a regular Four Roses Single Barrel. I just don't think I've had any of the 4R LE's, Mariages, or Barrel Proof (both 4R and private bottlings) selections that give me the consistent enjoyment that this one does. At times, some of those I listed can be very good, but I think I'd have to say I prefer the plain old Single Barrel as my fave in the line-up.

Hi OscarV

I have had two bad bottles of Old Rip Vanwinkle 10/107 .They both tasted like cough syrup.

Regards,Mike

P.S. I will post the lot # when I get home from Work

[squire]

Starting simple, Kentucky Tavern mixed with 7 up.

[Master_Photog]

WOW! An unbelievable first pour! I cannot imagine this getting better as the bottle nears its 'sweet spot'.

Nosing - immediate strong honeysuckle, followed by dark chocolate and a sweet vinaigrette dressing note.

This is a fantastic bourbon!!

Had a couple sips neat then added a very small amount of room temp water to really reveal the flavors. The water did this justice by accurately opening up the nosed flavors.

4 quick oz. is a swift kick in the ass too!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Onto VOBBIB after a Four Roses OBSF private bottle. The F yeast is my favorite:lol:! The VOBBIB is better.

Jefferson Reserve 17 yr Batch #7. Finishing this bottle off tonight. Yum Yum in my Tum

[squire]

Finishing with the Knob Creek SB, I haven't leafed through all the pages of this one yet.

[G.H.Adams]

Keeping it simple tonight with Weller Special Reserve and Antique.

[JamesW]

Makers Mark 46. My first taste and I like it. Not sure yet if it's worth the price here in Ontario at $50.

[White Dog]

Saz 18(2009) and BMH 23 Rye. BMH hands down.

I did pop up a Weller 7/107 1985 from the bunker yesterday. It tasted good from the first pour and it was no sign of any off notes like gun powder or harshness for instance that this bottles sometime gives in the beginning. I did continue the wheat trend with WLW 2010 after dinner.

When I got home from my run I made myself a bowl of Blue bell vanilla ice cream. I was going to pour myself a glass of bourbon but then I thought to myself, why can't I have my bourbon and eat it to. I busted out the MM46, which I often and only use for bourbon milk shakes. I popped the top and poured it over the ice cream.

I licked the bowl when I was done.

[squire]

Adam that takes good to the last drop to a new level.

[squire]

Barton BIB, my last bottle as the State now only has the 43% on it's list. Not that were are deprived or anything, we're fortunate to have Barton at all.

[T Comp]

Old label WTRB from '95 now being followed by RR 101. Wow on both tonight!

[squire]

Last pour is Forty Creek Barrel Select, think I'll stretch this one out with a little ice.

[G.H.Adams]

My Four Roses shipment came in today. I started with the yellow label and am finishing up with small batch. I like them both so I guess I will call my internet seller and load up on the rest of their line.:cool:
