What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter 2010/11

[unclebunk]

Overdid it a bit this morning kneading dough for homemade bagels. Currently parktaking some rheumatism medicine, as Granny would say. Old Fitz BiB (dsp 16).

Words of wisdom from a loving grandmother. My Irish granny had a similar attitude towards whiskey and Beamish stout. (And on a good night she could make Keith Richards look like a pussy.):grin:

I was actually referring to Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies.

Both my grandmothers were loving, but they were teetotalers. I like the sound of your too though!

I started off with cigarnv's selection of 4R OBSK for Paws & Claws-Pours For Pets.

Just another great one, as long as Jim barrels it we'll drink it.

Followed by a glass rinse of 2010 Stagg.

Need a new bottle so I dug a WLW Centennial out of the bunker also a WT Rare Breed as long as I was down in the hole.

A fresh snifter for the Cen-ten,... and it made me realize why BT pulled this off the shelf.

Why sell it for $35 when we can get $70 and a truck load of buzz on top of it.

Grilled some pork steak over hedge earlier today for lunch. Slathered 'em with some BBQ sauce I doctored up with Booker's and ate 'em with a few pours of Maker's 46.

Alternating between the A. Bowman SB rye and some 15 yo ETL.... sometimes extreme contrast is interesting. May switch to a third pour when the WI NCAA game comes one....

[squire]

Grand Dad BIB over ice with water.

[Parkersback]

2 fingers of Stagg '10 with 2 ice cubes. I took a nip from before the ice went in and then at intervals until it was probably 80 proof or less. A good whiskey that is growing on me, but I'm. Still not in love.

[jburlowski]

Closed my eyes and reached into the bunker (a sometimes dark and forbidding place) and pulled out a 2010 ER 17. A very nice selection.

Makes me wish I had one of those remote-control claw arms that you can use to try to snare a stuffed animal from the vending machine in the lobby of Perkins....

Sorry about the free association; but it has been one of those days.

I found an open OCPR slope while putting the bunker up today, so I'm enjoying a pour while waiting for the super moon to show up for its photo op.

I received my first bottle of GTS 2010 today, so I opened it up tonight. I cut it to 107 proof and took my first sip. There was more initial sweetness than I would have thought, but not in a bad way. I can tell there is some greatness here, but I think it needs to open up a bit. I can't wait to try this again in a couple of months after it's had a chance to get some air to it.

WT 101

Old Bardstown Estate 101

OGD BID

Very nice selection if I say so myself.

Just finished watching the Butler Bulldogs take down Pitt. Never seen a crazier ending to a game than that. Didn't go to Butler, but I have plenty of friends who did, even a couple who work there, and I grew up just a few minutes away from that campus. I think this occasion calls for Mariage 2009.

Brad Stevens is as good or better than any coach in the nation. And the Big East...well the record speaks for itself...

[G.H.Adams]

Starting the evening with Wild Turkey Rye and will probably finish with some Eagle Rare 10.

[jcg9779]

After starting with GTS, I moved to VOB BIB and OF Signature as I watched my bracket get blown up.

[roostercogburn]

Had a Rittenhouse BiB while watching the games. Followed with a Hirsch 22 Rye nightcap.

[cigarnv]

Enjoyed a number of short pours with a local friend... RHF (Julio's first), Bowman Reserve rye PS, Willets 5yo (Gonano) and a few others

That reminds me that I have a OCPR slope shoulder in the on deck circle, maybe I'll get to it next week.

BTW, did you get any good moon shots.

And please don't post brat boy moon shots!!:skep:

Yesterday, a few pours of Old Charter 10. In the evening, a dram of PVW15.

No great shots, I think there's a problem with my camera. The edges of the moon were not as crisp as I'd like, so perhaps it is time for an upgrade.

The timestamp in your posts for the Spring Equinox is funny.

[squire]

Finished the evening with Grand Dad BIB.

[M14Shooter]

Last night I had a pour of Parker Heritage 10 year Wheater followed by a few fingers of Blantons.

WLW Centennial, neat.

Knob Creek SB, this is some strong stuff.

[OscarV]

Wrap it up, we are 3 minutes into Spring!!!

Trying Very Special Old Fitz 12 yr. tonight. Upon the first sip I'm not too impressed. Decent initial taste, kind of sweet, but it disappears very quickly. To me it tastes very light, even for a 90 proofer, and unless it opens up a lot it will probably be relegated to the "mixer cabinet" for guests.
