snifred Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've had a few small pours from some open bottles that I haven't tried in a while. FRSmB, Bulleit, EC12 and 1792. The FR didn't taste good at all, Bulleit was ok, EC12 was great, and 1792 was pretty good. ERSB has been one of my favorites but I was really put off earlier this year when I bought 2 1.75's on sale and both were just terrible, like cough medicine. I just tasted the bit I had left and it's still terrible. I love the BTAC version and wish I still had confidence in the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 OF Signature and a nice pour of OF Birthday 2007. Despite the Bears' loss to the Packers today, it was a good afternoon of football and bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I had some 13 y uncut HH distilled right before the fire and bottled Cadenheads both before and after dinner. Than later WTKS with some plain ice cream, witch actually turned out to be American (Tom and Jerry). After that I had a neat pour of WLW 2008 while watching a Stones concert on television.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrub Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I currently have several open bottles, and I am jumping between them trying to look for the flavors I am hearing about on here, and it is going pretty well. OGD 100 BIB; Weller Antique 107; Bulleit; ERSB; Rebel Reserve; MM and a few others. At this point for a neat pour I prefer the ERSB or Bulleit, but I have discovered that a light application of water really makes a wheater work for me pretty well.All in all it is just great to have some time off so I can be drinking bourbon, but I will have to make a field trip to somewhere without state controlled stores soon to find a better variety.

chilidawg7 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A little bit of Fighting Cock and Mountain Dew while playing cards and watching football on the last day of break before work. Trying to come up with a clever name for this drink and we can't get past "Cock a Doodle Dew" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're getting good cards. :toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Dog Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A little bit of Fighting Cock and Mountain Dew while playing cards and watching football on the last day of break before work. Trying to come up with a clever name for this drink and we can't get past "Cock a Doodle Dew" Yikes, that's a helluva drink. Reminded me of a night in high school when all I could steal from the house was Tequila and root beer. It wasn't so bad after the first 20 ounces...

smokinjoe Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A gentle pour of a Fairfield Distillery Henry McKenna 6 yr 86 proof to finish up a day lounging around the crib, before heading back to slaving for the man, tomorrow. This is a very clean and bright whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nor02lei Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I had 2 small pours of 86,8 Dickel 8 and BS before dinner yesterday. I don’t know what to think of the old-timer. It’s very pungent and has a big body for any 86 proof whiskey, but the Tennessee flavours are pretty well hidden. Old trusty WT 8 export with the last Tom and Jerry ice-cream for desert.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Can't wait to see what you think about this bottle...I grabbed a bunch of them based on Reid's review... ETL 15yo 1B, neat. This ETL 15yo 1B is unique, it is both elegant and subtle. At first I mistook it for another narrow flavored ETL but this seems to have a charming effect on both the nose and the palate. It is not an in yo face big bold bourbon, you have to take it real slow on both the smell and taste. It would be easy to dismiss it at first but sip slow and wait and you'll find it's secrets. I am amazed at the lack of wood in both the nose and taste for a 15yo ryed bourbon. I only got one bottle so I am going to savor this at those special moments times. Like Reid said it has it all spice, cherry, cocoa, vanilla, carmel toffee but none steal the show, all very balanced, over all a very balanced whiskey. All flavors are subtle and lurking in the background, hence the suggestion to take it slow when you have the time to spend. I'll go along with his rating, 85-89 very good to above average, but I think there will be times in the future that I would kick it up a few notches. Now then, with all that said I will not drink this bourbon the way Elmer T Lee prefers his bourbon and that is mixed with 7-Up or Sprite. Sorry Elmer, I'll be sipping neat and leave the 7&7's to the local yokels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Uncut 13 Y HH from Cadenheads before dinner and Rittenhouse BIB after. I did try the HH with water as well, but I think it is better neat. Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Started with a Willett Pot Still Reserve after a looooooooong day at work.
