Had my first taste of WT101 last night at a party. Obviously I wasn't in the best environment for a proper evaluation (not to mention it wasn't my first drink of the evening), but for the price, it was pretty tasty. I'll more than likely pick up a bottle down the road.

WT101 is one of my favorites for cocktails. Right now I'm watching Green Bay beat the Eagles while sipping my version of a Snowshoe: 2 parts of WT101 and 1 part Mothers peppermint schnapps, on the rocks.

My wife dragged me to see "Black Swan". I had "several" KCs at lunch beforehand. During the movie, I closed my eyes so I could concentrate on the dialogue.... :22:

Having exhausted my supply of the barrel #3 (pre cask strength) Binny's bottling of FRSB, I opened a standard FRSB (44-5H) I bought in a drug store in Kentucky for $31.00 last summer. Glad I did and so good this is all I need tonight.

EWSB 2000, and now a pour of KC while watching the first golf tourney of the year. Gotta get pretty swings into my head for the golf trip to Florida this weekend. Hopefully my dad has found a decent bottle for us to share while we are there.

My wife did the same thing to me last Sunday. After watching that tub of crap of a film I darn well needed a drink. :rolleyes: I paid her back with a trip to see True Grit... :cool:

We don't get snows here Down South, like we're getting tonight. A powdery 5-6", so far, and it is gorgeous. Just finished a late night family walk through the neighborhood (no school tomorrow) with a VOB BIB in tow. Maybe, it's just the Wintr'y weather, but I'm gettng a very nice hint of oatmeal to this VOB, tonight. It's the same distinctive flavor I always get with the VOB, but oatmeal is what jumps out as the descriptor, tonight. :crazy:

I had a small pour of MM this evening. Followed by a little ERSB. It's been stated here before, but I don't find MM to be all that complex and don't see myself replacing the 375 I have once I finish it.

Hey Joe.... gonna be a mess driving this AM. Here in Va. no snow but it has been damn cold for weeks now.... in any case I was also sipping a bit of VOB BIB last evening. One of those bourbons that I always seem to bypass and then when I do drink it wonder why I don't grab for it more often.....

Not sure what I will drink tonight, but it will have to be from Heaven Hill. I received a sign today. I looked out the back door here at work and there was a Heaven Hill truck backed into the dock. Apparently they are backhauling the auto parts we produce on the empty trucks after they drop off at the warehouse in Raleigh; but it was really exciting to imagine a truckload of bourbon sitting in the parking lot.

Yep Reid, It's a mess, so my trip to NC and East TN has been cancelled. I guess it just gives me an excuse to saddle up more VOB tonight!

It will be something warming as we combat the weather. Kids are making snowmen on the college campus and the freezing rain has shut down the bridges and messed up my phone lines.

VOBBIB is dangerous in my house. I went through 4 or 5 cases of it last year. It's one of those bourbons that is so cheap, and so drinkable, I almost always end up finishing the bottle in one sitting.

I don't think I will use Maker's 46 for this again...............

JPS, batch 1. Very, very nice. Seems to get better the longer the bottle has been open.

Just having a glass of Old Granddad BIB while sitting at the computer. It is cold here in southeast NM right now as it's about 28 degrees and is supposed to get down to 14. That's cold here in the desert. It's between Old Grandad 114 or Weller 7 107 for a nightcap.

Hear, hear. Open with caution. And there's a new one I bought on a whim that is in the same category: Fighting Cock. Man, is that stuff delicious. It's hard to lift the bottle up once I start pouring - glug glug glug... :bigeyes: Definitely one of my top 3 value bourbons (the other 2 being VOB 100 and EW BiB 100).

Fighting Cock is one of my favorite unforchanately they quit carring it where I was buying it. But I can special order it.
