spy247 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I just ordered an ER101 in for Cam. Retailing at $65.99If anyone needs any, let me know. Taking customs duty, shipping and GST into account, not a bad price. 700ml bottles.Tonight I had some Jim Beam Barrel Bonded - a toast to my mate Jared for his birthday, Jefferson's Reserve Very Old 15yo and some Wild Turkey American Spirit.ScottOhhh Jefferson's Reserve.... being dying to try that.Pity I'm on the other side of the country Scott otherwise I'd take you up on your offer.

camduncan Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Inspired by Gary winning BOTY, last night I tried a little vatting experiment by combining a measure of Basil Hayden with a measure of Bookers. I can't explain exactly what I got, and am not sure I'd do it again, but my theory was that the BH would lower the proof of the Bookers and add a specific Rye eliment to the taste. Unfortunately all I could taste was the Bookers so I think the ratio's need to be adjusted :skep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spy247 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Nice one Cam. I've never been game to try any vatting. Possibly the Bookers was too robust for the Basil Hayden.I'm off tonight to see Return to Forever - celebrating this occasion with Rit BIB and 23 Year Old.

HighTower Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Cam and I enjoyed a few last night. Along with our families we went to Outback Jacks steakhouse for dinner, we then came back to my place for dessert, and a bourbon or 2. :grin: First we had KBS Weller 12s (Barrel of the Year and "The 4th barrel") - bottles that Cliff brought over to Australia with him :toast: Cheers Cliff!!, 1994 WT12 Gold Foil, Pappy 20, Pappy 23, 1980s Makers Mark 101 proof gold wax, Old Forester Birthday Bourbon, Old Fitz 1849, and side-by side sampling of Evan WIlliams Honey Reserve, Wild Turkey Liqueur with Honey & Wild Turkey Amercan Honey. The old style WT honey liqueur was the hands down winner, but all were good.A great night!Now I have to go to work!Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camduncan Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hey! You're welcome. I am seriously behind in reading the threads and just saw this. Glad you guys enjoyed the 2005 KBS Weller 12s. Jeff Yeast and I enjoyed some in Louisville this past weekend. Outstanding whiskey.We're looking at doing a ETL shootout sometime soon. We'll put a KBS Barrel of the Year up against a Barrel C, and I think a Binnys Selection and a standard bottle. Should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camduncan Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Last night (while watching Sons of Anarchy) I had a pour of Pappy 15, followed by a generous pour of Lot B. I finished the evening off with a splash of Evan Williams Honey Liquor in the glass mixed with the dregs of the Lot B.... Wow! What a difference that made. It seemed to smooth the liquor out and give it a depth I hadn't noticed before. The honey was still prominent, but the whiskey changed to a smoother, sweeter tasting bourbon.

Barrel_Proof Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We're looking at doing a ETL shootout sometime soon. We'll put a KBS Barrel of the Year up against a Barrel C, and I think a Binnys Selection and a standard bottle. Should be fun.It's really fun to do blind taste tests. I put the bottles in identical brown paper bags, tape the top of the bag to prevent cheating, mark the bags, and then pour into marked glasses. It's a blast to tear off the paper bags after comparisons are made to see which bourbon was in each bag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I don't know what duck pasta is but I would have to bet it's the other way around, meaning that I'd say it even made the Beam tatse good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stones Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hello fellow Australian bourbon-files - decided to revive this thread as we're well into the next spring/summer with our first significant electrical storm of the season ending with an absolutely beautifully clear day, in Brisbane anyway.Tonight's libations have started with the very popular and wonderful 90 proof Buffalo Trace followed by a 10yr Russell's Reserve 101 proof, an ample pour of 2010 George T Stagg followed by a 1964 8yo 86 proof Old Kentucky Tavern and finishing off with an absolutely outstanding 1966 6yo 100 proof Stitzel Weller Venetian Decanter Old Fitzgerald.Let us know what you've all been enjoying too. Cheers! :yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
