What bourbon are you drinking? - Spring 2011

[Guest wripvanwrinkle]

A 3 to 1 ratio of WLW2010 to Weller 12. This blend has saved the WLW for me...I just don't seem to enjoy it by itself.

Vosgar invited me over to his house last night. We sat on his back porch and enjoyed some good conversation, a couple cigars, and just a little bourbon. :skep: We started the night with pours of Big Buck bourbon, and an early, post BHC VSOF. We then switched to a couple of dusties. A 91 JW Dant BIB, and a ND Old Taylor. To finish the night it was Pappy 20, ER 101, Weller Centennial, and Pappy 15. IIRC, we may have had more than one pour of Pappy 15. Maybe the Pappy 20 too. What a great night! The weather even cooperated. :grin: "It don't git no better'n this Vern." Joe

Starting tonight off in the same way that I ended last night - a small pour of PVW 15.

Drinking some booker noe 125-proof do not think about getting behind the wheel of your car or else this is one great bourbon-Philly

The Binny's bottling of the Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve which is just outstanding. This is on the same level for me as other great releases of the past year such as the BTACs, FR barrel strengths and PHC wheater. I brought her down tonight to about 90 proof and it's still thick enough you could cut the peanuts and chocolate out with a knife.

This evening I started out with several pours of Eagle Rare SB 10 y/o. After that I started with a pour of Buffalo Trace which I will probably end the night with.

Just a little WTKS

Celebrating several things with a Wild Turkey Tribute. A mammoth whiskey, in honor of a Titan in the industry. This is Turkey at it's best. Big and Bold, but velvety and refined, at the same time. One of the true great whiskies on this planet.

Although this isnt a current drop this is reviewing my previous 5 months. Spring cleaning and it turns out this is my empty bottle stash since January!

Can someone label them all?

This is my Dec to January festive season haul. As you can see i certainly hooked into the scotch. Acquired the WTTradition for $85.. first week of release back in June '10 coming home from a stint volunteering with the Waodani (Huaorani for those in the know, notoriously the most homocidal group of tribes in anthropology history, with more than 6/10 members being speared to death in the past 150 years, with the last 20 years being an exception due to western interception)in the Ecuadorian amazon..For those interested, the only female present had to be choppered out of the village due to one of the seniors claiming possession of her. This is their culture and when an elder points to a female they have to give their life to the person otherwise they get speared. She was there for a week until the chopper was organised to rescue her.. touched down for 30 seconds and then took off with her on board. This might sound extreme but these things still go on. The Waos are a wholistic tribe where if they see an item they want they believe if they point at it that it is theirs. This is due to their belief of the Great Boa.. (a serpent deity) The great boa is revered trough most Waorani and Quechua tribes in the ecuadorian, peruvian and western brazillian amazon. I was there as an atheist volunteer which only respected their view of spirituality etc I even took the quechua baptism ceremony which involves taking ayahuascua plant (which for those who know is a very spiritual and amazingly enlightening plant OR an amazingly tripped out plant which has yet to receive international acceptance as a ... wait i was gonna say acceptable plant but i dont know yet. I dont know if it is acceptable...its like crack cocaine times 5 times the length....) Only those who took the ayahuasca experience know what the deities mean.... to prove that i only believe in their way of living. . I performed such duties as teaching basic english (which i thought was useless) and building unisex and community toilets which were previously nonexistant although months on are used all day everyday which means a change was effected in the village!! glad i could make a difference. Just so all know, i am an Australian who only learnt Japanese and German in high school. Graduated to spanish and travelled to ecuador, loved being able to learn more spanish.. wish i knew more as the Ausse scjppp;s Eg all tribe members going toilet in the rivers or creeks. Duty free which is a steal.. this is the fist WT that i actually enjoyed so much that i couldnt wait for the next pour.

A bit of 2007 ORVW 10/90 and finished up with a HW 21YO Rye.... both quite good and quite different....

[hambone]

Last night I had a couple pours of WT101 and finished with a small pour of Dickel 12. Probably two of my favorite mid priced whisk(e)ys.

I find it hard not to like the Dickel 12.... the easiest drinking whiskey made IMO and a unique flavor profile to boot....made for summers on the porch.

Had a bit of Old Grand Dad BIB. Not a bourbon but I also had some Wasmund's Single Malt that was delicious.

Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit April 13, 2000, neat.

[cigarnv]

The earlier posts inspired me to reach for a GD Barrel select to kick off the week end....

[sutton]

EWSB 2000 - neat, with some water on the side. The weather isn't great right now - hope it improves for the weekend. This is really hitting the spot.

[nblair]

Enjoying a Saz 18 to start off the weekend. Despite the low proof, it's really hitting the spot.

Old Ezra 101. This stuff is a real bargain, IMO.

RB&F 1792 while watching the Tribe.

[Guest wripvanwrinkle]

A few pours of Knob Creek at the bar followed by an Old Grand Dad 114 at home. Thank you Mr. Beam.

Starting my evening with a heavy pour of Blanton's.

[hectic1]

Started the evening with pours of Jameson 12 and Ginger...then a pour of JW Double Black on the rock...now the night starts WTRB 1997.
