How do you feel about that bourbon? I bought a bottle lately based on the recommendation of a couple people but have yet to crack it open. I have since heard varying opinions

Let's crack a bottle open and compare notes. I'll crack mine on my next pour.

I had to abandon my run this afternoon, when I tweaked my left achilles. It's been giving me problems for several years, now. So, I'll begin the healing therapy with a nice, neat, pour of VOB BIB. I'll save the ice for my leg...:D

ORVW 10/90. I don't pour this one often because I typically go with the 10/107, but this is a very good pour. Not quite as assertive, and perfect for those contemplative nights or for when I still want a great pour but want to be able to drink for a while and watch the Mavericks game. :grin:

I got a little frustrated at work so I busted out the ORVW10/90

This stuff is pretty good but I wish I could have landed the 107...

ORVW 10/107 :grin:
You just had to :skep:
I couldn't help myself... :slappin:

I actually posted what I was drinking before I read these other posts. There's nothing wrong with the ORVW 10/90!

Nothing at all. I enjoy the both of them. I just know how much Winston wants a damn bottle of the 10/107. So, I had to give him hell. :grin:

Just sat down from going all day, to cap the evening off I grabbed a pour of some mid 80's WT lore series 8yr old (neat). Old Turkey is tough to beat!

Finished off the last pour from a Weller 12.

Followed it up with a OWA nas. The OWA is better tonight. This last batch of Weller 12 I got hasn't really opened up real well where this OWA is tasty, but a bit on the minty side. It has a spearmint lifesaver type finish with a mildly sharp bite. I know, it dosen't make sense unless you chew the lifesaver.

Toasting the end of vacation with some EWB. Trying to compensate for the bitterness of saying goodbye with some sweet bourbon. :grin:

Some Vintage 21 rye then PVW15 while I watch the newest episode of Treme if my On Demand will stop glitching.

I like WTAS and have bunkered a few I have found for $69 or less. It is IMO different enough from the WT lineup to make it a worth while addition. Big, rich spice notes followed by vanilla and caramel in a well balanced package. Very nice complexity with under control wood make it a very approachable sipper.

I think the WT AS is a bit of a sleeper.... one of those "I should have bought more of that when I could have" whiskey's.

Last evening was just a few pours of plain old Four Roses Yellow label..... straight forward and easy to drink on a warm night...

I got the one I bought for $60, must have been an amazing deal then! I keep seeing a bottle or two around town, usually for $75-90. I guess I'll have to open mine soon and see if it's worth buying more.

Someone on the board-Callmeox, maybe?-talked about mingling OGD & Weller 12. I took that idea and ran with it. I poured a finger of ND OGD BIB, then added a splash of Weller 12, then added a splash of WLW 2010. Simply wonderful.

It wasn't me so I can't take credit, but it sounds delicious. I don't do a lot of vatting at home, but I probably should try it more with all of the bottles I have open.

I'm working my way through a sample of 2007 OFBB that I found in the back of the cabinet recently. I never seem to be able to warm up to the OFBB and this one is no different.
