What Bourbon Are You Drinking? - Summer 2011

[jburlowski]

A very good friend of ours died last night after battling ALS. Ann was so vibrant and full of life. Joan and I sat silently on the deck sipping AHH 16 (she was a bourbon lover and Hirsch was her favorite), staring at the trees and enjoying the memories.

Spent the good part of this week trying to convince the fine folks at the IRS that I didn't owe them $400+K. Two hours ago they called to say, "You're absolutely right, you don't owe us a thing".

Have put a serious dent in a new bottle of 4R Mariage. Might be drained by the end of the night.

I spent an afternoon and night on the porch at DougDog's and I can honestly say that I haven't had better bourbon then I had yesterday...unfortunately none of it is available for purchase on the shelves. I guess it's a small price to pay for getting to taste some great stuff! Thanks again Doug and Barb for the hospitality! :cool:

But if you did owe the IRS 400K then your income would have been about 2.5 million.

That wouldn't be bad.

Sorry for your loss John...glad that you were able to toast to her with some fine bourbon!

"Hmmm...I can't decide between the 1945 Lafite or 1929 Latour tonight. Which goes better with hamburgers?"

At any rate...had a VSOF this afternoon with an ice cube, really hit the spot. Probably gonna stick with wheaters tonight. There's an L'burg Old Rip 90 in the cabinet calling my name...

Four Roses Single Barrel OBSV Barrel Strength, neat.

Selected by me and our buddies up the road.

The 45 Lafite is shot, go for the Latour. It's 'been to the mountaintop', but is still drinking nice. :grin:

Does it have a name, or is it magical bourbon the fairies drop off?

Took a flask of Dickel 12 to the movies last light, well this morning really, 12:01 showing of Planet of The Apes.

I'm drinking a Lot B Manhattan now.

Which was more enjoyable, the Dickel or the movie?

The whiskey was good to the last drop, the movie was good, (much better than the last re-make/re-invisioning up till the last scene), which was less plausible than the rest of the picture. See the movie, you'll know what I mean.

Thanks. I love the old "Ape" movies and plan to see this modern version. Poor endings after a good body of work is always a drag though. I'll have to decide what to fill my flask with in order to soften the "less plausible" ending. I hate when that happens!

[sutton]

A small pour of Rare Breed - first bottle purchased, only second time I've had it.

[Roadsaw]

Purchased some angels envy so giving that a try tonight.

Bounced around a bit, this evening. But, have settled in with a couple of pours of BHC VSOF 12 Yr. A perfect representative of what a "wheater" should be. While enjoying this beauty, I'm having one of those "Epiphanal Moments", while I contemplate what a "wheater" is truly supposed to be. I mean, why do wheat as a flavor grain? And, what does that bring? And, I've come to the conclusion that there is only one example produced today. Think about it.
