What Bourbon Are You Drinking? - Summer 2011

[G.H.Adams]

Tonight I have settled on Wild Turkey 101 with a cube.

[Young Blacksmith]

Had a pour of Bulleit, which is usually good, but has not been satisfying lately. Then I switched to OFo 100, that one really hits the spot. Sweet, chewy, thick nectar of the gods, or at least Brown-Foreman!

In honor of my late pappy's birthday last night, I had a couple of nice pours from the last bottle from his stash, VVOF (BIB in '67). That juice is sooo good. On the advice of SB posters, I have been nursing this fifth for nearly a year, saving it for special occasions. Been working out well so far. My father was a tech rep for a labeling machine company and often called at the Stitzel Weller plant ('60-'70s), where he was gifted with many, many fine bourbons over the years. I wonder if he ever met Pappy....

Four Roses Barrel Strength, 10 years 6 months old, 118.8 proof, neat.

This is a great selection made by the 1789b group last April.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to help select it.

[SMOWK]

Cheers Oscar! :cool: I've got a private selection in my glass as well.

Current release AAA 10 Star 90 proof tonight...haven't had this one in a while and I'm getting some good vanilla out of it tonight. This standard release is very hit or miss with me. Some nights I get the good vanilla/maple/caramel thing going on and it makes me think that it's a great value pour....other nights it just tastes like cheap, bottom shelf swill.

PS #3 Bowman Barrel Proof Rye. This is one dark and delicious whiskey. :yum:

[DeanSheen]

CNB OWA #49 has it's hooks in me. Ohh so tasty.

PVW 15 & Lot B last night.

PVW 15 & Lot B last night.

[QUOTE][/QUOTE]

I am sipping some Lot B as I type.

[PaulO]

I hadn't had any OF Signature for a while, and ended getting some. The store I made a special trip to was basically out of rye whiskies, and OWA. They had the OF for $15. When opened, it smells sort of like maple, and a nice bakery. I seem to ignore most of the other opened bottles when I have this.

[lrochau]

Cracked a bottle of OWA, it's been months... Good stuff.

[smokinjoe]

I have pooh-pooh'd the crap out of the Russell Reserve Rye here, over the years. Bland, boring,..yadda, yadda, yadda...But, tonight, it delivered something really special for me. I poured it, left it sitting for a bit of time, and then came back for my nosing and first sip. When I lifted it to my nose, I wasn't thinking what was in the glass. Frankly, I had forgotten that I had a new pour in my glass. The "special" thing that it delivered was the huge hit of something that I have never experienced in any rye whiskey...Rye Bread! Never, ever, have I even had a tinge of rye bread from a rye whiskey. This one did. And, since I wasn't thinking rye when I took my first nose and sip, I've discounted the power of persuasion. Makes me pretty happy with the brand, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow to see if I get it again. Oh, the learning never stops....

Had a little JW Dant BIB at bowling. We did a side by side of pre-fire DSP 31, and DSP 2. :yum: Both good. At the moment, I'm having some Ezra Brooks 101 month old from the wildlife decanter I got a few weeks ago. It's not too shabby either. Joe

[jcg9779]

Last night I enjoyed a pour of FR SB OBSV and a pour of PHC 2010. Both were terrific.

[unclebunk]

Too much Old Forester Signature last night but it sure went down the hatch nicely.

[BigRich]

Last night I finished the evening with a pour of PHC 2010.

[OscarV]

OGD 114, neat.

Friday is only a day away.

Yeah but at 114 proof have a few and all will be well.:cool:

[smokinjoe]

Last pour on this rainy night in Georgia, is a Heaven Hill 6 yr BIB.

[G.H.Adams]

Tonight it is Four Roses Single Barrel with a good cigar.
