Just, a great end to the weekend. Slept in today, then, MrsSmokinjoe and I go to Starbuck's, ran 3 miles, cut the grass, went to pool, grilled massive ribeyes on Weber, ate 'em with corn on cob and big garden salad, so....sittin out back with a snifter 1/3 full of WT Tribute, while the girls bake chocolate chip cookies...I deserve none of this...but, I'll take it! :toast:

Last night, I had a barrel aged Manhattan at the Girl & the Goat (chef Stephanie Izard is Top Chef season 4 winner). It's a single barrel from BT.

The bourbon, vermouth and bitters were aged in the barrel. They had to figure how many "dashes" of bitters to add.

here's a link to the story:

We sat at the counter overlooking one of the prep stations. Very interesting. They never stop working. The menu is small plates to share, so there are plenty to prepare. Here's a kitchen shot.

Had some Mellow Corn followed by Hirsch Corn Whiskey all while watching the firetrucks fight a fire a few doors up. Severe smoke damage on the second floor is about the extent of it. A firefighter cut himself badly and we got some Clorox and towels to help clean up the blood.

Tonight I am enjoying several pours of Old Fitz BIB along with a A. Fuente Hemingway Short Story cigar. It's a nice cool down after another 100 degree day.

[mosugoji64]

Had a little ERSB while going over some pharmacology.

[JFenwick]

Just poured a bit of the AH Hirsch 20. Just one drink for tonight, so poured one of my favorites (but the ER101 Lawrenceburg is still best for me).

[OscarV]

Barrel strength 118.8prf of Four Roses OBSV recipe, neat.

[Ian S.]

Weller 107/12 vatting, the bottle just hit the can.

A little Elmer T Lee 90th Birthday Edition. This whiskey tastes like one worth 10 times as much...

[sailor22]

Very Old Barton Bottled in Bond. The first pour tasted so good I poured another. I think it is one of the best bargains in Bourbon today.

[DeanSheen]

Killed an Everetts Weller SR and now I'm having some Binnys Weller 12.

Man, this all star break sucks!

Tasting my first pour of JBB, pretty smooth, but a little harsh on the nose, not picking up very many unique notes. Not a bad drink though however.

[G.H.Adams]

Started the evening with a pour of VOB BIB while grilling steaks and corn on the cob. Tonight I am having a couple of pours of AAA 10 y/o.

[OscarV]

Baby Stagg AKA Eagle Rare 101, neat.

Or is it the other way around?

Gary came over last night after work. We did just a little tasting. We started with the 1989 Barclay's I found. We then moved on to some 1987 Cabin Still, a 1989 Walker's Deluxe, post BHC VSOF, and then finished the night with BT Single Oak Barrel #4. :yum: Cheers! Joe

[jburlowski]

FRSB 2011 LE... simply fantastic. Jim Rutledge 2012!

Starting the evening with Old Hickory

[Young Blacksmith]

my evening cocktail - ginger ale, bitters, and bourbon - made with Bulleit today.

Then on to some EWSB '99. So far this vintage has been my favorite.

I told myself I must finish 3 bottles before I buy another......:grin:

[G.H.Adams]

My order of JB Devils Cut and Early Times 354 Bourbon was delivered today. I am having a pour of Devils Cut now. I don't know what I feel about this. It tastes like a higher proof JB Black and also leans towards the Bakers flavor profile to me.

I will say that it is an easy drinker for 90 proof. Will try the Early Times 354 next.

Gary and the other guys from my bowling team play in a bocce ball league in the summer. I went to watch them tonight. They played good and won both their games. I had some MM 46 while watching. After all, it is the BOTM ya' know. :grin: It tasted pretty darn good tonight. Joe
