Started with BT and have moved to WT101, WTRB, and now Weller SR. Contemplating my next pour.

Am having several pours of Jim Beam Black that I picked up the other day when I picked up some Tullamore Dew for the wife. It's been awhile since I had it.

Just finished a big Ardbeg tasting at a local pub... had to come home and wash my mouth out with OC Proprietor's Reserve

Started with some 90 proof tax strip Old Setter and finished with some Party Source 8yr Willett. Both were the right Bourbon at the right time. Interesting how it works out that way more often than not.

Finished the Fourth of July weekend with a pour of Pappy 23. It was a good holiday!

Had a WT101 and JD Single Barrel tonight after work. The JDSB followed the WT101 very nicely.

Trying out this Pure KY XO again... I think I know what I dislike about it: it's bone dry. It has all the woody, spicy and mouth coating characteristics I love in a good bourbon but lacks the sweetness I prefer.

Pouring some "home made Rye" - got some new make Rye (75% Rye & 25% corn) from Grand Traverse Distillery and aged it myself for 6+ months in a new, charred barrel - it's hot (125+ proof), but a little water tames it.

I drink it sparingly, as it's a true one of a kind! But it screams "Summer" to me!

I just got some 95-5 that I will barrel in a couple of weeks. Probably won't be drinking it until this thread expires, however.

Mixed up a little Mellow Corn Corn Whiskey with Ginger Ale and Peychaud's bitters for an after work cocktail, then on to a healthy pour of Weller's 107 (before it was antique...) edit to add: just found out it's weller 7/107.

I'm enjoying this foray into wheated bourbons.

Having several pours of Baker's 107 tonight. Will probably have OGD 114 for a nightcap.

Bernheim gold cap ginger and Dickel 8... light but tasty for a warm and humid summer evening....

I've had multiple bottles of Weller 12 and OWA, and I'm halfway through this year's Weller BTAC, but I'd never tried WSR. That changed today: a very easygoing and enjoyable whiskey, sweet, with a nose and palate of cherry and vanilla.

Finishing off a bottle of Kahn's select Blanton's. It their Barrel #3, aka Barrel 86, Rick 7 and of course warehouse H, dumped 2/23/09.

Nice stuff. Never tasted leather in whiskey before this bottle, but this one is like a biker bar in a bottle.

Just finished coaching my son's baseball team, and I'm about to dive into my second OGD 114 with one ice cube.
