jcg9779 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Lot B is a nice choice for the fall. I had a pour of Maker's and an old fashioned with made with High West Rendezvous and Peychaud's bitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 A little Dickel #12 down the hatch last night. Not bad, not bad at all when you need something simple and light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Last night it was KCSB with a neighbor. Still haven't had any that is appreciably better / different than the standard- issue KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Trying to finish up a bottle of Benchmark, which I'm "tolerating" and not exactly "enjoying." This is some young bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanSheen Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I knocked off a bottle of ODG 114 last night on my buddies porch. No, it was not full when I started. Tonight it's a little Saz Jr. Not sure what I will have after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 KBS Selection of 1792. A beautiful sweetness up front. Subtle hit of oak to balance it out. A very nice complement to a nice early Fall evening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clingman71 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 ORVW 10/107 was the Bourbon of my summer, just as good in the fall. Time to restock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcg9779 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Having a pour of FR SmB LE 2010, and this bourbon is FINALLY hitting the sweet spot for me. It's been open for months, and i found it lacking something each time I tried it. I don't know what has changed tonight, but it is tasting great and is a terrific first pour for the fall.

BMartin42 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Let's see if I can recall all of the samples from Galt House in downtown Louisville last night. VWFRR - first taste of this ever. Some really good ryeOFBB 2011Old PogueKentucky BeauJW DantOld Charter Prop ReserveOriginal Barrel 107 by Heaven HillOld Ezra 7ORVW 10/90ORVW 10/107BookersTW SamuelsKentucky GentlemanFighting CockJTS BrownI was on a mission to try most of what they had that I had never sampled. I was severely disappointed in the OCPR given the love it gets on here. Maybe their bottle has just been open too long. Jean the bartender said it was their last one. The JTS Brown may be a new value pour for me. I was fairly impressed for a bottom shelfer. I was pretty impressed with the Old Ezra 7 year too. Not sure if that one is still in production. Never seen it in my neck of the woods. Some like the Old Rips I had just to enjoy, and some like FC and Old Pogue were revisits that I hadn't enjoyed the first time. Still didn't care for either. The 2011 OFBB was pretty tasty. Lots of the typical OF flavors just more intense and with a hint of nutmeg to my palate finishing with a lot of black licorice. Only the KY Beau and the KY Gentleman were really awful according to my scribbled notes. Heading to do the BT tour and WT tour this morning. Hope it stops raining before we get there.

DeanSheen Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I went to the bunker and grabbed a 2009 WLW. So good. It's being put to much better use up here in the light that it was doing in hiding. Glad I have more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Yesterday it was some Knob Creek Single Barrel, tasty.Best regards, tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Yesterday was the last full day in Louisville. Had samples of BT & ER10 at BT. Samples of RB & KS at WT & all three FR products there. We went for appetizers at BLU at the Marriott when we got back. What a find! We had a flight of PVW 15,20, & 23 for $35!!!! We were really excited because we had only ever had the 20. Everyone agreed the 20 was the best. I was the sole holdout that said the 15 tasted better than the 23. The really good news was that after tasting it, the wife gave me permission to buy as much as I can find this fall! Followed that flight by finishing off the last of their GTS. Back to the Galt House and I had:Black Maple HillsFR1BThe last sips from their last bottle of VG the Fox. Wathen'sBuffalo TraceSam HoustonThe wives wanted to finish the trip at Howl At The Moon. Best we could do there was Knob Creek. All in all, a great trip. Got to same lots that I had never tasted before during the 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
