Josh Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Enjoyed a 1980s vintage Old Forester last night in memoriam of Owsley Brown II and then had little too much Binny's Weller 12, so I'm taking it easy today.Enjoyed Virginia Lightning with 2 ice cubes and a lime wedge around lunch time. Now contemplating what to sip while a cook supper tonight. We're having pulled pork taquitos with side dish TBD. Hmmm...Wild Turkey might be hit the spot.

Pirate762 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Started with an Old Forester SIgnature BIB. Then a Charter 101. Working on a GTS 10 now. I have about one pour of the Stagg left in this bottle. When I started pouring it you could see the sediment from the barrel swirling around in the whiskey like smoke.... Awesome.Cheers,Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy that last pour, Jim!:toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Maker's 46. Full-flavored bourbon, with some extra sweetness and aromatics from the stave treatment I think. I'm getting too some perfume/flowery scents, as if in an old plush study with a flower vase, that I recall from some older ryes (oddly) and certain other straight whiskeys from years past. You notice it a lot off the side of the glass when empty. Very worthy.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Dog Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Barclay's BIB, DSP ILL 3, Peoria, Illinois. Distilled 1968, bottled 1972. Half pint. It's not bad, and growing on me. A bit musty on the nose when I first opened the bottle, but it's starting to round out with a slightly sweet finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Really enjoyed some BT last night. Almost like liquid caramel. We all thought it tasted like they put ETL in a BT bottle by mistake. Moved on to Cyrus Noble which I did not enjoy. Very grassy and hints of green vegetable. Everything I don't like about HH products. Finished with current WTKS. Pretty tasty.

ThomasH Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Built the first fire of 2011 in the fireplace. It takes away the chill of a long day at work. Sitting by the fire sipping drinks is one of my favorite things. Have decided to compare the 10 recipes of Four Roses. Having the next 2 days off of work: priceless!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Four Roses Small Batch 2011 Limited Edition. Thank you Mr Postman.It was sitting on the porch when I got home, glad the squrriels didn't get to it first.Ah yes, Jim Rutledge did it again. There are so many flavors mingling and coming in and out.Brown sugar coated apricots, cherries covered with cocoa powder.I am half way into the first one neat. If I had to say anything negative I'd say a bit to hot but I think some time time will calm it down.It is 110.2 proof and I will do some cutting to see what other hidden treasures I can find.
