Special Reserve Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 My first drink of the new season was a VWSR Lot B yesterday morning.Now I'm enjoying a WT12 GCL celebrating a Lions victory. The first time this millennium they qualified for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWF Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Somehow it's been Evan Williams taking the lone spot on the mantle while on vacation. I had a few black label minis left over from a previous trip (@ $1.50 they were the best buy in Boston back in November), and in the few short minutes I had to myself to hunt for a bottle here in Boca Raton, the 2000 1B offered itself to me twice. I left it to leave my one and only bottle slot open for another find (I'm so not used to having only one bottle to keep me company at a time, and alas, I've no one to share with) but struck out three times with liquor store GPS before heading back to the EWSB '00 for $26.99. I found 4RSB today for $12 more that I would have preferred, but I'm not complaining too much.I will say, though, that this standard bottling barely holds a candle to Binny's barrels of the same juice.

G.H.Adams Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Well it's been snowing in my part of New Mexico since Friday afternoon. I have about 9 inches of snow in my front yard and it's expected to snow until Sunday night. Right now the temp is 33 degrees. The high today was 35.I am having a three finger pour of Four Roses 2011 Limited Edition while surfing the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Blacksmith Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 After Santa delivered all the gifts, ate the fruitcake, and smoked the pipe we laid out for him he had a few shots of SW juice:VSOF from the BHC collection,OF 1849, bottled 37 or so years ago.The first was really good, sweet, classic SW profile. The 1849 was a bit more like Weller Centennial with the glue/solvent profile and a little more barrel and bitter.I think Santa had a good time!

clingman71 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Had a small Christmas morning pour of Woodford, my sons bought me a liter for Christmas. Now I'm onto my OWA/Weller 12 vatting. This combination is better with each and every pour. Merry Christmas SBers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Comp Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 A 15 ml pour of PVW 20 during the Christmas morning family gift festivities. Its light and subtle nature (or maybe muted and watery :grin: ) make it the perfect special morning sipper. Now back to coffee with lots of cooking prep to go.

It was very, very yummy and I forgot to mention that it became a ghost of Christmas past in the wee hours this morning....but, I made it last as long as I could. After the wonderful VW rye, it was nice break from the rye 'bite'. It kinda reminded me a bit of a vanilla & cinnamon swirl pound cake. I am more fond of the 4R 'OB' recipes that are heartier on the rye side but the Binny's bottle was definitely a special treat and one I shall miss. I agree 100% - the ryes are also very holidayish to me as well...great winter whiskey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get back home @ 12:25 & find a FedEx notice on front door with a time of 12:14 :hot:The wife tells me she could not get off the pot to answer the door...:shithappens:....all I could do was shake my head and immediately proceed to fix up my flask double-strong for travel to her family's Christmas get together.Oh well, it will be here tomorrow as long as I don't get sent on an errand simultaneously with her morning crap...will have it for New Year's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
