What Bourbon Are You Enjoying, Winter 2011/2012

[jfw]

Started with a EWSB 99 that I had open.

Moved to a PVW 15 (2009)

Then finished off a PHC Golden Anniversary. Why are the Parker's so good and the other stuff from HH so mediocre? I'm partial to the wheated and the golden anniversary but all of them are good.

I'm "celebrating" the arrival of the in-laws with a pour of BH.

Very funny. But what do you drink when you're not "celebrating?"

You might better go with Bookers or GTStagg. :lol:

Some Willett 18 yr. tonight.

My Devils lost, I have no need to be up too early tomorrow, and I need something to stand up to a good Maduro... Seems like a KCSB night to me.

Some Willett 18 yr. tonight.

How is the Willett 18 year? I've seen that locally, but the price has been so out of line that I haven't even considered it. I can pretty much get 3 bottles of Stagg (also 18 year) for the same price. Albeit Stagg is not readily available, either is this one. The Willetts in my area have generally been priced above the rest of the country. I guess my real question is, is there something special about this whiskey to justify the incredible price tag?

I got engaged tonight. We've known we were getting married for awhile, but tonight was the official bended knee giving of the ring. In the midst of the celebrating, I purchased two Single Oaks, #8 & # 167. One rye, one wheat, both fantastic. I have a feeling that the whiskey will be flowing freely this weekend.

Congratulations clingman! I hope you and your fiance have a memorable weekend.

Congrats! Enjoy your engagement weekend, and let us know when you set the big date!

Congratulations or Condolences... Depending on the point of view. I'd build the bunker up now, while you still can.

A few 5 AM pours

FRLE 2011

PVW 20

PVW 15

Oh what a wonderful morning!

Fortunately they were short pours.

Had dinner at my uncle's house last night. He's not a bourbon drinker but is given bottles of booze all the time by friends and client, which he never drinks. A bottle of Wild Turkey 12 yo with a split label caught my eye. First time I've had that . . . it was great.

So, is this an import? I've done enough searching this morning to determine it's not something I can go buy at my neighborhood liquor store, but I'm wondering where he got it (he doesn't remember).

[hectic1]

How much are you guys paying for Willett 18's off the shelf?

[DaveOfAtl]

You'll know what to ask for when your visiting your friend.

[bad_scientist]

How much are you guys paying for Willett 18's off the shelf?

[hectic1]

As low as $115 and as high as $200, often within a few block radius.

[bad_scientist]

Wow...no wonder I read some of the posts I do about it!

[CrispyCritter]

Poured some '06 Saz 18 into my glass tonight... this bottle's running low too. I think I'll follow up with OGD BIB.

[hectic1]

I'm assuming, then, that the price per bottle when you do a barrel purchase is a lot less?

You could say that I guess but there are other factors at play as well.

A pour of BT after another great win by the Colorado Avalanche. Was so nice to see them finally take it hard to Detroit.

Alternating ORVW 10/107 and OF BIB 1981 tonight. Both are super.
