kyrocklover Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Started out with a couple of pours of Wathen's and then moved up in proof to Kirkland Signature(Jim Beam). While not my favorite, I don't understand the hate for the costco bourbon. Damn good value poor in my opinion. 1 liter for $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Dog Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 An old Old Crow white label. 80 proof, 4yr on back label, front states W.A. Gaines Division of Old Crow... The address lists both Frankfort, and Clermont. There's a 90 on the bottom of the bottle.I believe this is the last of the real Old Crow, which means it's right after they corrected the recipe, according to what Chuck wrote in his book. It sure tastes "corrected" to me!:grin: :grin: Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunk Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Finished off my first Rowan's Creek bottle last night. I will definitely be buying more of those. Love Noah's Mill too. Tonight its Four Roses small batch. Definitely fits the mellow mood label. I hope to shake Jim Rutledge's hand some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Had my first taste of Temptation bourbon last night. Lots of flavor but lacked a bit of punch. Reminded me some of Four Roses, which I guess is not too surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Lamplighter Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Last nite I finally found some Weller 12 and put it in the mixer with OWA....very good combo. The slight 107 heat came thru on the front end with the smooth 90 on the finish. Wonder what we ought to call this discovery...Weller 1207....Antique 907...???

Vosgar Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I had a couple of friends over last night who wanted to see what bourbon is all about, being mainly beer and occasional JD drinkers. Not having a clue what they might like, we started off with some 80's OT, then on to Weller 12, Weller Centennial, Col. E.H. Taylor sour mash, ER 101, RR 101, Pappy 15, and FR 100th. Somewhere in the middle of those we had dinner and some AE. Both of them passed on trying the 09 GTS. The Centennial was their favorite with Pappy coming in second.Everyone had a good time and I finished off the night with a nice pour of VWFRR.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcheer Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 This evening, I was reading before dinner and had a straight pour from a new bottle of WT 101. It has that great WT flavor, but it is harsher and not as rich as I remember it.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Dog Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Mellow Corn. Stuff goes down so easily it's almost criminal at 100 proof. The more I drink HH labels the more I like B-F! Think I'll pick up some Signature at the next opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershmeister Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 And? How is it? I have a bottle that I'm opening for New Years.Tonight I had the last of my initial OWA - Weller 12 vatting.As with my other willet experiences, The 17 has a lot of fruit flavors - apricot perhaps is the best one I can come up with. The 17 seems to have a bit more rye in it than the 19, which makes for a nice burn/spice, but it dissapears quickly and you're left with a nice aftertaste.PS: it seemed to taste better this week vs last week when I opened the bottle. Whether that was based on what I had to eat or just getting a little oxygen in the bottle, I'm not sure. Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 I had a little PVW 20 this morning.Got a good review yesterday so decided to have something that I haven't had in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Getting ready to head out for the night's Festivities, and sipping on a 4 Roses Small Batch. Really wonderful. I have given the Sm B short shrift over the years, while extolling the virtues of the Single Barrel. I am going to have to flip-flop on this one. I am enjoying this Sm B more than the last couple of bottles of Single Barrel. It's more rounded. More going on. Thicker. 2012 is going to be my 4RSmB year, I think!

clingman71 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Happy New Year 2012 everyone!I began with a small pour of John L Sullivan, then a little Woodford, now it is the SB prescribed OWA/Weller 12 vatting. I have a mini 1.7 fl oz Louisville Old W.L.Weller Special Reserve for tonight and a TPS Willett barrel 14a 17 year wheater to open for midnight.
