LongBeachScott Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Watching Illinois at home against Nebraska on the DVR. Not happy with it. Having some OGD 114. Much happier with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkersback Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I had a KB1B in a restaurant last night. I liked it better than the first time I tried it. Dark brown sugar, a fair amount of wood. It's pretty solid, and was pretty drinkable for being 120proof (though with a nice, burning finish). I'd buy it in a bar again depending on where I'm at and what's available, but probably not for home. At $40 plus tax, I'm probably more inclined to something like 4R1B (and saving $5). Or if I really want a Beam product, I'd go Baker's (and, again, save $5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohidied Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I've got a pour of WTRB 01-91 and I am loving it. I opened the bottle on Thanksgiving and broke the cork, so I'd been reluctant to pull the 2nd cork out until I bought an Ah-So just in case. Didn't need it though, the cork came out nicely.

angler82 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Opened up a bottle of Parker's Heritage Cognac finished. It is great whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Opened up a bottle of Parker's Heritage Cognac finished. It is great whiskey.I very much agree!I am enjoying some Heaven Hill White Label BiB on the rocks, inspired by the Best Bourbon on the rocks thread. This is definately one of them!

AaronWF Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Opened up a bottle of Parker's Heritage Cognac finished. It is great whiskey.I very much agree!There is a suspiciously addictive quality to that cognac finished PHC... I feel like it's quite a bit better than it should be, somehow.I revisited some PVW15 from the recent allocation. It's been open for over a month now, and I am definitely finding more to love than the last time I brought it out.I'm kind of obsessed with the FRLESmB '11. I am getting the most divine sweet notes of fruity caramelized honey. Winnie the Pooh is one lucky bear if this is how regular old honey tastes to him, and I'd gladly brave a hive of wasps for the stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 2011 single barrel, but the SmB 2011 is really something else, honey is a nice description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFerguson Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I haven't tried any of last year's barrel-finished bourbons, as the concept sounds very trendy, but all of these positive reviews have me craving the Cognac finish. Fortunately, I know a store whose owner told me, "Don't worry about the Parkers disappearing, they're not very popular here." I like it when I can take my sweet ass time.

irongambit Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I started tonight by cracking open the Blanton's Gold that my buddy brought me from Tokyo, followed by a nice pour of Vintage Bourbon 17...feeling fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFerguson Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Nearing the end of the bottle of Weller 12yr. Been a very enjoyable bottle. Going to be bummed when it goes, not going to get a replacement for it any time soon. Been some recent talk of this compared to Lot B. While the Weller has been nice, in my experience, it's no Lot B. I can see the family resemblance, but more like a first cousin than brother. I haven't had this years release, but I loved the black cherry bomb that was in last years bottling.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunk Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the Bulleit Rye I just bought, but it made a nice old fashioned last night. Chased it with some OWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohidied Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm actually enjoying some 2009 WLW. I say actually because this is pour is usually a challenge. There is an astringency that coats my tongue and prevents me from really enjoying it. But now I have designated this my "still have chinese food flavors in my mouth" bourbon until it's gone.
