Special Reserve Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Well not yet spring. There is a new phenomena now know as tornadoes in winter. How is that anyhow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fpst Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'd say its spring here in Colorado too. Mid seventies for the past couple of weeks. Things are starting to turn green. I guess this globe is warming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor22 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 The thermometer read 91 on the back porch yesterday. Spring is over and Summer is here.Last night was a lovely evening and my friends and I shared some Taylor Tornado, Pappy 15, Michter's 10yr sb, and finished with a pour of 4R LE 2011. On this night, surprisingly we preferred the Tornado and the Michter's to the Pappy by a little and the 4R was least favored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clingman71 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Strange how some nights your palate is just off. Poured a small pour each of Kahn's EC12 and SB Blend. The nose of the EC was spice, with cherry lingering in the background. A second, deeper nosing reveals more of the fruit with eucalytus and mint now as well. I'm not picking up any vanilla, caramel, or wood on the nose. Then I taste and am overwhelmed with wood, too much wood. Strange, I've never felt of EC12 as being too woody, just my palate tonight.Then on to the SB Blend. Still getting cherry on the nose, but not as pronounced as with the EC. Again, a strange lack of vanilla, brown sugar, etc. I drink it and am happy to not have the crazy wood like the EC, but it is still just "off". I had a small pour of this earlier this week and it was a beautiful combination of sweet brown sugar and spice, cherry/dark fruit-but less than tonight, adding to the complexity vs dominating, rich mouthfeel with a nice long finish, balance of bold flavor and smoothness of age, just right. Hard to explain, they both just taste different than they usually do, and neither for the better. Drinking Irish tomorrow, hopefully Sunday will bring with it a refreshed bourbon palate.

Sounds like any expensive (and wonderful) night! :bigeyes: Is this thread about the weather, or bourbon? Both! They go hand in hand. Anytime you've got weather, its a good time for bourbon. :cool: In honor of Justified, I am having Elmer T Lee. YES! Justified! Best show on TV at the moment? (I thought it was interesting last week when the band in the beginning was singing about Jack + Coke when its set in Kentucky... I haven't spent much time in either state but I assumed their was a great deal of pride about their respective whiskeys) Oh, and tonight I'm enjoying the last of my 1792. Good stuff.

SirBlend12 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Last night, while enjoying the lovely 60-something degrees it was in the Cleveland area, I poured some Glenlivet 12 and followed it with WT 101 (Oh, the joys of being a college student with little $). It's interesting to see how one pour can affect your palate for anything that follows it. I've had plenty of Turkey in my time, but I noticed things about it last night that I never have before.

Ejmharris Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Great cookout with neighbors tonight. He likes the dark side stuff but has to mix bourbon normally. Poured him a SB Vat, Taylor Tornado and Ritt BIB all neat. Now I need to lock cabinets when he comes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
