deathevocation Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I love that Silver Select. Sorry to hear about the cold. OGD114 is a good remedy, though. But, if you have a rye available, particularly a strong rye, I find that helps when I have a cold. THHandy would be my prescription. A couple of Guinnesses on draught and a couple of Maker's Mark for me last night. Cold has settled down a little - Evan Williams SB 2000 tonight. Got another bottle of Silver Select today, readily available duty free here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 A friend stopped by after dinner to watch the basketball game and we turned our attention to Wild Turkey. After a pour or two earlier in the day of Rare Breed, I pulled out the CGF and opened a bottle of pewter-topped Kentucky Spirit. Both were superb and epitomize the very qualities of what draws me to great bourbon--rich, sweet, woody nectar. Heaven in a glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutton Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Had some Weller 12 last night - bottle is about 50% gone, and it is now much more well rounded, less heat, still with a cinnamon/spice component but less of the "red-hots" cinnamon than when first opened.

I found it delicious and well worth a try, even if you only want to sample a single glass to see what it does to the flavor profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it delicious and well worth a try, even if you only want to sample a single glass to see what it does to the flavor profile.I haven't had an OWA to vat with it, but I have been thinking about going over to Julio's to see if they had any of their bottling left to try this out.That said, I actually prefer the Weller 12 as it is now then when I first opened it. But this 1:1 vatting does pique my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy both on their own but together they make a perfect pour, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOWK Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I've been drinking mostly mid-shelf bottles lately as I have been in a drinking mood which usually results in 2/3 of a bottle disappearing daily. Tonight, I'll take it easy and have a few pours of the numerous Willett's that I have open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pity you!Well, I too watched the sad breakdown of the Maroon juggernaut and while my Wild Turkey 101 might be considered pedestrian by some, the Wild Turkey Tradition I bought about four weeks ago from the distillery door was not! Definitely benefitted from a little water; but was otherwise an interesting and thought-provoking expression. Decidedly a Wild Turkey man after my run around the Bourbon Trail!George T Stagg sampling at Chapeze House, Bardstown, was a winner too!:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfish Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 What is so rare as a day in June!Worked in the rose garden yesterday afternoon. Took a break on the swing hung in our vine-covered pergola with a nice pour of Bulleit Rye. Clear blue sky, 76 degrees. (Rare, indeed, in NW Ohio.) Meanwhile, the chicadees, titmice, nuthatches, and gold finches visited the bird feeders in the garden about 20 feet away. Chicadees are people friendly and came to open sunflower seeds on the pergola, directly over my head. Feeling quite contented, I decided this was a good time to finish that handle of WT101. A great day got even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pity you!LOL.. now thats pretty funny. A bit of advice.. if you were drinking those private offerings most were at 80 proof already... we like them to be easy drinkers with a bit of ice or with a dash of Fresca...Few folks know that back in 2008 a few of us bought 50 barrels of an undisclosed 4 YO bourbon made by big "B" and tanked it all.... each year we draw off some, take it to 80 proof or if we are feelin flush 90 proof and put it in a fancy bottle with pretty wax on it. Sometimes we even put animals on the label. We learned this from the big boys at BT...... it gets better with each year in that steel tank. We like it chill filtered as it gets a lot of the floaties out when we drink outside in the winter. We just sent a few re-barrels we did to Canada so we could have our own Canadian whiskey... calling it "Ay Hectic". It is slated to be hauled around Ontario on a dog sled for 18 months.... then we will have an Imported private bottling. Appreciate you mentioning good whiskey when you drink it..Cheers!!!!PS... the Paws and Claws was not "Super Duper"... It is actually "Scubby Doo Secret".... animal theme you know....
