hectic1 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 While on the funny scale BarrelChar got an Outstanding, you however get a Fail.As for the topic, I am enjoying some Twisted Spoke, Weller 19 and a little ambrosia itself: Old Rip VW 12 year Old Time Rye.

Lazer Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I just peeled open the dripping red wax seal of a bottle of MM. First pour tastes like a first pour. We'll see how it develops. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarnv Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 update: That first four opened up nicely with some time in the glass. The second pour didn't need much time. Thumbs up for MM. :cool:These folks make good whiskey.... I prefer the 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocoins Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 A pour of MM tonight. It was all the bar had, and I asked for it in a lowball. It arrived in a glencairn. Perhaps it was the particular batch or the glass, but it tasted very very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Wheater night: ORVW 107 (fall 2011 purchase) and 2011 WLW (brought to 107) with small tastes of WSR from DSP 16 and a recent OWA single barrel thrown into the mix. The ORVW 107 is my top dog tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoMobourbon Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Had a great night, enjoying the following diluted down to 80 proof while watching my beloved Queensland Maroons play Rugby on FoxSports:Red Stag Black Cherry (1789b Selection, Barrel #420, signed by Fred Noe)Rebel Yell (Reid & Emerald XXI, fuchsia wax top)Jim Beam Black (Paws & Claws "Super-Duper Secret" Private Bottling) Yukon Jack (Gift Shop Edition, 1 of 4 Bottles ever produced)Woodford Reserve Quadruple Oaked (Dug'z & Willyz, Decanter made of cubic zirconia-encrusted Gorilla Glass)I'm assuming the rest of you had some pedestrian whiskeys available at mass market. I pity you!I am really glad I went back far enough to read this post. You are often really good at voicing the annoyance/skepticism/jealously that I get on this site, which is dominated by people way richer and way more dedicated than I. Nicely done. As for myself, it's been a rotation of some OGD 114 and a 1.75L EWB for weeks now. I have become hardcore enough to realize that EWB, while totally solid and drinkable, is not really THAT good compared to some of the other widely available whiskey's I've had.

Well it's a bad attitude to have but at least you admit it. You ought to check out a wine board someday if you want to be annoyed, sceptical or jealous...but Mr. Parker charges for his unlike Mr. Butler. And many of us are dedicated enough to spend a lot money to meet in person and share our treasures with one another too...which as they say is priceless.

BourbonJoe Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Fricky and I got togetheryesterday to drink some bourbon. We had Very Old Fitzgerald barreled in 1951; A.H.Hirsch 16 yr, Gold Foil; Old Fitzgeral BIB, barreled in 1967; Very Old Barton, 12 yr, 90 proof; and a J W Dant 8 yr, 86 proof from 1968. Good bourbon with a good friend.Joe :usflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavius Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just drinking one of my favorites, ORVW 10/107. I bought 2 bottles with the intention of hanging on to one for awhile. Of course, I said that about the PVW 15's I had... and the Weller 12's... and the PVW 20. Oh well. The stuff is made to be drunk and that's the part I'm good at!

Clavius Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I have now moved on from Old Rip to Vintage 17. Going to be a good night I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Haven't decided what to drink yet and it's getting late!7 down already my friend: Bowman Rye Party Source 134.6 proof, Baby Saz, OGD ND 86 proof, ODD BIB '79-'87 and Bowman Bourbon SB 100 proof 14 year. Mid afternoon I also tasted off a recent Weller 12 versus the infamous Binny's Weller 12 that was really Bernheim 14. Had some white wine with homeade Shrimp Scampi for dinner too.

Josh Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Had some great sips and even better convo tonight with mosugoji64 and Mrs. mosugoji64 in honor of her birthday. Tonight it was Cork & Bottle bottles. ETL #18 vs. ETL #19 and then OWA #54. Some better than others but all good and a great time. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And many of us are dedicated enough to spend a lot money to meet in person and share our treasures with one another too...which as they say is priceless.To be clear, I think I have a pretty healthy jealousy. In fact, I think jealousy is the best confirmation of shared values and goals - so that well-managed jealousy is usually inseparable from admiration. And to re-phrase the great American middle-class narrative, someday, when I am older, I will have finished paying my dues in the form of education and entry level work and will have 'made it' with enough disposable income so that I too can blow tons of money on brown liquid.

Flyfish Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 It seems to me that there are only two logical choices for Father's Day: Pappy and OGD. (Help me out if I forgot somebody.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Getting married in Savannah? Beautiful city. Great place for a wedding.

Where have you been!?!? Since I am a Pappy, I'm going with a pour of the SB.Com/KBS Barrel "C" private barrel of Pappy 23 for this Father's Day. :toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 All 3 of my kids should be home shortly and I'm going to pour some Rock Hill Farms. And grill a beef tenderloin. Maybe I'll follow with some Pappy, just to confirm the fathers day link.Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
