Weller 12yr tonight. Shockingly good from a freshly opened bottle. Usually need a good couple of weeks to work up to the level that it is at now.

But I'm not complaining.

Having some VOB BIB purchased from Binny's about a month ago. Gotta tell ya, tasting a bit one-note and dull at the moment.

After a long, hot, but for the most part decent day at work, I'm sipping on some 07 ER17 given to me by "The Voshole". Not bad. Not bad at all. :yum:

Cracked a bottle of the TPS JJB barrel 45 a week ago. Having a pour right now, neat of course. Smokey, woody, and sweet. I'm digging it.

This must be Abraham's little brother at only 100 proof, but that's ok, since 100-110 proof seems to be my sweet spot.

4RSB LE 2012, this is OESK 12 years. Quite honestly, decent but I can't see what is much different from the regular 4RSB which comes about $30.00 cheaper.

Next time, I'll buy regular 4RSB and a bottle of ETL for my $75.00.

KCSB, Loch&Key selection w/ a good splash of water - probably drinking around 90 pf - even so, still a very concentrated, sweet pour.

Trying to use EC12 to sooth acid reflux. It thus far is proving ineffective.

Doing a side-by-side with Weller 12 and Lot B for the first time. I have only recently been able to get the Weller 12, which just hit Georgia recently. Until tonight, I was starting to think there was very little difference between the two when drinking the Weller 12 by itself. Now, tasting them side by side, there is definitely a lot of similarity, but the Weller 12 has a lot more oak and the Lot B has a ton more caramel/butterscotch. I guess this just shows how much barrel selection matters ... And how useful a side-by-side is.

Try mixing it with Pepto for a whiskey shit. Yup, just writing that makes me cringe.

I had a pour of Michter's 10yo 1B bourbon. Some nice notes, but they're far away in the background, unfortunately. The wood is tamed until it stops short the finish in its tracks.

ETL, bought recently in Maysville. Excellent, sweet, rich, clean, better than the last import I bought here in Ontario for some reason.

Reading it isn't much better.

Not my favorite as is, out of the bottle. Took a little effort to get this one to a place I liked it.

Spent the day with my 4 nieces and nephews. Had to toast the day off with a 17 year Rutledge selected 4 roses and a little weller centennial Louisville. May finish with a vintage 17. Ohh yes, it's a good day

I too had some Vintage 17. After drinking beers all night at a Homebrew Club meeting it was nice to have something that I didn't have to think and comment on but just enjoy.

I also had a pour of Elijah Craig 12 that has been open for about 6 months. The nose is still hot it's still burns a little bit going down, but the after taste is very creamy and warm.

Some SB Blend. My first batch and I think the 1:1 is not gonna work for me. I might add some more Weller 12 and see how that goes.
