smokinjoe Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Just returned from dinner out, and am now sipping on the B&B SB OWA. This puppy continues to blow me away. Fantastic whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrel800 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Had some friends over to try a recipe out of the new wine spectator. Had a nice Manhatten with Ritt BIB prior to dinner. Used the whiskey barrel aged bitters to make it, they're fantastic. A nice Cotes Du Rhone with dinner. Then enjoyed the last of the tornado, some ETL, and opened the EH Barrel Proof. First impression, very sweet up front, hot, limited finish. Good, not great.Overall, great night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Blacksmith Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 really enjoyed some OWA last night, which is slightly unusual for me. Makes me more excited to pop some of my single barrel selections now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Great. But did you remember to bring the straw? No straw involved (although was glad to have glasses in the hotel room rather than using the in-room coffee mugs at some other places!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 No straw involved (although was glad to have glasses in the hotel room rather than using the in-room coffee mugs at some other places!) Funny, but my uncle Walt used to always drink his Irish whiskey out of a coffee mug, as if he was fooling my aunt somehow by doing so. Even as a kid I was able to figure out that such a large delivery vessel was not conducive to staying sober, but to old Walt it might as well have been a thimble.

jeanraulmitchell Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Just returned from dinner out, and am now sipping on the B&B SB OWA. This puppy continues to blow me away. Fantastic whiskey.Last night, I was drinking a glass of OWA 7yr age statement that came from a liter bottle I opened months ago. There is maybe an inch left in the bottle and it really is great. The B&B is an 8yo. I can't wait to grab a few of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAtomic Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The B&B is an 8yo.Just curious, does "B&B" refer to a store? I've seen it pop up in a few recent threads and it doesn't ring a bell for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronWF Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Last night I opened up a bottle of OFBday from 2008 and really enjoyed it. Lots of succulent fruit, oaky vanilla and an aura of dill that brings a very interesting signature to it. I look forward to getting back into it later tonight. I think I left a bottle or two on a shelf somewhere for around $30; gotta go looking for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclebunk Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Downed the better part of a bottle of Ancient Age BIB with a few friends Sunday night and put the rest away yesterday while grilling some porkchops. Such fine whiskey, it's a shame that they no longer make it. Sure am glad to have one more bottle in the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I had my first taste of a bottle of FR 2009 Mariage. It was outstanding! Incredibly smooth and flavorfulExcellent! I just had the same experience myself, as I bought two bottles of the 2009 Mariage around mid-summer and just now had an occasion to crack open one of the bottles. Last night, we hosted a dinner party for two friends who were married last Sunday. In some Jewish traditions (more often among the orthodox), the bride and groom travel around to dinners hosted at friends' houses during their first week of marriage, so that people who weren't able to be invited to the wedding can attend what might be thought of as an additional mini-wedding. The blessings that unite the bride and groom are repeated at the end of grace after meals, and there is much merriment and rejoicing all the way through.I only had a small before-dinner pour, while serving up some of my some interesting whiskies, as I was serving as waiter, bartender, toastmaster and assistant cook. Dropping china or spilling wine on the guests wouldn't go over well. We had ten guests, of whom four were whiskey drinkers. The whiskey menu:Connemara Peated Irish Whiskey -- the groom had a pour of this, as he's really into peatMichel Couvreur Special Vatting scotch whiskey -- the bride had a pour of this, as she loves sherried scotch and no peat at allVWLotB -- two friends had never tried it before, and loved itFR 2009 Mariage -- in addition to my own glass, a pour for a bourbon-enthusiast friend who really, really loved itAll that I can report, at least until I've had a chance to taste the Mariage again under slightly calmer and quieter circumstances, is that this is very, very good whiskey!

GaryT Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Enjoying a bit of PVW20. Wish I enjoyed this as much as I hoped I would, but just not my target flavor profile apparently. On the bright side, think I found what I can bring to the gazebo where it will be better loved :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
