What bourbon are you drinking today? Autumn '12

[ratcheer]

Today I had a shot of Rock Hill Farms while watching the SEC Championship game. It is still my top favorite.

small pours of Black Maple Hill and John Bowman

With all this talk of Weller 12 vs Lot B I headed to NYC to grab a Weller 12, so as soon as I got back home I tried both side by side and blindly gave my wife both. She picked the Lot B and while I liked The Weller just fine, the Lot B was still my favorite.. I will try again in a few weeks when the Weller has had time to breathe and do another blind sampling

That Bowman rye is one of my favorites as well. Like you, I have been nursing that puppy for a long time. Very sad day when it's empty.

Fortunately, I'm pretty sure you have some more in the bunker and I'm going to count on you to continue to have a bottle open at all times for me to drink from when I come over so that I never have to open up any of mine :grin:

PVW 12 and EC 20. The bar had PVW 23, but it was too pricey for me. First time having EC 20. I thought it was almost as good as PVW 20 and 23. Curious what others think about EC 20.

[Special Reserve]

A little PHC10 as I type, I'm thinking PVW15 or Lot B later this morning.

Started with some Larceny, now having 4RSmB LE 2012, later maybe some KC 1B.

Okay, it's a deal.

I do have a few extras. The weird thing is with the open bottle, it's very accessible, but I never reach for it. Same with the open Handy. Must be my OWA and FR kick of late.

Weller SR, Maker's, and now on to some EWSB 99. Made a trade for a recently found bottle of the 99, I really like it. A little more meat than the 2000 I have, with a great cedar cigar box like finish to it that is really nice. I've only tried the 99, 00, 01, and 02. I really enjoy the 02 but the 99 is very close.

Well as much as I love the Bowman and a few other ryes I need to be in the mood for rye whiskey in particular. And when I have the selection of Four Roses that we have available to us I tend to just gravitate towards those bottles. They're my go-to bourbons unless I'm looking for something else specifically.

Fantastic pour

Mid-50's in December in Wisconsin?!? BBQing a ton of chicken thighs while knocking' down 4RSmB.

[WAINWRIGHT]

I can't believe the weather as well, did a little grilling myself as it was 60 degrees today while knocking back some CEHT Tornado.FWIW it is supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow here in N.Illinois I can't believe this December weather.

[BAO]

Drinking everything tonight. My NIU Huskies are likely Orange Bowl bound!

It is a great pour. If was their usual barrel strength AB1B, they would have sold out the first day.

But since it's JJB at 100 proof, they still have tons left.

Yeah I have been surprised at how slow it seems to be moving, which is great news for someone like me in CA. I think TPS can drop the 3 bottle max order.

First time with Elmer T. Lee. Mmmm.... me like.

I predict you will be spending plenty of quality time with Mr Lee

4RsB 2012 followed by some WT101 while watching the Lions loose another one.

Was cleaning out the buffet and found a half-full bottle of Vintage 17 that I'd assumed had taken legs after a party a few months back. No idea who decided that was a good place for it, but, after a rough weekend, it's hitting the spot.

[Bourserker]

Drinking Booker's for the first time. A little of batch C04-A-28. Not sure what I think of this yet. It's the first pour out of the bottle so I'm sure the next pour will taste different.

[bigtoys]

cocktail hour. vW Rye (almost empty), Gran Marnier Cherry, Averna Amaro bitters, Carpano Antica Formula vermouth, big round ice cube, a couple of Luxardo cherries. not bad for a spontaneous attempt.

the vermouth comes in a nice can

[GOCOUGS2002]

Knob Creek while watching two bad teams duke it out.

OWA107. To whoever posted about enjoying this with a single ice cube -- thank you. It tastes totally different after the ice cube, with tons of red fruit and a sweet entry. I wasn't super into this bottle (and it's almost gone), but tonight's pour was great.

[atfree]

I was in a sampling mood tonight. I had small pours of BMH23, VR21, Willett SB 11yr, 2012 WLW, and JPS17.

It has been hard not breaking into one of my VW ryes, but I have WAY too many open bottles right now.
