No kiddin', is that stuff any good?:cool:

I am finishing off the weekend with some Wild Turkey Rare Breed Batch No W-T-02-91.

It's the 2nd release from '91, it's real good.

But if you ever come across the original, W-T-01-91 grab 'em, they tatse like WT12yo.

WTRB is fitting to kick off the T-Day week celebration.

I'll be abstaining until Wed night when I open my 2012 George T Stagg to celebrate the bountiful harvest.

EH Taylor Barrel Proof, at this point, all levels of water haven't helped, but with 2 ice cubes, it becomes enjoyable. Pretty damn enjoyable.

ND OGD86 and ND OGD BiB while doing chores. Prepping for a weeklong trip to West Michigan and there's just so much darn stuff to do... Thanks for helping me out, Granddad!

How do you like the OGD 86? The BIB and 114 represent such great value that I have never bothered to dip farther down into proof range.

tonight, trying lots of different woodford woods.

two days ago, but worth mentioning, McKendric Western Style Whiskey with oak and mesquite woods. Wow. Wish I knew about this before! Really incredible all the way around. Start to long lingering finish. Never had anything quite like it.

BMH SmB and W12. First time having the BMH. The first pour was ok to good and the second was just so so. The W12 still did not disappoint especially when finding it for 20.99

2012 Four Roses Small Batch. Kudos to Jim Rutledge and crew for an outstanding bourbon selection.

Me too. Poured it every time since I got it. I'm not making absolutes but it's certainly complex because it changes every time. I'm going to find another bottle.

Sunday night it was a stiff pour of the 2012 Stagg and I'll tell you this bottle is just opening up great. Was rough at first but with a couple cubes of ice and some open air time it is smooth and just like the Stagg has always been. Last night it was a pour of AAA 10 year while watching some Boardwalk Empire

Did you notice the bottles washing ashore in that episode had CEHT labels?

Brining turkey #1, pickling myself with some CEHT SmB. Meh. Will be moving on to something else, shortly.

I picked up another one of the older, rye heavy Vintage Bourbon 17yr bottles. I didn't care for the first one I had a year ago, but I think my expanded experience with bourbon has led me to appreciate this second bottle more. The sweet entry is satisfying, and the sip coats the inner cheeks with that spicy rye goodness.

Man do I love the many facets of bourbon.

Starting the night with some FRLESmB 2012...while it's good there is something that I find a bit off with it. It's got a slightly bitter note on the finish that I keep getting that I don't love.

Taking a vacation day tomorrow and maybe that's why everything is tasting real real good tonight...even the Saz Jr. that started the evening out. That's been followed by a 4 year Willetts from Liquor World/Toddy's-121 proof-barrel 8848 and then some Binny's Knob Creek SB Reserve-Barrel 153. I think it's time for a wheater next.

Had a pour of a EC12 while cutting up bread for my Thanksgiving Day stuffing. Received a $5 coupon from HH today and will probably use it to buy another bottle of EC12.

I am drinking a healthy pour of this as well. Delicious! I'm not getting the bitter thing on the finish, just pure candied sweetness that lasts. Now my wife tells me I don't detect many bitter elements that she does, so maybe this bitter taste is more of a female thing Bob. :stickpoke:
It could be that you just have an Iron Palate! :D See you in a couple weeks buddy!

Moved onto some FR 17yr GS barrel #18 after that and IMO it's a better bourbon. It had more texture and complexity and less heat...IIRC this was a lower proof barrel though...somewhere in the 106 range. Chris can you confirm seeing as you gave me the sample?

My 17 yo looks like barrel 78 (that can't be right can it?). I suppose it could be a 1 rather than a 7, though. Anyhow, that one is about 112 proof.
