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?

Barrel 18 is 101 proof and change. I like both the '12 LE SmB and the series of 16/17 year old gift shop barrels, but I completely agree with your assessment.

I'm fighting a head cold, so it's been OGD 114 for me for the last few days. Best cough medicine money can buy-- and it opens up my sinuses better than any OTC decongestant. Doesn't hurt that it tastes great, too.

Maybe a little hot tea with it and wrap up in a bunch of blankets Get that bourbon and tea working together along with sweating do that cold right out.

GTS while winding down for the evening. Made my cranberry relish, prepped my sweet taters, got my turkey in the brine and am now enjoying a fine KY refreshment.

A small pour of Cheesy Gold Labeled WT12. Such wonderfully controlled spice and with hints of sweetness.

A very nice way the start a Thanksgiving Day morning.

Bravo, I have to drive a few hours this morning before partaking in that Blanton's. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

No theme, rhyme or reason, but over the course of this turkey day had some Larceny, Redbreast CS, Four Roses 17 yo, and 2012 GTS, along with a few different wet-hopped beers. And of course too much food. Hope that everyone had a good day!

ORVW 10/107

Jefferson's small batch

And dabbling with the dark side

Yamazaki 12

Glenmornagie 12

I have come to the conclusion that Yamazaki is possibly the only bottle I will ever dump.. I just can't bring myself to ever finish a taste of it.. Hopefully my neighbor won't notice that I left it at his house

Don't dump that Yamazaki! I'm sure someone will lady take it off of your hands.

I would never dump a bottle, I just really can't find anything appealing about it..

All the discussion of AE cask strength got me to bring out the regular old unleaded AE this evening for another taste. Not available in my state as far as I know but got a bottle as a gift from a friend who travels down from Cincinnati on a regular basis and drinking a gift bottle is just that much nicer!
