Got my sample of Angels Envy CS earlier in the week, but this is the first chance I've had to sit with it due to holiday craziness. Sampling it by itself tonight. Will go into some head to heads tomorrow.

Black Maple Hill Small Batch

Been conversing with a fellow SBer about Willett, had a craving for Binny's Handpicked Willett 8 year.

Just a little Weller 12 tonight to keep it simple.

Trying to relax a bit, but with a bathroom remodel in full swing, general work craziness, and a new addition to the family any day now, it hasn't been easy.....

Put up the tree and started the egg nog season simultaneously at our house. I have a lot of open bottles that need to be finished off...most of which I was not enamored in terms of standing alone. For starters, we started polishing off about 1/2 of a WTR101, proceeded on to the Corner Creek and finished off the remainder of an OGD BIB. I look forward to continuing this in the weeks ahead.

I tried a pour of Hancock President's Reserve (ordered neat) at Boston's Top of the Hub restaurant when there on Saturday with family for an anniversary dinner.

Ordered as we sat down (and we had a fantastic waitress and service all night, I should add), I tasted sweet vanilla, oak distinctly present but not overpowering, a little fruit, and a nice long finish.

It cost $16 to order (they charge extra for the view from the 52nd floor, I'd say) and I think they measured it out at 1.75 ounces, but it was decent enough for me to consider picking up a bottle if it goes on sale; I seem to remember it's around $45 or so at a local store.

Every time that I try the Hancock's I am pleasantly surprised, but it's hard to find. Be sure to scout around on the pricing. BT lowered the pricing significantly a couple of years ago, form the mid-upper $40's, to upper-$20's. But, several retailers still go with the higher price. It's a good deal at the lower price, IMO.

I opened and am really enjoying a K&L bottling of Four Roses Single Barrel OBSO. I prefer it to this year's FR LE Small Batch, which I also have open, and think it's one of the nicest Four Roses I've tasted. It's just under 12 years old, yet doesn't have the overt woodiness I'd expect. It tastes well-aged, but still has a lot of fruitiness (I pick up some berry and jam flavors in the finish). This is my first experience with the OBSO, so that may also be a function of the yeast.

Starting the cocktail hour with 6 yr 86 proof Barton.

[Phil T]

I mixed it up alittle bit tonight. Started out with some Mellow Corn, and now some OE 7yr.

I had some friends over to play pool a couple nights ago and was able to get them to put their beers down and try some of my bourbon. We had pours of WLW, GTS, Saz 18, JPS18, VOB BiB, FRSB, CEHT BP and probably a few others. We had a great time even though one of my friends broke the cork off in my Saz bottle, I got it removed, no harm no foul.

[Bourbon Boiler]

WTKS with a dark top. How I miss this stuff.

[Cigar Dan]

WL Weller 12. Will follow up with some Rittenhouse Rye.

[GaryT]

Some lovely SB Blend (60 OWA/40 W12) after several days of abstaining thanks to a sore throat. Maybe it is that I haven't had any bourbon in a while, but this tastes remarkable tonight! If I was blindfolded and asked to put a price on this, it'd be $40+ a bottle (when the mix runs somewhere in the $25 range). Great stuff!!

[MyOldKyDram]

Reading the Weller 12 thread got me craving some, well, Weller 12.

[smokinjoe]

Sheeze, I don't even know the appropriate place to put this...So, I'll put it here. High West Campfire in the glass tonight, because I'm looking for something a little different? :bigeyes: Ya think!!?? This whiskey simply makes me laugh. It's so funky, it' lovable. I just howl when I drink it, and wonder where David Perkins is getting his acid, to have thought of such a thang?? It's funkadelic, that's why I love it, and think it's the best thing coming out of HW.

...( I take another sip......)...... :

Dang enjoyable whiskey.

:toast:

[MyOldKyDram]

LOL it's funny because it's true. Weird, wild, wonderful stuff.

Moved on to my favorite to finish off the evening, the Four Roses LE SmB 2012. It's my birthday and was looking to finish the night off strong.

[humchan2k]

High West Rendezvous Rye.....yeah, it ain't bourbon, but whatever.

For my hard earned coin, I think it's the best rye out there consistently under $100.

Spending time with an old friend that has not been around the house lately, EC12.

[petrel800]

Little Larceny and Eggnog, now that we're past thanksgiving I can officially kick off the Christmas season.
