Finishing up on a really...weird...day, with a stiff pour of OGD 114. Dang, is this fine, fine, whiskey. I find it inexplicable as to why Beam sells such a nicely aged, barrel proof, beautifully packaged, lip-smackingly delicious bourbon, at such an outrageously low price...They must really love us...and, I ain't complaining. :D

Ya know, Beam takes a lot of crap on these boards. But, when I sit down and think about it, they do a heck of a lot of things "right", by us.

So true, Joe. I always have a bottle of OGD114 on hand and it seems to be very popular with all of my friends when they visit. We absolutely fly through the stuff and nobody can believe the price when I tell them what I paid for it. Amazingly good value, that's for sure!

:lol: Nice! We've all been there, brother. But, as you probably know, she has parked your transgression away for payback at another time. Them females is sneaky. You know you're going to pay her off eventually! :D So, celebrate hard now, on your nice haul!

I've been banished upstairs, since Mrssmokinjoe has the girlfriends over for a Holiday drunkfest. Watching SNL Christmas on TV (BTW, if you got nuthin' to do, turn it on as it's hilarious!), and ripping through the bunker. B&B OWA is shining, tonight. The New Holland Beer Barrel continues to impress, as well.

Couldn't agree more. Maybe it's a gift like EC18 from HH.

I've had my eye on this at Astor, may have to pick it up. Wanted to see some feedback before making the purchase though, and it seems to be positive so far.

On topic, started out with some OGD 114 tonight, and then moved on to V17. Both great in their own way. Took out the PHC 2012 devil's batch bottle, but that may be pushing it.

Qualifier...

I don't mean to overstate the New Holland. I do like it. But, I judge my postitive impression with it is based on a comparison to the Harrison Bourbon (another LDI bourbon). It is definitely better than that. Much better. But, it ain't cheap at $35. So, YMMV. Regardless, it is solid, tasty, and worthy additon to my rotation.

Started by sharing a few good pours of PVW 20 with my neighbors, then moved to VWFRR and am now enjoying a healthy pour of Weller 12...also eyeing up HW 16, that would be a nice cap to the wheater/rye evening

A nice pour of Buffalo Trace.... I skip past this bottle too often (and shouldn't). This is a solid bourbon at a reasonable price.

AAA 10, then onto baby Saz, then finishing with Yamazaki. Gotta love the AAA at that price.

Sounds like trouble. If you need any help with crowd control, I can be there in about 30 minutes.

Gentlemen, I stand here before you a man about to await his bride in the morning.

At the rehearsal dinner this evening, I had a Bookers and emptied the remainder of a Larceny while I packed for the honeymoon. The next time I address you all, I will be a married man.

Congratulations on your big day! I will drink a toast to you and your bride. I was 46 when I got married I was so nervous I thought I was going to pass out. My blood presure was so high my face was beet red.

You're in a rut, sir. You need to break it up with another selection. ;)

But, you've given me a good idea. A little nip of OGD BIB before heading out to put up the Christmas decorations! :D

Officially a married man. Bride was beautiful, and the bourbon bar was a hit. 4RSB, EWEB2002, ETL, and Ezra Brooks 12. 4RSB took top honors amount the guests followed by ETL. Off to Vegas with the bride. Thanks for the well wishes. If I get time I'll try to post up when we hit the new bourbon bar in the Venetian.
