What bourbon are you drinking? Winter 12/13

[portugieser]

Thomas Handy '12, and some Larceny. Both are fun sippers.

Enjoying a bit of THH and PHC 2012 with a big cube

[OutlawSW]

Per the Jimmy Russell interview, 101, after that ETL now 114.

Trying out the V17. A very tasty old wheater. Fantastic nose and lots of butterscotch and vanilla. I've got the itch to go grab one or two more for the bunker.

Abraham Bowman "Gift Shop" 138.6 prf. This one continues to impress as a flavor bomb without heat. Just wow!

[BFerguson]

nothing too excited for the past week, been spending time with a last years EWSB.

I'd call it uncomplicated, but wonderfully simple. this particular bottle is just hitting a point to be where I want just want something good, and inexpensive to pour.

And by the 1/4 bottle left, it has done that just fine.

Now I just need to go back to the store and get some more, i think they have the rest of the same barrel of this one.

Had the last pour of a bottle of Weller 12 last night. Followed it with a glass of ETL.

I've been making cocktails with Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao, it is really delightful stuff. Certainly sweet, but not sickeningly so. I've been putting it in about 4:1, usually with a BIB, but tonight with AAA, which made it quite sweet. I also added a drip of Jerry Thomas Bitters, which added a little... well, bitter flavor.

Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this Curacao: it's worthing having on your bar.

Barton based cocktail with lunch. Why Barton you ask? Well, it's Saturday.

Vatting (3:1) of 4RSB OESO & Willett 5yr Rye in my flask for my MTB ride

Vatting 50/50 of ORVW 107 with some older OWA 7 year 107 while welcoming my Red Wings back. Awesome.

PHC Cognac,this is a bottle I go back and forth about how I feel about it.I think it's the weakest showing of the line and definitely a "mood" pour,but tonight it's pretty damn nice.

"Mood pour". That's why it's nice and advantageous to have multiple bottles opened and ready at the pour. We never know what might hit the wheelhouse on any given night. Always good to "pollinate" the shelf for that special pour.

Currently working on VW Lot 'B' to start the Bourbon side of the evening.

[kyrocklover]

Knob Creek Single Barrel this evening. A powerful pour to cap off a long day.

[smokinjoe]

A healthy pour of Mc Scrooge's Private Selection of 7 yr OWA paper label. Massive chocolate covered cherries. Just a spectacular whiskey. I've sampled probably 15+ different private selections of OWA over the years, and all have been wonderful. But, none match the...lusciousness of this barrel. And it's not easy for me to say that, as BT is pumping out terrific wheated whiskey for this brand. They're ALL honey barrels, it seems! :bowdown:

[icehocey77]

Started with some Lot B and now on some OWA 107.

[michaelturtle1]

A friend and I are doing our best to find the bottom of an 80 proof ND Old Taylor

[Mikede1285]

Started off with the SB OWA/12 blend. Now it's on too some OWA old fashioneds made with some maple sugar I got from a friend whose family runs a maple farm. Definitely adds a nice element.

[savagehenry]

It's Championship Sunday funday, so full speed ahead with PVW 23.

[theglobalguy]

Watching day old Hockey on Xbox, and sampling CEHT Small Batch. Really opened up after a few weeks.

[squire]

Barton Manhattan with lunch.

[WAINWRIGHT]

Old school today,VG 90"The Fox" honestly not that great!
