What bourbon are you drinking? Winter 12/13

[savagehenry]

Polishing off the last of my last PVW20. Won't be buying this again. Not really worth the hassle.

[bourbonandbacon]

bookers. not bad for such a widely available barrel proofer. trying to finish off some almost kicked bottles so i can have room in the cabinet for some newly acquired bottles. mission halfway accomplished, now onto the weller12

[bingstein]

First ever full pour of 2012 FRLE SmB... Whoa. Really upset I wasted so much time and effort (and money, of course) getting caught up in the PVW craze this fall and overlooked this selection. Won't make that mistake next year.

[MyOldKyDram]

Aww come on please make that mistake one more year?!

Don't need any more competition in this city. :smiley_acbt: :grin:

[bingstein]

Agreed but Pappy season will send everyone off the scent of the other stuff. My other mistake was blowing through my bottle of GTS in a month and having to wait another 11 to get more :hot:

Weller 12, ER17 and V17.

Willett Family Estate 5-Year Old Rye, Smooth Ambler Old Scout 7-Year Bourbon and GTS 2011 while listening to "Hang on to a Dream" (collection) by Tim Hardin and "Mighty Joe Moon" by Grant Lee Buffalo.

Friday night from about 7:30-9:00 has, without verbal recognition, become "The Quiet Period". Following my 2.5 year-old son's dinner and bath (my wife proctors dinner, I do the bath), my wife reads to him and tucks him in while I repair to my office to drink bourbon neat, listen to music and surf the Interwebs. My wife, meanwhile, repairs to our bedroom to surf on her iPhone and catch up on the day's news (tonight she's emailing me birthday gift suggestions). Around 9:00 PM she'll come downstairs, we'll figure out something for dinner, pour some drinks (bourbon w/club soda for her, bourbon neat for me) and either chat or watch some TV ("Breaking Bad" via Roku these days) or a movie.

Kind of a nice after-tuck-in routine DA... Still deciding what to pour before starting a suspension fork rebuild tonight.

What are you rebuilding the forks on? Don't mix up your fork oil and whiskey...

[JPBoston]

Watched Black Narcissus on a beautiful Criterion Blu-ray with a couple pours of OWA.

Marzocchi 55 (mountain bike) - replaced the damping cartridge, oil, and seals. The whiskey stayed safe in mah belly!

Didn't have any American libations tonight though (Mexican & Canadian spirits were calling me).

KC as the base for my at home attempt at the Spanish Harlem cocktail. Good but not as good as the restaurant. Using a different bourbon and a different PX sherry and it has been open a while although it tastes fine on its own. Trying to find the sherry used by the restaurant which seemed even richer that the Alvear PX I have but maybe this drink would also do better with an 80 proof bourbon like was used at the restaurant (a well brand called Bourbon Club? Not familiar with it) instead of 100 proof like KC.

[squire]

That looks good, I plan to work on using more sherry in cocktails.

[ChainWhip]

Filled my flask with SB Blend 1:1 & heading out for a ride!

[bourbonandbacon]

just had my first taste of FRSBLE12, really nice

Alright! My two obsessions, whisky and Criterion blu-ray.

I'm watching the snow fall with a few pours of Buffalo Trace.

[savagehenry]

Enjoying a new bottle of Larceny. Can't go wrong at $12 after the rebate. Nice pour, even at $22.

[Barclay Beach]

Sipping some EC12... Found a neglected bottle in the back of my cabinet. Had downgraded it for some reason (?!?) but it's really hitting the spot tonight.

[squire]

After giving the matter some consideration I decided to pour some Grand Dad.

[LCWoody]

Having some WL Weller 12 year and some PHC 2012 sitting by a fire on a beautiful night.

JPS18, Batch #13. It's growing on me. I bought this back at the beginning of November and I've had 3-4 pours prior to tonight. This is the first time it's impressed me on the palate.

[petrel800]

A little GTS to finish up a nice evening with the wife.

[shoshani]

Larceny. My first sip ever, just opened my first bottle.

Much to my surprise, I am underimpressed. I have a feeling that a little oxidation will do this one some good; first pour out of the bottle, it tastes as though they went for all the sweetness with none of the complexity. I have a feeling it will develop in time. Too many people have said too many good things about Larceny for me to dismiss it out of hand.

I have some of the 17 batch 3 and I like it alot. Dessert in a glass.

Tonight some 4R SmB LE 2011. A big pour this time and it's yummy.

Brought my flask filled with 50/50 SB Blend to a dinner with friends (first use of my xmas present flask!). After they offered some drinks (I went with some Jameson's neat) I busted out the flask and poured the bourbon into my cup. They thought it was pretty funny, they were drinking grapefruit flavored vodka and soda water, and I was drinking bourbon neat.
