What bourbon are you drinking? Winter 12/13

2012 4RSmB LE, neat.

Happy Thursday and here's to Friday's hangover.

Another Eagle Rare Single Barrel. I'm really impressed with this one.

Willett R/E 7yr tonight...It's a sad day as this bottle has been open for a couple years and it finally gave up it's last pour. I have a couple more in the bunker but I'm going to keep those hidden for a while! :cool:

[squire]

Cold, cold, cold and raining tonight, needed something bracing, decided on some Old Grand Dad.

Bookers '04 one glass will do'ya.

Started with the ER17 (2012) that I finally opened two nights ago. Very nice pour, with a well-balanced finish, between some sweet and a little wood, not too much of either. I was worried that 17 years is a long time in the barrel, but this juice did not suffer.

Moved on to the Breckenridge. Finishing with the 2005 OFBB.

Nice night cap Ray. Butterscotch delight

FR LESmB 2012. Neat.

Sounds good.

Is there any other way?

I'm getting ready to crack open a bottle I got for the next VBT. Tasting notes are coming soon.

[Cigar Dan]

Two nice pours finished off the last of my AAA. Shame, since it isn't available around these parts. I'll miss it.

Things escalated quickly. First an ND OGD and an Old Taylor. And some Colonel Lee BIB. Then a SB blend. Then a WSR7. Then a PVW 20. All while rewatching The Wire for the 100th time.

EDIT: some 2012 FRLESmB because I had to start another episode. Oh Lord.

I freakin love The Wire. I'm due for another re-watching, but that's a major month-long commitment. Once I start I can't stop.

Drinking a nightcap of Lot B with the snow falling fast outside.

I've been away from bourbon for a while, but this morning I had a nice little pour of PHC10. This seems to be my AM go to pour. I don't have to wonder why!

Last couple of days I have been sipping on Knob Creek Single Barrel. This bottle is the best I've had so far out of 4. Very sippable neat (not all have been so) and perfectly balanced. This one reminds me of Baker's a bit, but with a bigger finish.

Also, it's a screw closure. The earlier ones were synthetic corks. I'm a big fan of the screw closure, since currently the bottle is on its side in my nightstand drawer, and not leaking, as corks might in such a situation.

Nice Brisko. Always good to have a bottle within reach, for those tough moments in life, like when you have to get out bed in the middle of the night to take a leak or just plain get up for the day :grin:. Though I'd prefer a hot coffee screw closure system for my nightstand drawer. My most recent KCSB was quite delicious too, Binny's Barrel 153, synthetic cork. Good info on the cork change and wish they all had screw closure too...cork dust residue that builds up from all the opening and closing can also annoy me.

Flying delta to Vegas, only one option, Woodford. Only took me one sip to remember why I'm not a fan. Ice isn't helping, but non the less I am flying to Vegas, so I've got that going for me.

Like the Coasties say, semper paratus.:cool:

Experiment with adding a little water... I did and was pleasantly surprised!

With the 2012 SmBLE, try experimenting with a little added water... I did and was pleasantly surprised!

Lunch cocktail was Barton mixed with amaretto, triple sec and pineapple juice, sort of a whisky sour.

When I first tried that bottle it was too hot for me, as are all 4R when I first open them (SmB Std,, SB Std., and 2 different SmB LE) and I did add water. I like it both ways really and any way you drink it will probably be good!

On a side note: I was close to deciding I HATED the std. 4R SmB, but after being open for a few months it has turned into a very agreeable pour. Dont' know if it was the whiskey or me that changed...

Enjoyed some WLW, WTRB, Lot B, EWSB2000, and some BT. Good night on my mini staycation.

Having some OWA at my desk after a long week.

Old Charter 10 from the 90's. A nice pour.
