Blanton's mini in my hotel room before heading out.

Hahaha. Dare I say it; that is pretty cute.

I would have done the same. Good choice considering, I bet.

Cheers,

Nice warm sunny day called for some AE (very light and a little sweet). Going a complete different direction now with some OGD114 since the sun has gone down. Time to warm back up.

4R YL in an Old Fashioned earlier, then some Woodford Reserve on ice later.

Think I'll go with a BIB theme, probably Old Grand Dad.

Opened a dusty faux tax stamp OGD BIB mini and decided to pour some current OGD114 to compare. The nose on the BIB is much more potent, and sweeter with some butterscotch. The 114 has no butterscotch, but light banana and is very rye forward. Same goes for the taste with the 114 being much more dry. I love the 114 but dusty BIB wins this round.

emptied a weller 12 and now enjoying some koval dark oat.

Had to follow up. Wish I had just stuck with OGD114 today. What a great pour. Can't believe I put this off till tonight. The perfect end to a nice day. Great spice and velvet texture all in harmony. Neat. Can't add ice to this. It's great just like it is.

Doing my new daily pour of the ECBP 67.1% goodness on the rocks.

PS, I was able to pick up a bunch more today to stock up so should carry me quite a while now.

CEHT Rye, Willet RR 8 yr, and PVW 20 at Arcadium Lex KY. Good night.

JPS 18 Batch 15. Controversial pour around here but I really like it. Maybe not enough to drop another Benjamin but thinking about it.

VOB BIB

Old Fitz BIB

OWA

I did a little 'taste-off' yesterday between ECBP and Pappy 23 (from 3-years ago). It was pretty damned close and the Pappy won only by a very narrow margin. Great Fun, for sure!!! The reality is that Pappy is so damned hard to get, and so extremely expensive ...I'd much rather have 5 or 6 bottles of the ECBP. Come to think of it; anybody want to trade me 3-bottles of ECBP for my half-bottle of Pappy 23??? Didn't think so... Oh Well.

I agree. I liked it enough to bunker 3 Batch 8 bottles and 1 batch 15 bottle. I say if you like it then you should get it. I will have to compare the Batch 8 against the 15 when I'm down to my last pour in this bottle.

Ending the day with a double pour of OGD 114. Still my favorite go to pour.

[brettckeen]

Its an old fitz party... Bonded, 1849, Larceny, and VSOF side by side. The results are as predicted. I like Larceny about 3 to 4 dollars more a bottle than 1849. VSOF not amazing but quite good. Bonded is a fine pour after my pallet is exhausted by other things.

Out by the fire with one of my all-time old favorites. Slope shoulder OCPR. For some reason, I don't visit this beautiful whiskey regularly enough.

Had a few SBer's over tonight

[thiemb]

Finished off my bottle of Binnys FR OESQ and had the penultimate pour from a TPS JJ Bowman #45.

Wow. Looks like some really nice pour!

How was the VOF8?!

Cheers

The VOF 8 is a wonderful pour, I think the viscosity of the pour and the way it coats your mouth is the most impressive aspect of it

I was really blown away by the VOF tonight - simply an awesome pour of bourbon (and I definitely took a healthy pour ). Mike was a more than generous host this evening, and I certainly am grateful to have the chance to sample such great bottles.

[tigerlam92]

Wonderful! Looks like you guys had some great drinks and great company.

Cheers

Had the last of my bottle of 2:1 SB Blend while watching Hemlock Grove with the wifey.

Whiskey was great, the show was total "chic flic" though.

Lazy Sunday. Willett Pot followed by OLD 114. Some Virgin 101, WT 12 and George Dickel 12.

[squire]

Some Barton with coffee this morning.
