What Bourbon Are You Drinking? Spring 2013

[Crowes]

Probably Heaven Hill juice.

[unclebunk]

Good ol' FR1B for me last night and I think I'll hit the same again this evening. Such divine whiskey for under $35!

[squire]

Some Old Grand Dad because it's Tuesday.

It certainly tastes like it.

[savagehenry]

And now VOB BIB. Love those BIBs.

Willet 8yr. Man i'm glad i bought a backup when i found this one.

[Old Dusty]

OF Signature 100. First time w this one. Not bad, rye spice and barrel on the palate and maraschino cherry on the finish. Bought a baby one on the advice of several on here just to do a test drive.

[Crowes]

I realized as I hit send that I was being Captain Obvious with that. Now you need to taste them both blind and see if you can pick 'em.

I think I could, though they are very similar. I found the PHC a bit one note though, and this Willet is definitely smoother and a little more nuanced.

[Alden]

OGD BiB, KC, and 4R sm btch... I still like the 4R better than just about anything.

[DBM]

The Wife surprised me with a very well made FR1B LE 2012 old fashioned. It's my normal "recipe", but cocktails always taste better when someone else makes it.

[clingman71]

Elmer tonight, with a Fonseca Robusto.

Phil I'm reasonably familiar with the Weller brand as it has evolved over the years but must admit to a bit of bias because I started drinking the brand when Pappy was still alive.

I have no doubt that you have drunk your share of exceptional whiskey through the years squire. Present day included. Just pokin a little good natured ribbing on your "settled in ways". Which I think is cool, certainly didn't mean to offend..:grin:

Working on a bottle of WT 101. Very nice bourbon, especially on sale at $19.99. I think the mouthfeel on this is exceptional. Yesterday was fairly warm in the afternoon so I thought maybe I should try a cube of ice in it.....real bad idea if you ask me. Totally ruined the mouthfeel, I won't do that again.

had a bit of OCD last night and had a little bit from a few bottles; owa, wlw 12, ewsb 03 and 02, hw rendezvous, ogd 114 and ardbeg corry

Last night I had my wife pour me a blind flight of TPS selections of Four Roses OESO, OESK, and Smooth Ambler Old Scout 10 year old (which is 21% rye DSP-IN-1 bourbon.) I felt like it would be an interesting comparison thanks to similar heritage and mashbill. All three pours were enjoyable but the "blind" factor immediately went out the window; it was very clear which of the pours was from which Lawrenceburg, just from nosing.

I hate to declare a winner in these sorts of things but the winner was OESO. And me, for getting to sip on some great barrel proof selections.

Phil there is a certain clarity in finding what I like and sticking to it but if someone else is pouring . . .

[black mamba]

I did the wheat thing last night, with VSOF 12, W 12 and 1843, but fell asleep in the chair watching the Spurs game so didn't record it until this morning.

Just poured myself a snifter of Wild Turkey Rare Breed.

[GaryT]

A dram of Willett Pot Still - another step on the quest to empty the bottle

[squire]

It's the journey Brother.

[MauiSon]

First pour and taste of BT - meh. Good quality, but lacking in flavor. Not much on the nose. Smooth with a tickle of rye spice. First pours are often misleading, though.

Enjoying a healthy mixture of ECBP and EC12. Delicious. Ready to settle in for some original six hockey. Go Wngs!

[Clavius]

Just poured the last of my one bottle of ECBP.
