What Bourbon Are You Drinking? Spring 2013

[LCWoody]

E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof I haven't had this in a while it's very good

[Brisko]

Some '09 WLW while watching Loony Tunes with the kids.

[devillighter]

Some ND Old Taylor.

Tapped my just bought HMcKenna 10 yr BIB and it's good stuff. Sweeter up front, but a long woody finish.

I like your description of the McKenna BIB. I've been diving into my first bottle, and find it is a very interesting bourbon. Some sips are sweet, some spicy, some woody, and some all three. As a 100 proof, single barrel, BIB, at under $30, it's one I'll certainly keep around.

OF Signature and 2012 OFBB while watching some basketball.

[KDM]

EWSB 2002 vintage

[jtexaslonestar]

Finishing off a pour of OGD114 then moving to OGD BIB

[HP12]

Last night a pour of some OWA PB while watching hoops. Good stuff on both fronts.

[unclebunk]

Dixie Dew for a change of pace. Great stuff!

[BillP]

Finished the OGD BIB and now enjoying the ERSB. Plus it's snowing like crazy and I don't need to go anywhere. This is a great weekend!

Doing a comparison between the FR OESK bottles that I just got from FR's...

[passthebourbon]

Weller Antique....on the rocks. Been really enjoying the chill lately.

[hectic1]

Moved onto some WTRR SB and I'm really enjoying this...nice turkey profile from years gone by!

[B.B. Babington]

ER17. maybe 1/3 bottle. night's not over.

[Clavius]

SB blend, 50/50.

[black mamba]

Clavius, I hate to be obtuse, but could you define "SB blend" for me. I've seen it several times but no comprende.

[Yeti]

Mamba, it's a blend of OWA and W12, usually 1:1, meant to replicate the old Weller Centennial which was 10 year 100 proof.

[Clavius]

Clavius, I hate to be obtuse, but could you define "SB blend" for me. I've seen it several times but no comprende.

StraightBourbon blend = Weller 12 and Weller Antique vatted together. The bottle I did is 50/50.

[black mamba]

Thanks, Yeti (and Clavius). I find that wheaters blend/vat extremely well. I'll have to try this one, soon.

[squire]

Sundown brought the howling thunderstorm which I braved with a couple fingers of Old Grand Dad.

[Yeti]

Thanks, Yeti (and Clavius). I find that wheaters blend/vat extremely well. I'll have to try this one, soon.

I can sell you a custom blend in a limited edition decanter. Only $400. If you've read the Wall Street Journal you'd know what a deal that is.

[black mamba]

Lucky I don't take the Journal! My only bottle of Pappy 20 was $85 + tax. The early JPS17s were close, and were about $5 less around here. Should have bought all they had.

I'm having some VSOF12, the best wheater I've got left.

[SFS]

JPS18, batch 16, though if I make it to pour #3, I think it will be ER17.

[black mamba]

SFS, you seem to be enjoying your wood notes tonight. A pair of nice, smooth, extra-aged beauties, there!
