Opened up a new bottle of EWSB 2002. To me this has a lot more flavors bouncing all over the place compared to the 2003. Forced myself to stop after three pours.

2012 4R Kentucky Derby Museum OESV selection for me tonight. Wow, is this a wonderful tale of two bourbons in one bottle. Sweet, creamy and soft upon first sip....Then, BAM!!!! The spice hits you like a fu@$!n bullet that rips off part of your head...your brains are layin' on the ground in little bloody pieces... :D.

It works fantastically.

Got bored... Cracked open a bottle of Black Maple Hill Small Batch (NAS).

Interesting, not at all what I expected.

Been on a little of a 4R fix myself, Ryan. 40th Anniversary for me out in the garage while listening to the Braves on the radio.

1.5 ounces of OWA in a tall glass packed with ice and 4 ounces of diet seven up...no bitters, no fruit, no vermouth...just a good old simple highball.

Started with some OWA. Then moved onto some 2013 FR SB. Now I'm settling in with some RRSBSmB.

One of the coldest evenings this summer down the shore ... warming up with a bit of Old Forester.

Been sick the past three days. Since I am starting to feel much better, I am celebrating with a pour of WTR101. This is doing wonders for my sinuses :D

Decided to stay on the 4R train after the 40th, with a pour from the 120 yr bottling. Very nice, and in a blind tasting I'm sure I would nothave pegged it as 4R whiskey. Shows, I think, what great range and flexibility this distillery has. Really good stuff.

Then, reached into the fridge for a pour of HH 6yr BIB. Dare I say it was the winner of the evening? Not fancy, challenging, or uber-complex. No, it's not "remarkable", except..except for how remarkably full, luscious, thick, chewy, and entirely enjoyable this 12 dollar whiskey drinks.

2012 WLW... it kills me only having 1 bottle of this. I couldn't find any last fall.

And to think, we used to consider Cabin Still to be just ordinary stuff, of course that was back in the days when gasoline was .30 cents a gallon.

I wish I could travel back in time to when this pour was ordinary, it is positively an incredible pour

As I know you know, ain't nothin' skunky about any 4R LE. :yum: The new are every bit as good as the old. 4R just don't miss.

Just when I thought I was finished for the night curiosity made me have another pour. I found a bottle of Old Fitz 1849 today that I suspected was a SW bottling, so what was I to do but try it and a newer bottling to confirm. The "older" bottle is typical SW profile where the new bottle doesn't come close to it

We also didn't have cell phones or the internet.
