What bourbon are you drinking? Summer 2013

[macdeffe]

It is worth the hype

I rated it 95, I was drinking with a friend who doesn't really like bourbon. He rated it 92!!

Here is the back label

Passed up one of those the other day. I guess I should go get it, huh?

Man, I would. I wish I had a couple more.

Some Blanton's after a dinner that included 7 bottles of wine, seemed like a good idea at the time. Dang customer from Kentucky got me again.

Little 2012 small batch 4 roses. Then a little more. Then a big pour

+1

This pretty precisely describes my normal routine.

"Ok, I'll have a little bit of ___."

A little later:

"Sure, I'll have a little more."

Then:

"Who am I kidding?"

A couple just came in and ordered a pour of old mock sw distilled 1916 bottled in 1933, after they left I licked the jigger before washing it. No sense in being wasteful

[smknjoe]

Well...was it good?

Freakin great. Had a full pour once on the bosses bday... its certainly different animal than anything now. You can tell its sw juice though all the butterscotch bubblegum and cotton candy notes

[kcgumbohead]

A healthy pour of good old standard 4R Smb, delicious!!

[GaryT]

Lovely pour of ECBP

In honor of the Stagg Jr launch, some GTS '12.

[skidfive]

V17 rye based. Very tasty

I imagine that would describe most of us!

Dude, that is funny!

Had a solid pour of Larceny. I know a lot of folks on here like it. It just doesn't do it for me. Followed with a solid SB blend. 3:1 WL12/OWA. Much better! I want to like Larceny but I just don't get into it. Much prefer WL12.

First pour ever of WT8 from 1975 thanks to a fellow SB member. Outrageously good. Jealous of the members who bunkered this stuff when they had the chance

Currently traveling and I always keep a bottle or four of my Pappy stash to the places I visit frequently. Yes, almost like hiding it up in a tree or burying it in the sand where nobody would find it. Okay, maybe not that extreme but you get the point. Anyways, made a healthy pour of Pappy 15 from the Fall 2012 release. Interesting, I find this bottling noticable different from another Fall 2012 release that I am working on that is so good the bottle will probably be wiped out in less than 2 months from initial opening. This one tonight shows a touch more wood and spice on the palate. I guess a little variation is never a bad thing.

Of note: both bottles from the same release, but purchased in different cities which probably means different batches?!?

Maker's Mark in a Knob Creek branded glass. :bigeyes:

[Bourbon Boiler]

I took a bottle of Old Forester on my trip to SE Michigan this week. It will be a bit lighter on the way back tomorrow.

[Kalessin]

Turkey burgers on the grill last night for dinner. Sadly out of WT (to match the burgers), but OGD BiB with a cube kept the cook well relaxed.

[theglobalguy]

Some EC12 while grilling. Soon to be followed by air conditioned basement.

[squire]

Old Grand Dad because it's Friday.

[GaryT]

Some Noah's Mill, which is hitting the spot tonight, then moved to some FC 103 and loving it too!

Moved to a second pour :-)

[Stormeh]

The last of my FR Mariage '09 with a cube of ice on it. For the high proof, it works well as a summer drink when it's chilled and diluted a bit. Tasty.

[tylermke]

A little ECBP 134.2 before dinner. Will switch to some '10 THH after.

Started off with Jefferson's Rye. Have since moved on to 2012 OFBB. I think on deck is some 2013 FR SB.
