Last night I had a few drams of Weller 12 and FRSiB and then an Old Fashioned made with RittBIB and Carpano Antica vermouth.

Starting with some 4R SB Private Selection. Damn fine pick and just the right amount of mouthfeel/taste. I really hope 4R keeps finding these amazing 10-12yr barrels.

Early this morning before morning coffee, I had a nice pour PHC10 124.2. It is wonderful to be reminded how good that is. This bottle has only one more great pour in it.

Right now I'm enjoying a 141.8 GTS over crushed ice. This too is nothing short of wonderful.

Interesting. Bob Eubanks would say "making whoopee" but whatever floats your boat.

Odd night. Normally stick with one or two bourbons whenever I sample. However, tonight, I started with a pour of EC12, then FRSB, then AA10. Normally, EC12 would be my favorite but tonight it was FRSB, AA10, then EC12. Blanton's is still my favorite but too expensive for a regular pour. FRSB and EC12 typically fall second and third. However, I am finding that I typically prefer FRSB over EC12.

Mrssmokinjoe and littlesmokinjoe are out at the American Idol concert, so it's just me and the dog holding down the fort. Just finished a bone in ribeye on the grill and baked tater. Now, it's Braves on the radio, Perdomo 10th Anniversary, and a thick pour of OGD 114 in the glass. It's making for bliss...The pup is grinding away on that ribeye bone now, so she's lovin' life, too. :D.

Haha, your head is spinning? After 3 pours, so is mine! You, my friend, are having the much better pour! Enjoy!

Enjoying a post-dinner pour of OFBB 09. I know it seems a lot of people didn't care for this but I really like it. I get BIG butterscotch, caramel, brown sugar, and some nice oak... a rich pour.

Very cool evening in eastern MA.. it's a positively chilly 59 degrees out. I started with the EWSB vintage 2003, and I'm wrapping up with a taste of the FRSmBLE 2012.

Sadly, there's only one more tiny pour of the latter left in the bottle. I have three more bottles in the basement, but I'm planning on holding off opening them for some time. There are other whiskeys on deck, and a few more to buy and try, so I won't feel like I'm missing anything.

Tonight it's 4RSB. My first Four Roses actually. (but not the first time drinking from this bottle)

Lots of barrel proofers tonight. Old Scout 10/111.8, WLW 2012, ECBP 134.2. Great pours all.

Interesting night last night. Had a small pour of WSR7 that's really nice. Then moved to a small pour of chivas, Glenlivet 15, Glenlivet 18, then EHT SB bib. I can see how this EHT SB is a bourbon that is enjoyable for scotch lovers. I read that in a review once.

Maybe the Weller and FR were enough drink for one night, since your Old Fashioned looks suspiciously like a Manhattan. :lol:

Ouch. You might have been right. I was struggling a bit that morning. Haha.

A little Larceny in my heart. I like it, but it would be a better value for the price that some of you have paid for it around the country. Here in NYC it is north of $30 for 750ml.

A nice pour of BMH that I had decanted into an empty RHF bottle that was too pretty to throw in the trash.
