I bought some FR LE SmB at the FR event in Indy last night so what did I drink tonight. Regular FR SmB, regular FR SB and WT101. :lol:

im curious if the rest of you, like me, have found the taste and proof of OGD114 particularly appealing with the weather turning cold and clearly autumny?

or maybe its just a coincidental run on the stuff lately.....

Re: the comment on AA BIB, that bottle would be some 15-20 years old, no?

The bottle doesnt have the normal date indicators (unclear laser code, no bottle date), but it was very dusty. I would imagine early 90s.

ECBP 134.2 closing out the evening. Three smallish pours of huge whiskies, and I think I'd rank them in the order I drank them.

I think it's because OGD114 is particularly appealing.

Started with Buffalo Trace, moved over to modern HH Old Fitzgerald, and then went to Ancient Ancient Age 10 year and nothing is tasting right. We all have off nights, guess I'll have a seltzer and a crack at it again tomorrow.

Some OF and some FC last night. I've been dabbling in the higher end of the cabinet lately, so thought I'd back it down a bit, enjoy the value pours and then the even better stuff will taste, well, even better.

Was out of town on business this week, so picked up a bottle of Old Charter 8yo, which is unavailable in my area, for the hotel room. Nice, easy drinking bargain buy.

Had my first experience with Eagle Rare last night. I was fortunate to get a bottle from one of the barrels specially selected from the distillery by the good and knowledgable folks at Market Square in Tallahassee. God bless 'em as they picked a good one imvho. This was my first time trying one of Market Square's barrel select bottles. It will not be my last. Tonight I will try my first Buffalo Trace, also from a barrel chosen by Market Square. I'm predicting an outstanding evening. :cool:

Tonight we are going to get our first hard freeze and methinks it's an excellent time to open a bottle of OGD114.

Good night last night. Went for variety. OGD 114 neat, Old Fashioned, Manhattan. Let the last two were omakase. (Yes, I am using the new word I learned.) Went to hear a band after that.

Shared the last of a bottle of Russell's Reserve with friends, at home later a small nip of Stagg Jr. The Stagg JR takes exceedingly well to a single ice cube.

Went with a 1:1 SB blend. Its been sitting for about 4 months. Time does that bottle well. So tasty.

Not a huge fan of ice in bourbon, but what the hell...I'll try anything...more than once.

I've noticed the same phenomenon. In fact it appears to happen with all bourbonryes :eek:
