What bourbon are you drinking - Fall 2013

[suntour]

Took a bottle of Ezra Brooks Single Barrel to a party tonight hoping to kill it off. Nope, only one taker that I saw. I guess I'll get to work on it myself.

Might have a dash of WLW as a nightcap. I can't get over how good it is (2008 is the year)

Agreed. 2008 is a spectacular pour. I haven't had the earlier years, but 2008 is the best to my taste.

Sounds mighty good. I haven't had PVW 20. Do you mind comparing it to the JPS 17?

Joe, very similar taste profiles. I'll do a SBS tonight, but the PVW 20 has a considerably better mouthfeel, while the JPS 17 has more caramely sweetness. Both great, great pours.

Had a couple pours of FRSmBLE2013 last night. I enjoyed it but didn't enjoy it as much as prior pours. It tasted bitter. It could be my taste buds being off last night.

Cracked open a bottle of WFE 8 Year I picked up in CA. It was very good but I could taste just a hint of juniper which gave it a very slight young flavor. Not a detriment in any way but the first time I can recall this in a WFE and I have a 6 Year I am fond of. Also have a shipment of 11 year showing up today which will make it into tasting tonight!

Planning on some 1792 tonight at our neighboorhood "Blocktoberfest".

i know they only release it occasionally, but i havent seen ANY WFE, other than the rye, anywhere in louisville. anyone have any tips? i tried the 8 year at the distillery tour and loved it!

I gave someone a sample of the 2012 and they were not impressed with it. Some people just don't care for 4R...and that's okay. (Deep Thought's - by Jack Handey)

I find it interesting that some of us blame the bourbon for being off and some blame our own palate. I join lonesome old foureyedfox in an inability to appreciate 4R. I keep telling myself that maybe I just need to step up to the LE expressions that so many SBers rave about. Then the devil on my other shoulder suggests that, for the price, I'd probably rather have four bottles of...well four bottles of lots of bourbons.

exactly what happens to me. though, ive never had the limited edition. after my whole debacle with the ECBP I dreamed of obtaining for the better part of a year, only to find it and despise it ( to put it lightly ), I am not going to chase down a limited edition 4R, and pay that price, knowing my feelings of the regular 4RSiB.

You should at least taste one of the barrel proofers if you get the chance. You may still not like it, but they are different from the standard offerings.

I have had one of the barrel proofers before, and i did actually like it. but, again, it crosses my price boundary of $50. you gotta draw the line somewhere. Some of you guys seem to have no price boundary, but I do.

[MyOldKyDram]

But yet you're willing to cross that line for a WFE, which will likely be nothing like the one you fell in love with.

They didn't have it available for purchase at the distillery?

[Paddy]

Poured a three finger AAA 10yr to enjoy in front of the fire.

Enjoying a little ECBP 137 in a Glenairn. A friend just showed up and she says"why are you drinking coffee in your whiskey glass? "..:slappin:

Very good. Now I just need to find some ECBP and see if my wife thinks its coffee. :grin:

[MyOldKyDram]

A lil bit of everything?

Was hanging at a friends house earlier, had small pours of 08 Mariage, PHC Wheated, and Balcones RCR. Very good pours all around and great company, thanks to a very generous SB'er!

So what you're saying is the rest of us need to walk around Lexington with "will work for Bourbon" signs?
