What bourbon are you drinking - Fall 2013

An OESF FRSB private selection to kick things off this evening.

Just poured a little of an OBSK recipe FRSB private selection to compare head to head. Really enjoy both but the OBSK has been one of my favorite new-to-me bourbons of the past year. Really, really enjoy it.

pardon my ignorance. But what is the wax topped Elmer T lee? I have only seen and tried the foil top.

Older bottling, I think the change over from wax to foil was 2005? I am sure someone else on here knows a whole lot more about them than myself

Standard ETL from between 1999 - 2005. It's darker and richer than the current stuff. The current stuff is still one of my favorites though.

Three quarters of the way through Ezra B SB 12YO and still waiting to be impressed. At this point I would much rather have two bottles of Old Ezra 101.

I tried that one night at a nice restaurant with a flight of bourbons. EB12, Noah's Mill, and Booker's (a given...). I swore the EB12 and the Noah's mill had the same source, as they tasted (to me) like two different proof points of the same whiskey, and didn't care for either. I like, but don't love, the Ezra 7/101, but the 12 kinda sucked to me.

On my 2nd pour of ECBP. At the end of my last pour I used a disposable pipet to add just a few drops of water. It really turned on the after burners for me. So naturally I had another pour to investigate properly.

Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whiskey and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested.

Finally opened my EH Taylor barrel proof tonight. Definitely darker color than the Stagg Jr. Neat it seems a little hotter. But a little water and it opens up nicely. Just need to get my hands on a ECBP to compare all three.

paper label SBS with a new bottle.. I think this has officially ruined new Weller 12 forever.. The new bottle is so bitter compared to the paper label

Yes indeed Michael...and even as recently as a 2007 bottling in the non paper new bottle (wheat stalks), still far superior to current. I hope I can keep enough in the bottle to bring it to the gazebo in spring so others can experience the difference.

Wanted a wheater before dinner, last night in Vegas . . . 15 yr Pappy $60 a pour, no thanks, PHC 4th 10 year for $18, yes please. Drinking it, I feel I ripped the place off. Great stuff.

I was going to wait until Thanksgiving Day to open this bottle but hey, I am thankful now.

So I am sipping Wild Turkey Tradition 14yo 101prf, neat.

Blanton's. No big deal. Always very solid.

Old Fitzgerald BiB... Another high quality, affordable HH bonded bourbon, IMO.

WLW 2013 and JPS 21y Rye. WLW is great as always.

JPS Rye surprised me, it's a lot better than I thought it would be, very very good

I need to free up some space in my bar so I've been hitting a bottle of OFBB 2012 trying to finish it off. I should be able to kill it tomorrow.

Promise of Hope tonight. Has opened up a little bit over the past week and half. A really great pour, but definitely not at the top of the QPR scale.

[DrBob]

ECBP 1st release. Halfway through the bottle and so glad I have two more in the bunker.

[petrel800]

A little GTS 2013 after dinner in Caesars. Enjoyed the 2012, really enjoying the lower proof 2013.

Finished up this cold, windy, rainy, blustering evening with a glass of Old Grand Dad.

[suntour]

Up again with the baby so a big pour of Old Grand Dad is in the works for me. Some next-level screaming just finished. (slurp)

98' Bottle of Old Fitz 1849 with 8yr age statement. Yum. Not sure on the origin, Bernheim or Stitz, but it is a tasty wheater.

Yesterday and today started with WLW12 and GTS12 both so good. Will do a Saz18-12 later than maybe THH09 if I have to.

Some more 1792 Rigemont Reserve tonight. Trying to get into this one but honestly not digging it, it's a little too hot.

Elijah Craig 18yo, neat.
