What bourbon are you drinking - Fall 2013

[Eskwar]

Opened a new (old) WTR101 for a Turkey Day Old Fashioned. Now keeping the holiday festive with a new ABGBFB ... I'm new here, but that *is* the proper acronym for Abraham Bowman Gingerbread Beer Finished Bourbon, right?

Drinking Rare Bread for the first time tonight... Not sure how I feel about it yet though.

michters 20, paper label Weller 12 and WT American Spirit.. Had to throw a turkey in today of all days

Started off with some W12 while doing a little cleaning up after dinner. Then had a couple of pours of Saz 18. Now having a nightcap of some 129.7 ECBP. Heck of a good day. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

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.

Opened up a Lot B, an ORVW 10/107 and WLW 2013 to share with the family for Thanksgiving. Oddly, most impressed with the Lot B tonight, maybe because it was the first pour after a long day, but really hit the sweet spot in elegance and balance. Better than the bottles I have sampled out at bars in the past. The WLW was nice too, but really needs some water, which I was too lazy to fool with tonight.

Did a side by side blind tasting of Weller 12, OWA, and a 50/50 SB blend of the two. Good clean fun! Ended up a three way tie. I made some notes in the tasting section if anyone is curious.

Horrible Thanksgiving with my wife's incredibly boring extended family and I couldn't drink because it's an hour drive on the highway in crappy weather. I came home and poured myself a solid three-ounces of 2011 THH and I'm following it up now with a bottle-killing, four-ounce pour of Blanton's Straight from the Barrel. High-rye, barrel-proof bourbon take me away!

While not Turkey, I kept it in the Avian family and had a big pour (for me) after everything was cleaned up and put away.

Eagle Rare 10 / 101 - New Orleans

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!!!

Home from my Aunt's house and having a WLW now, but earlier at her house when I mentioned I liked whiskey, she says "oh we have some 50 yr old whiskey you can have." What? Turned out it only 42 years old (or 48 depending on how you look at it). My Uncle had bought some 6yo Seagrams in 1971 and apparently didn't like it very much. Been in their liquor cabinet ever since. Delicious stuff!

I am sure roasted eagle is just as good as roasted turkey..magnificent pour!!

A bottle of WTKS pewter top with the in-laws. My smoked turkey was a killer, one of the best I have done.

Came home and drank a WLW 12 now moving to GTS12.

Been staying with the BIL in the Madison WI area, and brought along a EC18 to share.

After the first two sips, I was a bit disappointed as it didn't quite taste like I remembered, but then another taste memory kicked in, and with the third sip, it hit home. I had had this before, just it wasn't in a EC bottle, or another Heaven Hill bottle either.

It's a dead ringer for the Binnys Willett 21yr #3635 that was put out in 2012. That was a good bottle!

This EC was barreled in 91, which would put it in the same age range as the Willett when it came out. That and the Willett barrel number is pretty close to the barrel number of the EC. With the age, barrel and similar taste, I wonder if they came from the same batch?

Been a good two nights of drinking with this. And as a bonus to the BIL for his hosting and hospitality, he is getting the rest oft eh bottle gifted, as he also made several comments about how good this was and that it was the first bourbon that he has been able to drink straight.

i think I have another converter in the makings.

Since it was Turkey Day and all, I busted open a bottle of Rare Breed yesterday. Been sitting in my cabinet for awhile, it's the first time I've tried it. Have generally not been overwhelmed by the WT family products I've tried, but really liked the RB. For some reason it had almost a hint of a chocolately taste to me, although that certainly wasn't the predominate flavor.

Healthy pour of Noah's Mill while I make bourbon balls (using OGD 114).

made some last week with OGD114 an Larceny mix. take a sip of the bourbon after you filter out the nuts. It's pecan flavored bourbon!

[brettckeen]

For thanksgiving we had WT Rare Breed, Old Rip 10 107 13', WT Old Number 8, and a lot of 4R Binny's OBSV.

Enjoying some FRSB OESK gift shop bottle.

I actually spill it all into the mix (I had the nuts sitting for a year, and I strained first - and wound up with less than a tablespoon of bourbon, so I threw it in with some extra powdered sugar). But I'm going to have to put more in next time and try that!

Ironically, I'm now enjoying the bourbon which had raisins steeping in it for a long time - and it is like a thick, syrupy raisin whiskey! Reminds me of plum wine on steroids. :yum:

They should turn out good. I gave a friend a bottle of OGD 114 last week and his wife made some. He was nice to bring me some...took them home & they lasted about 30 minutes.

Four roses. Yellow. With ice. Don't judge me.

[suntour]

a friend left over a mostly full bottle of bulleit. Man I have to admit I really like this stuff. Low on the QPR but so delicious. i like sweeter bourbons and really like that you get a blast of sweetness and then the signature Four Roses spice on the back-end. i never see it talked about here probably because of its evil corporate parentage.

I'm in NE Ohio visiting parents. It seems to be a bourbon wasteland, so I'm drinking some Great Lakes Christmas Ale. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!
