Sipping a small pour of John J Bowman. Pretty tasty stuff but I'm not sure it's worth the $50 price tag.

Had a quick bourbon tasting at the Brandy Library in Manhattan on Tuesday night, purposefully drinking bourbons I have not had before. The lineup consisted of Angel's Envy, Willett Family Reserve, Black Maple Hill & Four Roses Single Barrel KSB. Surprisingly the Angel's Envy was the clear favorite followed by the Four Roses. I don't think we did the Willett any favors by having it follow the Angel's.

One annoying note about the Brandy Library was that the manager asked us to sit at the bar, instead of stand, saying it was house policy that we must sit. Well after 10 hours of flying my desk I really prefer to stand at a bar. There was no more than 8 other people in the joint, & none within 15 feet of us. 5 of us dropped $400+ in a fairly short time frame, so it was not like we were chewing up bar space and not dropping coin. The place was still empty when we left & I have to say it will be a long time before I return if this policy remains in place. I understand it is their bar & their rules but I will be spending my money elsewhere where the climate is less restrictive and more welcoming.

Right now working on a pour of Old Medley 12 year. Even though it's from a NDP, it's still a darn good pour. I like it a lot.

Fighting a cold/allergies tonight, thought some GTS 2012 might clear me up a bit.

At the least it's got enough kick you can still taste it!

Having last pour of OFBB '13 then moving on to some Rye's.....

Decided to save all the OGD114 for tomorrow mornings coffee so opened a new bottle of 4RYL, the only under 90 proof on the bar or bunker, just love it.

Some ORVW 10 107 and now a nice soothing pour of V17 as a backer.I think my palate may have finally come back around after KBF and the wheaters are showing strong tonight.

w00t! Go me! I like it too, and I generally don't like the Fs. This is a good bit spicier than most I've had. Very nice.

Always been a guru. :/ think SB had me as a disciple before. Chumps.

I think you were a virtuoso before, according to SB anyway.

Who needs a black belt when you can wear Elmer's hat as well as you? :D

Saluting your Post2K with a PHC 6th.
