Just returned from spending 4 hours toiling around the "Superior Plumbing sponsored North Georgia State Fair". :falling: Merica at it's finest, baby!! Passed on the "Hot", "New", "Dixie Thong" for sale for $5, but did manage to peruse the fine collection of goats in the pettin' zoo, and mauled a heapin' pile of deep fried Oreos...So my arse is comfily planted in my chair in the garage, and an HH BIB 6 yr straight from the fridge is in my glass...Somebody strike up Lee Greenwood! :D

A couple pours of ECBP137 to finish the night after sharing a bottle of Spanish Grenache with a friend. One more pour left in this bottle of ECBP137. I'll probably get that tomorrow.

One pour of KC120 followed by 2 pours of ECBP 134, the ECBP just blew the KC out of the water in my opinion. Both sipped neat, going to try a little water another night.

Right before I went full bore into my journey into Bourbonia, I had a short, but fulfilling, fling with the Scotch family. The Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish was my fave. Absolutely loved the stuff. Dusty now, yes? I occasionally find myself sweeping through the Scotch aisle hoping to find a bottle, for old times sake...

Yes, the 12yo Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish is a dusty now, though the Quinta Ruban that replaced it is close (and is itself a great whiskey), but the flavors are subtly different. Even though NAS, the Quinta Ruban is supposed to be 12 yo, and has a bit more ABV and is non-chill-filtered.

In unrelated news, on Thursday night while out with friends, I had a fantastic Quebecois cocktail: Close to 2 oz. Sazerac Rye, 1/2 oz. Dolin Dry Vermouth, 1/2 oz. Punt e Mes, 1/2 oz. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, and some orange zest that the bartender lit on fire. It was just heavenly.

I agree with your sentiments with regards to the comparisons of ECBP and KC120. For my taste, there's no comparison....the ECBP definitely the preferred one.

I've tried a little BT in my morning coffee, but wasn't a huge fan. Maybe a switch to Barton will fix that. :)

I loves me some Barton, I loves me some coffee. So about a month ago, I thought " I'll have a morning squire"..:puke:

Sorry, I thought it was terrible, and a big YMMV

Some FC while watching USC v. UCF. The FC got off to a good start. USC not so much. But the Gamecocks pulled it out in the end.

Wash the car. Have some EW 1783. Grill some steaks. Not a bad day for late Sept. in OH.
