I am thinking about hitting a rye next. What are you thinking about? If I got it, I might just join you. :toast:

Dickel 12 while studying for tomorrow's final exam. I imagine a LOT more of it will be consumed tomorrow night.......

I believe you have the WFE 4 yr rye... I think I'll have a couple of fingers with just a few drops of water added. :toast:

Cracked open the 2013 OFBB I got today. Pretty darn good stuff, imo. Glad I picked it up instead of Weller 12.

Drinking a little Jeffersons VSB with eggnog. Not bad at all and a good way to finish off a bottle.

Plain ol' Buffalo Trace. Contemplating what my next purchase is going to be.

Rolled into FR SB Standard. OBSV is a great recipe.

Started off with BHM. Followed up with GTS. Then a small flight of three different ETL barrel picks. Not a bad night if I say so myself.

PHC 6, then PHC 7 and

then JPS 18, which was so very nice!

Now 13OFBB

Having a pour of Dant 2/16 now. The nose is great, the mouthfeel is great, and rich with flavors!

Edit: moving on to some OFBB13 now.

continuing the studies with small sips of OGD 114. sometimes, this stuff just hits the spot!

[jwacky]

Started with some KCSB, finished with some Stagg Jr.

Four Roses Single Barrel selected by Imperial in Portland. Not sure of the yeast/recipe, but aged 9 years and absolutely wonderful.

Dickely Rye and WL Weller 12 year

ETL. Better every time I have it.

By the time you reach 320 posts (10 X current number--though probably much sooner than that) you're really going to love it.

[GaryT]

Some OGD 114 - just the thing on a cool, damp Monday

[squire]

Exactly Gary, believe I'll follow your example.

[OscarV]

2013 Four Roses Small Batch Limited Edition, neat.

[smknjoe]

Good call Oscar.

Cracked open a handle of Old Heaven Hill 8 year old (86 proof) I bought over the summer when doing some lower shelf exploration. Initial reaction is a good basic bourbon that drinks well enough straight (caramel, vanilla, sweet mild spice from nose-to-palate). Not as sweet as EW Black or as refined as EWSB, but definitely in that family.

The only off note is a slightly bitter edge on the finish - closest I can describe it is bitterness/astringency you might get in a wine with under-ripe/underdeveloped tannins. The same note is much more dominant in the HH Black Label 10yr, like this bourbon was headed into that territory but was bottled before it rounded that bend. Not to the point of being unpleasant though and certainly would work as a mixer.

At $16 for a 1.75L though, I'm happy ...:yum:

[squire]

That is a happy price.

Welcome to the club in finding this. Now keep quiet about it and don't go spoiling it!!

We don't want the word to get out too much on it. :grin:
