Some AAA10yr, along with some attempted "improved" AAA10yr ala Ralfy's method. Result: Don't fix what ain't broken. Nose on the "improved" one was more interesting, but only marginally - and on the palate, what jumps to mind is "confused". Glad this experiment wasn't on a large volume!

link on the "improved AAA10year"? Curious about that as its already pretty much one of my favorite pours.

'77 Old Grand Dad for me today/tonight.

Couple of enjoyable pours of RHF while out with friends last night. A good way to end a long, tough work week. Already wondering what may be in store for tonight?

Started early. Two good pour of SB blend on ice. Yummy.

Now on the first pour ever of a JPS 25. I like it. Not woody at all and quite balance. Very smooth, nice nose, flavor and complexity and finish.

I was sipping it (while typing this) but finish a good pour in minutes. Really enjoyable. Will spend a little more time and let the initial airing take effect. I'm going for a second pour. Guess I like this. Hahaha

Sipping on the last pour from a bottle of Hirsch Small Batch. I think I'm going to have another pour of Stagg Jr. next and see if I can find the sweet spot with a bit of water. Too hot for me neat.

Back from a work trip that was in Orlando and really needing the brown liquor to warm me up tonight after a week of pleasant temperatures. So Old Fitz 1849 will start the evening.

Old Forester Signature really hitting the spot.

Danggit, Paul!!! You just reminded me that I've run out if this! :banghead: Louse!! What a nice and inexpensive pour.

Figgerin' I'll start off the evening with a Maker's.

WFE GS 9yr and I have come around a little on this bottle,it is very finicky of how it takes to water but I finally have this one dialed in.

Henry McKenna 10 year BIB single barrel and really really enjoying it. Comparing it to George Dickel 14 yo and some other sips and finding this McKenna to be better than I remembered. Been a long time since sipping McKenna. Wondering if maybe got hold of a better than normal bottle so going back to get more off the shelf of the same barrel # just in case. No, not getting a case. But maybe get some other barrel numbers for experiment. I'm enjoying this one a lot...and at $23 bottle, this might be my new favorite... at least for this week.

Wow, $23! I normally see it in the upper $20s to low $30s.

I have too many open bottles so I have been working to empty a few before I open new ones. I swayed from that strategy tonight as I opted for a Heaven Hill night. Started with Evan Williams SB 2003. It was a great opening pour. It was very spicy with a cinnamon, vanilla profile. Very similar to EC12 but with a lot less wood. I then moved on to EC12. Just a wonderful bourbon! This one was a store select version so it was a single barrel. Moved on to an EC12/ECBP pour. At 115.5 proof, this blend is probably as close to HHSS or one of the higher HH products as I will get. Very enjoyable. So much so, that I opted for a second.

I hope everyone is have a great evening!

Picked up a bottle of WFE 4 year rye today, so starting with a neat pour of that.. For $35, this is just fantastic.

Thw wife's family took us out for her b-day dinner, and I opted to give MM46 a try. Ive thought MM was kind of pedestrian before, but this was a step up. A strong caramel nose to it, and a long finish, I rather enjoyed it. As I say about most things though, it'd be just right at about 110 proof. I'll consider getting one of these and a Larceny with the rebate soon.

I agree Fox, the 46 is a nice step up. I had a nice three finger pour of ETL while watching the move "42" tonight. Both were very enjoyable!

Started the night off with a pour of Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2013, ending it with a William LaRue Weller 2013.

Took a trip up to Flagstaff so the kids could play in the snow.... on the way back, stopped for gas and picked up a shooter of JBB. Was much more enjoyable than I remember the last bottle I had. I had pretty much written it off, but maybe I'll give JBB a few more chances soon.
