Started the night with a pour of OFBB'10 and now sipping on a pour of CEHTBP. I have my thoughts set on ECBP at the moment. Probably will end the night with that.

Second night with a 375 of OF prohibition anniv. A solid pour and I think its better than the current OF signature.

Jefferson's Reserve. Desperately trying to kill this bottle so I can move on. It's not bad, I just feel kind of ripped off at the price.

Barrel pick night with the store.

EWSB @135 & 147 proof and a Henry Mckenna @ 141 & 145 proof.

Went with the first EW and the second Mckenna.

Good whiskey and a fun time!

Got down to my last 1/5 of an ECBP 134.2 last night. Will be sad to see this one go, but thankfully I've got a few backups. :)

Lucky you! I have 3/4 of the welcome center's version left,(129.7)that I have been rationing slowly. Yesterday I just asked a few of my local stores if they could order some of the new batch that's supposed to come out shortly. Hey if you ever see any of it around,maybe you could pm me, that is if you don't snatch it all up.:grin:

I did a mini flight with a friend consisting of EC 12, ECBP (133.2) and a blend of both at 50/50. We both agreed that the blend was far better than the individual drams, I'm going to make up an entire bottle and set that aside to marry for a while. I may even go pick up a few more ECBP since our stores keep getting them in stock for whatever reason.

In a "moment" of weakness, I had a pour each of BT, CEHT SmB, and Stagg Jr last night. In that order. It was a pleasantly predictable progression from the BT to the Stagg, with the trademark BT corny nose present in increasing amounts through all 3 pours, and with the cinnamon candy finish just apparent in CEHT before becoming much more pronounced in the Stagg. I can't wait to add GTS to this little flight.

Tonight I have decided to ignore my doctor's advice and instead enjoy a little 4R OBSF private selection from Packages and More Liquors. Very very nice.

I'm taking medical advice and fighting off this cold with a hot toddy........OWA+sugar+water+heat=soothing goodness.

A rather unremarkable Jefferson's single barrel that I picked up a few years ago for cheap. Spring cleaning in my house tonight.

A few days ago I was finally able to find a bottle of Elmer T Lee. Last one on the shelf. So far I have been through about half the bottle. I don't really care much for it. Feels flat and boring. I was hoping for more. Tonight I had a pour, then I had a pour of Old Weller Antique. I know, different animals, but I enjoy the OWA much much more.

Who here really enjoys the ETL, and why? I am going to revisit this bottle in a month or so and see how I feel.

I love ETL as do many others here. I get a vanilla ice cream/cream soda drizzled with caramel flavor with some spice on the finish. Admittedly, I haven't had a pour of it in quite a while though. I've been too busy going through samples and new acquisitions to spend much time with what I've dubbed "Old Faithful."

I've had some bottles of ETL that could have been described as a bit flat. I now have mostly store selected bottles around, so those are a bit more selective barrels than the off-the-shelf. Bottom line though, it is still one of my favorites, and I've been pleased with my recent bottles.
