What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter '13/'14

[flahute]

More of that Jeffersons Reserve. Only one pour to go.

ECBP batch 2. Goes without saying that this is an incredible value pour.

ETL and currently digging for my next pour of something else

Poker group at my house last night, I had a good array on the counter. Personally started with a HW American Prairie Reserve, which I think is really good stuff. Then a little RHF, decided to polish off the dregs of a bottle of Glenlivet. Others were sampling various things - the most popular pour of the night was the Redbreast 12 Cask Strength. Everyone who had it was enthusiastic. Yeah, I know, not bourbon, just laying out the facts.

Last night had nice pours of OFBB13, ECBP batch 3, 4RSmbLE13, and 4RSBLE12. Winners all but for some reason the 4RSB12 really stood out. Maybe because it was last in the tasting line? Wish I had more of this.

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."

This is a pretty spot on description. It doesn't have a lot of big bold flavors, which makes it a little harder for me to describe. It makes me think about drinking cream soda with scoop of vanilla ice cream in it, and it reminds me of the way our kitchen smelled when making caramel. The flavors aren't heavy, but they have some depth.

It took a little while for this one to grow on me. I enjoyed it whenever I drank it, but I would usually pass on it for something more exciting. It became one top three bottles to keep on hand, shortly before it disappeared from shelves.

Just suck it up and make the label go vertical. ;-) I feel your pain though. Sometimes it takes a while to finish off a bottle.

I really wanted to! However, an early start today with two client meetings called for being responsible and going to sleep early.

Long damn week. Weller 12 to the rescue!

Decided to do a tasting tonight of a few different bourbons: ETL, RR90, ER10, and Few bourbon. For me, the ETL comes out as the winner, followed by the ER10, RR90, then far back the Few. The Few is really hard for me to even finish (bitter, grassy, and just not good to my palate).

I went down to the bunker and came up with 4 bottles.

I am starting out with some Wild Turkey 12yo, neat.

On deck are 2009 Four Roses Mariage, Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit 11-25-98 and WL Weller Centennial from the Bourbon Heritage Collection.

Stagg Jr., sampled at a local beer bar. Excellent whiskey, soft and rich despite the huge ABV. I softened it with a splash of water and it was even better.

How about a healthy pour of some FR SiB Poison Girl Private Selection...

Oscar, all worthy selections! Cheers!

Finished off a low-fill bottle that's been naggin' at me for weex.

Old Forester Birthday Bourbon, '12 edition.

Really hated to see it go. That is one well produced spirit. Right up to the edge of it's sweet spot. :drinking: Wouldn't want it a minute older; but neither would I change it any other way.... Well; other than drop the price back to the $mid-thirties of a few years ago.

... And this year it went up another fin! :cry:

I am working on some ETL right now, but I might have to join you on that one in a few minutes.

I agree that it was a long week. I don't have a Weller 12 open at the moment, so I made do with a nice pour of E.H. Taylor Warehouse C, Tornado Survivng bourbon today when I got home from work.

Cheers! Joe

Must be something universal; my wife and I both said tonight this was a long week. Dog days of winter...

[mbroo5880i]

Two solid pours of High West Double Rye. One would have thought that would have been enough for me but no.... I drank two smaller pours of CEHT SmB. I have been a bad, bad boy!

[theglobalguy]

Some HMcK BIB, followed by WT101 Rye and WFE 7yr to round it out.

[kyrocklover]

Started out with a TPS 4R OESK and now sipping some Knob Creek.

[justataste]

Had my first belt of Blanton's. Hmmmmm. Kinda reminded me of 1792 for twice as much.......

[WAINWRIGHT]

First off I want to be Oscar's neighbor........but I did a little dusty hunting myself tonight with a OCPR followed up by some Ten High Ten both great pours.

Man I would love to find some of the Tornado EHT....never had it. I really like the small batch.
