Decent day at work for a change. :skep: Lunch was provided by our company in celebration of employees completeing 5, 10, 15 and 20 years of service during the past year. We had salad, bread rolls, red potatoes, mixed veggies, roast chicken breast, prime rib, and cheese cake on the menu.:yum: Everyone was in a good mood. Celebrating myself a little after I got home from work with a BIB night. Old Forester BIB is first on the list. :grin:

Moved on to some FR SB OESK. Wish I had bought more this particular barrel when I had the chance.

A VG The Fox. A very nice transition from Bit O Honey on the nose and early palate, to mild cinnamon at the end.

Fighting Cock, which along with Old Crow Reserve, is now in regular mixer (club soda) rotation.

Opened my first RR10 tonight. Was not impressed with it neat, but the second pour had a bit of water added to it and it seemed like a completely different bourbon to me. Opened up very nicely with just a bit of the Turkey punch to it.

Next up will be the CEHT SmB nightcap. I'm a month behind on the BOTM.

Sampling a bit o Larceny tonight, pondering if Ill grab more with the new rebates. With the 1.75 rebate it comes out to about $8.50 a 750.....not bad at all. its gotta be one of the heaviest 1.75 bottles Ive come across.

methinks a new one may come home soon.

the only thing on the shelves that im contemplating bringing home is MM46. The $31 tag is tempting me.

Henry McKenna Single Barrel, while doing a system update release...

(While the unopened OFBBs and EC21 call out to me..."Open us and drink...")

Started with GTS first and now trying a side by side of RHF and CEHTsmB. Hard decision

Had a few friends over to sit on the patio with cigars and whiskey, and I put a bottle of Wathen's SB and Taos Lightning on the table. Both serviceable but not remarkable. One of my friends brought Fighting Cock, which brought a smile to my face as I was smoking a Ghurka Ghost and it paired quite nicely with it.

Bloody hell, I'd snatch someone's hand off for MM46 at $60 over here! It goes for somewhere near the $100 mark.

Anyhoo, last night reached for the Willetts Pot. Added some ice for some strange reason - not bad though.

Got invited to an impromptu tasting before dinner last night. Great lineup. I had some Booker's 25th, PHC POH, Jeff 25, and Crown Royal XO.

Did a little blind SBS with my ol' standby SB Blend (60/40) and a 70/30 mingling of the same (both heavy on OWA). The 60/40 seemed to have more bite tonight than the 70/30, which blew my mind. I preferred the 70/30, but going to do this a few more times before making a larger batch.

Last night saw the end of a bottle of OGD114, '09 Pappy 15 and WFE 11yo. The last pour of the Pappy and WFE were each the best pours of their respective bottles. The OGD114 was pretty consistent throughout. Now I have room to open up some new ones tonight! (Though I'd be better off continuing to work on what I already have open.)
