Just sharing my bottle of HHSS with my mama. She's starting to become quite appreciative of different styles of bourbon, and this one really knocked her socks off. I knew she was legit when last time she was over she requested "some of that Stagg whiskey."

That's great! It's been a pleasure sharing pours of the HHSS with my family too. Nothing better than seeing your parents get that twinkle in their eyes after trying something that expands their horizons.

I'm getting into a second pour of the forthcoming VBT, after watching the Patriots get their butts kicked. Couldn't be happier. That's right, I'm from New England and I loathe the Patriots.

Started with my first ever SB blend at 60:40. First try today after it mixed a couple of hours. Quite good but still a little sooty. I think I'm going to like this but we'll see. While watching the end of the Denver game.

Going to ETL while getting ready for the 49ers game. Day two on this.

I think SB blend better than ETL actually, maybe.

Opened a bottle of Leopold Bros Maryland Style Rye for the first game. Second game has me back upstairs in the living room, egg going with a spatchcocked bird smoking with some 12yr OESK and half an ice cube. This was a great pick by Jackies, needs just a tick of water to open it up.

Some Lot B for the Seahawks game. This bottle has opened up quite nicely since Christmas Eve and I'm enjoying it a lot.

First post after reading for quite some time. Sipping on some VOB BIB, happy to find a few bottles with the age statement instead of that ugly 6 this week.

Last few pours of ER10 barrel #162. Just caramel and BBQ sauce in the last bit. Love it.

I am hitting CEHT small batch right now and was thinking about hitting the same bottle. You have convinced me! :toast:

SB blend again. Really good for me. I wasn't a believer until now. Good one on its own right.

It is great stuff! I like it better than the individual components. I normally just mix, let sit for awhile and then drink. Some folks vat it in another bottle and little it sit for a while, I wonder if that helps with the sooty taste you note?

I just made a new batch yesterday. I usually mix a batch of 2:1 W12:OWA, a 3:2 OWA:W12 and then a couple other different variations of smaller amounts to let sit. That way I have a few variations to choose from depending on mood:)

Started with an OFBB '13. What an incredible nose! Finished with a JPS 21 and EC 21. Good night full of bourbon and football.

sour old fashioned (2.5 oz bourbon, .75 oz lemon juice, dash of bitters, 2 sugar cubes, ice) using EWSB '02. although it does not excite me on its own, I really love ewsb in all sorts of old fashioneds.

Started with some ECBP batch two. Followed it up with some Old Fitz 1849 but it didn't stand a chance against the monster that is ECBP.

Started sipping Weller Antique107, then '13 Stagg, and now some '11 Stagg. Crazy how much more the '11 is bringing, even though the level was around a 1/5. Great stuff.

So much deeper, slate rock, barrel, mmmmm
