Sean, the Tornado is overrated IMO. Great story weak bourbon. YMMV.

I loved the Tornado the first time I had it. But each time after it's been pretty average. I agree though, YMMV.

Got together with Wainwright last night and we sipped through the following: High West 16yr, ER 10/101 NOLA, 1789b FR OBSF, P&M FR OBSF, 1789b FR Yellow Label, 1789b FR LESmB, Bowman 18yr 138.6 GS, Bowman Rye TPS #1 136.4, Ten High Ten, WTRB 1994, and Julio's Loch & Key KCSB. It was a great night of some stellar bourbons and ryes...

On travel for two weeks, and threw a bottle of bulleit in my suitcase for nightcaps. Its drinkable neat, hates water, and tastes a little young. A couple of years back this was my go to, and now I am looking for a coke to mix it with. Tastes definitely have changed.

This Rock Hill Farms bourbon is spot on gorgeous, this evening. It's saying something when a $50 whiskey is drinking even more richly...What viscosity! I'm not sure any of the bourbon from the sides of the glass are ever going to make it back to the pool left in the bottom. :yum:

I like finding bourbon in my glass after it has been sitting empty for the last 20 minutes.

So, your house is inhabited by one of them there bourbon fairies. Don't let her catch you peeking or your glass will stay empty.

Picked up a liter of Woodford Reserve from the duty free shop at O'Hare on my way back to Beijing. Has been about 8 years since I last had any and can't even recall what they tasted like back then. The one I opened last night however was pretty flat. Sweet and easy to drink yes, but pretty lacking and one-dimensional. Reminds me of a neutered OGD 114. However, I did like the initial nose on it as it was very bright and fruity, if not a little too sharp after the first half-second of smelling.

Put it in the meh category

Pennsylvania right? Only 180 bottles were available.

I was thinking about ordering one of these and *poof* they were gone.

Sippin' on a newly purchased bottle of Bulleit, while relaxing after a day on the road. Unfortunately, this whiskey seems to have lost it's sparkle. I've also notice this in recent pours at various bars and restaurants. Muted nose, just decent over my palate, and total loss of the bling on the finish, like I remember. Seems like a watered down version of it's past self, and painfully dull. Too bad, really.

One, damn nice bottle, though. And, I don't mean that facetiously. I appreciate a nice presentation, and the Bulleit package has been a good one since going to this style bottle.

Sipping on some Hirsch Small Batch tonight. This is my second bottle of this and I've enjoyed both, so will have to procure another bottle or two.

a fatty of Booker's tonight, hoping for some sweet relaxation tonight before tomorrows test

seems a bit much tonight, a little hot and burning as it reduces the endotheilium that were my inner cheeks into a limp lost loose flap of stinging meat.

stupid me, Im going back for verification!

Started with an ER store selection (fantastic), then went to a Rittenhouse Rye BIB, and will likely finish with a pour of Bakers. I've had worse nights.
