What Bourbon Are You Drinking - Spring 2014

[JGriff]

Finally opened my PVW 15 yr. Celebrated some good news with good friends. Was damn good. Might try some ETL tonight. Never tasted it but heard it's good. Cheers.

You will LOVE the ETL, it's my favorite bourbon, once you try it you will be out hunting all the bottles you can find

Little ETL with Blenheim's and a splash of lemon while watching the Champions League Final

TPS 4RSB selection from about 2 years ago. Not the best 4RSB selection I've had but it's still good.

A great pour of HHSS last night while spending time in front of our fire pit for the first time this year.

Best regards, Tony

A small pour at home of '03 EWSB store selection before me and the Mrs. head out to dinner. Once out, I believe I will go with my usual FRSB on the rocks at this place.

A generous pour of Russells reserve barrel strength 55.5% nearing almost the end of the bottle and yet still on the fence to make this a regular buy to keep in the rotation, whenever I decide and say nah not gonna buy again it impressess me, then I decide to buy more I say meh don't think so..lol can't decide

Long day working in the yard. Sitting down to watch the Pacers-Heat game. Enjoyed a nice pour of Weller Special Reserve 7-Year paper label, 1999 (Louisville) pregame. Now enjoying a pour of Crown's SAOS 8-Yr.

Knob Creek Single Barrel, neat.

Stagg Jr on a cube is playing really well, tonight.

My son walks in picks up my glass of Elmer T Lee takes a small sip and says ah its ok, I thought it was just fine. I then went to Laphroaig triple wood hoping he would come and take a sip and I could see his reaction of phenolic paradise.

Noah's Mill Batch# 11-25. Pretty decent pour but I still would place it below HH 6/90 on the Price to Pleasure scale. I can taste what I presume to be it's HH origins.

4R 125th. haven't had it in awhile. still quite good.

[squire]

Well they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Went to a very nice restaurant last night that only serves locally grown and raised food - very good. Unfortunately (for me), the same ethos applies to the spirits selection. I decided to give it a go and try something local I hadn't had yet and went with Burnside Bourbon 4yr out of Oregon. Meh. Tastes very young and underdeveloped. Needs more time still. Pleasant enough to sip on, but it wouldn't replace anything currently in the cabinet. I came home and redeemed the bourbon part of the evening with some standard BT.

Tasted some mingles of WT and OF (the current 101 version and some "No 8 Brand" from 96, along with current OFS and some OF86 from 1985). Inconsistent findings from the last time I bumped these four against each other, although the OF86 was in 3 of the 4 "top 2" slots. Me thinks that the "No 8 Brand" WT101 must be fairly close to the current WT101. The 1985 OF86 is significantly different from today's OFS (besides the 14 proof points difference, which is at least halved in the mingle).

Kicking back with some GBS ETL. Lucky to have plenty on hand...a great selection.

So good. I'm already regretting giving a few away as gifts.

Some JPS18 black type batch 7. Incredible nose and mouthfeel.

Some current issue OGD BIB. Never had a beam product I enjoyed including OGD114 and this one might be the first.

Started out with a 2 oz. pour of ETL + Sprite with lots of ice to fill a shot glass. I presume Mr. Lee enjoyed it over ice. While I could taste the whiskey, the Sprite overpowered the bourbon flavor. It tasted no different than Canadian Club and Sprite from my younger days. Frankly, it was too light and dangerously drinkable for my liking. I finished it pretty quickly! Now, enjoying a 2 oz. pour of ETL with a small cube. Much better!

Old Pogue and a little ginger ale.

[kjbeggs]

Rittenhouse 100 Manhattan for starters, not sure what my follow-up will be.

Maybe some ETL 93 proof...

[393foureyedfox]

regular ol Booker's, whole munching summer sausage and habanero cheese....

Brilliant. I bet the Rittenhouse is perfect for that. Will have to try tomorrow.

Old Fitz for me this afternoon - it is really growing on me.

Weller 12 followed by Henry Mckenna 10, the Weller 12 was pretty tasty. Seems to me the Weller gets better after it is opened for a few weeks.
