What Bourbon Are You Drinking - Spring 2014

[TunnelTiger]

A couple pours of Barterhouse (this is opening up more and more) and now some OWA after working through a Monday on Tuesday.

[Red One]

Having some WT 101 with a bit of ice tonight. Seems like I prefer this one with just a bit of ice rather than water or neat.

[Paddy]

AAA 10 yr while enjoying the Sam Bush Band on KET.

[Tucker]

BTEC hot box. No doubt that it's mash bill #2, and if not for the price I'd be looking for more.

[WAINWRIGHT]

FRSB LE '11 and probably my least favorite FR's of all time,damn I hate to denounce but it's true.

[elmossle]

OFBB '13 tonight. Not too many pours left, but glad to know there is a backup in the bunker just waiting to server!

just got home from work, its 3:33am and im watching married with children and a glass of bookers 7yr 1mo old batch no C06-B-15 128.9 proof 64.45%alc....oh yessssssssss

my bottle is the same batch (C06-B-15), but is 7 years 3 months and 127.1 proof.........wtf? shouldnt the whole batch be the same in specs?

[bourboNcigars]

That is odd, why or how could it be different?

[amg]

Sounds like it's time for a new outrage thread.

[squire]

Takes awhile to bottle all of a big batch.

hmmmm, never had an issue putting pics up before.....

label reads:

7yrs 3mo BATCH No C06-B-15

63.55% ALC/VOL (127.1 PROOF)

KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY Booker Noe MASTER DISTILLER

[bourboNcigars]

Here's the label on my bottle

[sutton]

They didn't have quite enough to fill Fox's bottle at the end of the run, so they just topped it off with a bit of H20 ....

[squire]

Or the first fill before the lines were purged.

[393foureyedfox]

pics will not load for some reason today. same batch number, though.

I'm really curious to know how the same batch number can be different ages/proofs.....I always took it that Booker's took batches of bourbon barrels, dumped them together, and bottled the whole lot as one batch. Is a 'batch' a whole floor/rick/whatever, and bottling is done in increments?

[TunnelTiger]

Working in a manufacturing environment for over 40 yrs I can understand the variations due to start ups, changes in products on the production line, etc.

It's not like you're cutting a light switch on and off.

Little McKenna BIB store selection, which was a little bolder and hotter than typical. For the second glass, I mixed it about 50/50 with some Old Forester SB at 90 proof. Very drinkable.

[BonVivant84]

Cracked the EC21 and havin a big pour waiting outside for the rain to roll in. Lots of green apple on the nose. Feels thick and syrupy and getting a melon note.

[smokinjoe]

"Craft project" (do I have that right? )labeled McKenna BIB, tonight.

[amg]

OGD 114 on a cube. Pretty warm here today.

[Paddy]

Another delicious couple of pours of 10 year old Ancient Ancient Age. I still swear that this is better than current ETL.
