What Bourbon Are You Drinking - Spring 2014

[Guy Debord]

Ordered a fish sandwich, Schlitz, and an OGDBiB for lunch on Sunday at a restaurant, sooooo good. I'm going to keep that trend going all spring into summer.

Did a blind sbs tasting of some WT101 "Old No 8 Brand" (1996) against some current WT101. Hands down, I preferred the current stuff over this particular bottle (odd as I love dusty Turkey!) Drowning my sorrows in a healthy pour of the dusty one as it begins its march to recycle land more quickly now

[smknjoe]

Good to hear, Gary. I love dusty Turkey and have not had the current stuff. I need to put that on my shopping list.

HH William Heavenhill BIB Smallbatch 11 yr. Nice pour, with a very viscous consistency. It's a big whiskey from nose to finish, and seems even higher proof and older aged than what it is, which ain't small by any means. It's a very handsome bottle, despite having that copper wire and smashed copper do-dad with "Bottled In Bond" stamped on it, like the old "craft project" McKenna BIB had. Had to use 'em up somehow, I guess! Now, HH's challenge is to figure out how they're going to incorporate 500,000 4"X4" pieces of green velvet into their next release!

Listening to some Mark Knopfler while sippin' on some BT after mowing the lawn.

Got my AAA thing back on again this evening. Just couldn't see why not!

A few pours of GBS ETL after a quick trip to Nashville and back.

Jim Beam Signature Craft Series bourbon 12 year.

How is that? Been curious about that one.

Easy drinker neat, not quite up to WTRB in my opinion.

Binny's OESV ca. 2011

[mbroo5880i]

Small pour of SA OS, 8 year, 108 proof. Just winding down from a long day.

Took my exam today, and feel good about it, though wont know results for days. Mrs Fox asked how I wanted to celebrate and I said I wanted BBQ and bourbon, so we went to her friend's brothers restaurant, a great little BBQ joint in southern Indiana called "Feast", where I ordered a slab of ribs, baked beans, tater tots and a double Old Ezra 101 neat. Having been too nervous to have eaten much all day prior to the test, the Ezra did a number on me, and the food was awesome. Then I came home and fell into a bourbon and BBQ induced coma for an hour.

Tucker: is that label a misprint? I wouldn't imagine 11 day old whiskey to be that great. It has to be 2011 like your post suggests right? I couldn't imagine Jim Rutledge would let that get through. How was it? I'm looking forward to cracking my OESV bottle. Even though they are identical from that barrel that's still cool you got bottle #1.

That makes much more sense! Thank goodness.

Congrats on getting past your board exam. Good luck on the results. I'm sure it's a great feeling to have it behind you. BBQ and bourbon is a great way to celebrate.

70/OWA : 30/W12 SB Blend to finish things off, tonight.

[Tucker]

That makes much more sense! Thank goodness.

Asked and answered, so I'll add that at 118 proof it needed a little water to smooth it out. Hot.

And, if I recall correctly, every bottle on the shelf was "1 of 167" .

[bingstein]

Nummy. And yeah I need to clean my kitchen so I used a filter.

[smknjoe]

You going to send a sample of that my way bro? :skep:

[zillah]

Started the night with some ETLC and then opened my new bottle of Jim Beam Single Barrel. I'm......not impressed.
