Frustrating day at work today. :banghead: Got home, and I'm enjoying a couple of pours from a PS FRSB. :falling:

Cheers! Joe

Had another glass of the JPS21 just to check for defects, now finishing things up with a glass of RR10. Lots of good baking spice/apple pie notes with an underlying sweetness. Looks like its decanter time has proven fruitful. Was very closed off when I first opened it.

A retail select '03 EWSB. Great oily mouthfeel, and leather and semi-sweet caramel over the palate. The finish is chewable and lasting. I just love the EWSB's, and always look forward to its release every year.

CEHT SB. Kids next door have strep throat. I'm medicating heavily.

I agree, Kyle. I've had several EWSB '02s (a retail pick, a standard shelf bottle, and a Virginia ABC pick which I liked enough to go get more of before it disappeared). I liked each of them better than the 2003s and 4s although I will buy the later ones when the current bottles are gone. If something else doesn't grab me first.

had some HH6BIB at a friend's porch gathering/dinner tonight. It's been a while since Ive had any. Good, reliable, and cheap!

Elmer T. Lee. Not getting a whole lot on the nose tonight, but the palette is wonderful as usual. I wish it was more readily available around here.

I'm noticing an EWSB trend the past couple nights......but I can't participate.

Finished off my first bottle of the 112.8 WTRB. A mighty fine bottle it ended up being after starting out too hot and one dimensional. Got a couple more stashed away along with some 108's.

Ending the evening with a little OGD114, because you know......everything goes better......

Agree with this because the last couple bottles of the std stuff just isn't up to snuff, IMHO.

I'm glad you posted this. I gave a bottle of regular production McKenna BIB a try, and while it isn't bad by any means, I was hoping for better. I'm glad it isn't just me. I will definitely try a store select when I can find one.

Sitting down to watch the Super Bowl champion Seahawks in the season opener against the Packers. A powerhouse matchup like this calls for a powerhouse whiskey so Mr. Stagg Sr. gets the call.

So good to have football back.

:drink:04 EWSB, aged 10 yrs and 1 month. Many here have noted that they prefer the 03, but I can't find anything wrong with this variation and this bottle sure is pouring itself down dangerously fast!

high west prairie reserve followed by a freshly opened WTKS barrel 51 bottled on 11/20/13 - think this will get better with the oxygen doing its trick

Needed an easy sipper while heating up leftovers for dinner (crockpot brisket w/root veggies, it's even better on the second or third reheating...), so I selected FRYL which turned out to be the exact right choice.

Taking another stab at the JPS21 today. Not getting much in the way of vanilla, just a bunch of bananas and chocolate. Some nail polish remover/permanent marker on the nose, but I've always liked that smell, so I'm good with it. Bit of fruit on the finish. Definitely different than earlier in the week. I woke up not feeling so great this morning, so maybe my taster is off. Either way it still tastes great, just different.

ETL to start off the night. This is the bourbon that got me into this obsession. God bless Elmer for showing me the path!
