mbroo5880i Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Got a room downtown to celebrate with my wife. We packed an open bottle of Booker's and had a pour for early happy hour. We ordered the following between us, EH Taylor - good citrusGarrison Brothers - hers, it was the least impressive Garrison release I've sampled but only had a taste.(these were ordered at the 1/2 price happy hour at the Chavez.) / beer break / change locations /Knob CreekHigh West Double Rye, she liked it Rittenouse Virux CarreMitchner's Rye, hadn't had it before, wasn't moved to put it on the buy list.I finished with a Bulliet.Was tempted to order a Saz 18, but it was too expensive, and knew she wouldn't be happy if I tried to order the Willett 21. It was on the menu but didn't see it on the shelf. Need glasses so I can see what is hiding in the back rows.Sounds like fun! What are we celebrating? The rest of us want to join in!

flahute Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Finished off a bottle of OGD114.Now drinking the Henry KcKenna 10 yr BIB and boy does this one keep evolving. In a really strange twist, I'm picking up a lot of oak and other flavors that were present in the WFE 25yr rye that my brother-in-law has. I didn't like that one as it was too bitter and tannic for my tastes so I'm a bit perplexed that I'm picking up the same notes in a 10yr bourbon.

garbanzobean Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Starting my afternoon off with a pour of JPS21. The banana and chocolate notes are back, though barrel influence has started to become much more prominent in the taste. Looks like this is a case where oxygen woke up the beast. Nose is still excellent. Added a bit of water, which brought out more chocolate and rye spice, and also tamped down a bit on the huge oak notes. This is my 4th or 5th time tasting my bottle of JPS21, and I'm going to go ahead and call it: This is pretty good stuff. Oxygen hasn't done it any favors, though. I don't feel at all like I wasted my $110. I don't think I would buy another bottle of this for myself, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy one as a gift for a friend.

horn1602 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm contemplating tomorrow's choice of study topics for my upcoming board exam in 3 weeks with a pour of HMBIB. Had to cut back on my consumption lately, but taking a break tonight (and likely Saturday and Sunday) before studying hits high gear and the new job starts next week. This sure is good right now...
