What bourbon are you drinking? Summer 14

[flahute]

Having a second pour of the OESQ. Dang....this is really good. Sometimes I think I should just buy up all the 4R Private Selections I can find (along with a few Single Barrels and Small Batches for good measure) and be done with it. So many flavor profiles and choices, all of them good.

I have had this exact discussion w friends and we all agree that what you say would lead to "Bourbon Zen" as someone posted here recently. But then something else shiny and new gets released and the Pavlovian hunt response takes over:grin:

Plowed through quite a bit of SAOS6 last night. I think I'm in the midst of another purge. Seems to go in 6 month cycles. Accumulate, then make room.

[George]

Having a little MM today.

[kcgumbohead]

Yup that's what I do.

Going with some ECBP diluted down to 100 proof, which I guess would make it EC12BIB.

Picked up some Medley 12 today. Read nothing on it but this is Orphan Barrel stock right? Exact same nose... A good pour for a 12 year not available in my area.

[petrel800]

A pour of HHSS tonight

[Mardbrown]

Belle Meade then Evan WillIams BIB

And now OGD BIB

Been on the road all day and finally got comfortable with a nice pour of Baker's. This is really a nicely done and well balanced easy drinker. Very smooth for its proof. Not much to dislike at all.

Really hating that I was not able to make the gazebo. I'm sure the tall tales have given way to the feats of strength by now. :duel::banghead::icon_pidu:

[ccleve23]

Trying this blend of WTRB and Bernheim wheat. It is quite tasty.

[LCWoody]

Having some SAOS 7y tonight.

[393foureyedfox]

a day of working on the Fox project....taking apart a 351W to use as a core for the 393 stroker. Tomorrow, I will clearance the bore skirts for the rods, then its time to drop it all off at the machine shop. I'm excited!

having some HHBIB gold tonight. Decent, but mostly just something to get the job done when you want a relaxer that's cheap.

4R SB and some SAOS 8yr bourbon.

Medley 12 is one-off contract-distilled bourbon. It doesn't have anything to do with Diageo's Orphan Barrel series.

It's basically 12 yr age stated Wathen's (which has no age statement). I've got a bottle. Although it didn't rock my world, I'll still enjoy finishing it a great deal!

Medley 12 is one-off contract-distilled bourbon.

Refresh my memory please, who made it?

Refresh my memory please, who made it?

Sorry TBT, this was my question. I know it's not Diageo. I meant it has a similar profile to the orphan barrel. I assumed they came from same, albeit younger, stock.

Orphan Barrel stock = Old Charter stock from Bernheim. 12 years ago, Bernheim was making HH products. There is no 12 year "Orphan Barrel stock."

[Josh]

Doesn't Wathen's have an 8 y/o age statement?

[bourbonfoot]

Right, understand. I remembered some talk about Charles Medley sourcing his new stuff from Bernheim stock. I wasn't suggesting this was in any way owned, distributed by Diageo. Old Bernheim, New Bernheim, it's gets confusing. I should've just stated it reminded me of the same profile.

Going with some ECBP diluted down to 100 proof, which I guess would make it EC12BIB.

Decided to make a full decanter of this 100 proofer, what a beautiful color:

[Mardbrown]

Dcbt. That color is beautiful and kudos on the decanter setup as well.

[Mardbrown]

Don't know if this counts but I'm having buffalo trace bourbon cream on some rocks. Waiting for eagles skins game.

[Flyfish]

Usually I drink FC during South Carolina games but was at daughter's house and son-in-law only had WT81. Turned out better than I expected. Especially in the second half.

[squire]

My question was if Medley 12 is indeed a special one off made under contract then who made it?
