Absolutely nothing last night. Had a series of shots / vaccinations on Friday in preparation of our baby being born and felt awful yesterday. Feeling better today, though, back on that horse later!

Started with some Bernheim 7yr before moving on to WT Diamond. Wrapping up this afternoon with some Noah's Mill. Amongst so many other lovely bottles, I have overlooked this one for months - and as I sip it wonder why. Perhaps I'm blessed to have never tried the age stated variety, but for what I paid for this one, it is a very nice bourbon. Rich creme brulee with a nice balance of oak and sweetness.

Some OFS to soothe the scratchy throat from this cold. It's the only thing I have open now that is tasting OK with my congestion so I'll keep working this one all day.

Henry du Yore. Trying to power through this bottle rather than delegating it to the garbage disposal but the disposal is looking like a good option.

A little vatting of a dusty 86 proof AA, and a current, regular OWA. The mixing of the two brings out the best of both. The AA gives it the basic taste and mouthfeel of "the good old stuff" while the OWA gives it just the extra "oomph" that it needs. Quite tasty overall IMHO.

Cheers! Joe

PS. This one's for Gillman. Without his experiments in vatting, and him posting about them, I never would have come up with some of my concoctions. A few of which I've been told were pretty good. :cool: Thanks Gary. :bowdown:

You can do it. I finally finished an Old Overholt. Hard to drink. Had 3 large drinks, with plenty of sugary soda to get it down just this week. But I now have a little more cabinet space

Cabinet space is important. It is almost definitive justification to go buy more bourbon.

Finished off a bottle of Smooth Ambler Old Scout, 8-Year, Crown Liquor Selection. I have had several bottles and more in the bunker. Really like it. Followed up with Crown Selection FR OESF. Nice and minty.

Moved on to some pappy van winkle 15 year old from last year. I know that the hype is crazy around pappy Van winkle ,but damn this is a fine bourbon.

I couldn't help it I had to take a pic of my first fire of the fall season.

Jealous. It was 90 here today. AC still blasting. Almost went swimming today.

Wait a sec, you're not far from me, how the hell you making fires? Regardless, though, I noticed the horns upon closer review, hook em.

pulled the motor out of the donor car/parts car today, and sold it, so now I can get to all the stuff I really need.

then, I came in on an empty stomach and went a little too gung-ho on the WTRB, need to pace myself next time!

Opened up the Binny's pick OBSO that's been sitting on the shelf for a few months. Oh, man! This is the third 4R private selection recipe that I've tried and is by far my favorite (others were OBSK and OESQ). It has that spicy, almost peppery note that I liked in the OBSK with a huge red berry flavor that I just can't get over. I really wish I had a few of these bunkered away.

There is a south wind blowing tonight, but I could not help it I had to light a fire and cook some pork steaks and drink some good bourbon.

What is your car project? I have two 64 Buick wildcats. One is for parts but it is sometimes hard to say which one.
