LCWoody Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Started the night with ER 101 from 1988, than some old lable HM 10y, and on to OFBB 14'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 ^^^^^Ohhhhhhh mannnnn.....the ER 101 is one I'm truly jealous of. Discontinued before I got into bourbon. I killed the last remaining bottle at the local bar with one of my colleagues.I'm having a banner night myself still. Started with some Willett 23yr bourbon. This is my 4th pour from the bottle and it's really turning into something special. Right after opening, the oak was present in a subtle way on the back of the palate and on the finish. I actually didn't mind it. The barrel this came from was managed properly in the cold part of the rickhouse so the oak is not overpowering. Tonight though, the oak was even more in the background, almost not there. The whiskey was thick, creamy, buttery and viscous with a rich mouthfeel. It's kind of blowing my doors off. I know the Willett's can be tricky. I scored with this one.I'm following it up with some WT101 8yr that I brought back from China. A more complex animal than the stateside WT 101 (Which I like). It's a really good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 While out today I picked up a CEHT SB and thought I'd try it this evening. Before I opened it I was struck with the notion that I have another bottle of CEHT something in one of the cabinets that I purchased at least two years ago. Pulled it out and wouldn't you know it's the same thing just a.couple of years older so I opened the older one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire going, chilly misty night, baby sleeping soundly by my side, wife conked out on couch, being home never felt so good...Accept my congratulations as well. I fondly recall the days my two came home for the first time. Now at the ages of 18 and 19 I'm looking somewhat forward to the days they leave to be on their own. Best quote I've ever heard regarding children and it's held true " the days are long but the years are short"Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

393foureyedfox Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 a friend and I met at a bar next to the movie theater that Mrs Fox and her friend were in watching a movie, then we all met and went for dinner after a few drinks at that bar. This place is known for LARGE pours and cheap prices. I ordered a Bookers and was told they dont carry it anymore, so I looked over the bar for something 100+ proof that I hadnt had before. I spotted a Dant BIB, and since Id never had any, I went for that. Familiar HH profile, but seemingly thin for 100 proof to me. Once Mrs Fox and her friend showed up, I got a WT101, neat also. much better finish on the WT. Both were nice fat 2-3oz pours for under $5 each.and, congrats DCBT!
