FlounderinDC Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I'm off for 2 weeks. Was worn out after work last night so I didn't get to have any of the good stuff. Tonight I opened my 2014 OFBB...good but not amazing. It has grown on me but still not blowing my doors off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul W Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 1969 Old Crow againSince this is 86 proof I did SBS with one year old OGD 86. OGD has a much more twangy after note than the OC. The OC is very easy drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskyRI Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I'm enjoying the Old Forester 1870. Not sure of the retail price because it's left over from a tasting I did but I think it's supposed to be in the $40 range. It's solid and in a sbs with OF 86. OF100, WR, WRDO, and the WRMC 2014 Pinot it was my clear favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I did the unthinkable last evening and spilled an entire pour of D9 before I even got a sip of it. :cry:As tragic as it was, I cleaned up, reloaded and moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Several cups of coffee with OGD114 and then a bloody mary with the same. OGD114 is absolutely the best for this, the flavor in both just explodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Vino Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Last couple of pours of a private barrel selection of Jefferson's Very Old, Very Small Batch Bourbon. Where I was initially critical of its subtle character, this has become something akin to Blanton's to me - well balanced between nose, flavors and finish - a bourbon I reach for when I want a lower proof pour. Just right. More in the bunker, but think I need to get ta couple more from this barrel before it disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 '14 WLW. Finally getting this one dialed in. Needed more water than I usually add, which makes sense considering it's 140+ proof. Starting to really get the syrupy thick sweetness. Starting to really understand the fuss with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jersey12 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sipping on some PHC 6 tonight. Haven't visited this one in a long time and not really sure why. Definitely an in your face pour with an exceptionally long finish. Only about one pour left in the bottle and based on how much I'm enjoying it tonight, it'll probably be drained this week.

mbroo5880i Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sometimes I feel like a doof because I look at a cabinet full of bottles and opt for my least favorite just to "preserve" the better bottles. Last night, I didn't. I opted for FR OBSK. Tonight back to the basic pours to "preserve" the good stuff. I prefer to bring out the better bottles when I have company. Tonight's pours were WR and EC12. Actually, now that I think of it, these aren't bad pours themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustyj Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Opened up a Yellowstone pint from 1970 according to the glass. It is a 6 year age stated 86 proof. States distilled and bottles by Yellowstone Distillery Co. -- Louisville and Owensboro KY. I think I recall Owensborbo being more for bottling than distilling. The bourbon is nice, thick mouth feel for an 86p but this one is unlike previous Yellowstone's I have had in the past from the 70's. I get a lot of cherry going on with this one. Nice and sweet with some Oak in the finish. That's the best I can do in describing it. It's a nice experience but just that "nice". This one had the "mellow mash" statement on the front label.
