Not bourbon, but did a tasting of some George Dickel this afternoon - the No 8 and No 12. Approached them more thoughtfully than I had my sole purchase of GD in the past, although still walking away thinking "Corn whiskey, eh!" I think if these were labeled as corn whiskey rather than Tennessee whiskey, I would like them more for whatever reason :lol:

KC tonight and on the pet front... I prefer the company of my cool cat to at least 90% of the people I know. Yes, I probably need to meet more people.

Makers 46. This is my second or third pour from this bottle (first one or two pours were about a week and a half ago). Still not sure what to think. There's just a weird note on the nose and a corresponding weird flavor note on the palate. I assume this if from the oak staves. Not sure yet how I feel about it but it hasn't grabbed me yet.

I will join the guys above me with some HH6BIB after this to give my taste buds something they like.

ALERT! ... Thread Drift; for which I apologize in advance...

I just wanted to express my appreciation to the several folx who posted their kind and considerate words here to help ease my grief upon the recent passing of my favorite pookie-girl: Sabrina.

Thanx so much for your thoughtful posts.

Condolences to you, Rich. That's a tough one. A few years ago I lost a cat that had been my companion and the only constant in my life for the 17 years she was here. Funny how we get attached to the critters. I'll be sure to raise a glass to the two of you.

A healthy pour of 2013 OFBB while getting into season five of Justified. I find I drink much more while watching this show than any other except maybe Mad Men. Monkey see monkey do I guess.

Having a pour of ETLC for the season premiere of Justified. Regular ETL has appeared on the show, so I figured it was appropriate.

Today was the first day I felt normal after recovering from the flu. I decided to get back into swing of things with CEHT SmB.

It's a BIB kind of night. HH6BIB for starters and I'm feeling some OGDBIB for the follow up.

I don't know if it's the airtime or a palate adjustment, but the HH6 has really been striking me as a nice pour that punches far above it's weight.

I know that feeling. It's been three weeks now and I am still not at 100% but all my bourbons/ryes are starting to taste better.

Went with the Bernheim 7yr wheat last night for a change a pace and it was a good decision. Had another pour.

I'm having some very small comparison pours of things I don't have too often. (Not bourbons to this point)-

So far:

Crown Royal Hand Selected Rye (Like this more and more)

Balcones Single Malt (Better than many scotches I've tried).

I plan to move on to:

Dalmore King Alex

High West Campfire

Balcones Brimstone

then maybe a little Cognac

Today's line up. I've been in the mode of emptying out my open stash and bar.

V23 rye and three GTS.

Already in my second from left.

Cheers
