What bourbon are you drinking? Spring 2015!

[jfw]

Store selection of Weller 107. Proof positive it's doesn't have to be expensive to be a really great bourbon. Pretty much as good as any bourbon out there and only $20.

[johnnyoski]

On my second pour of a store select BT. Just picked up a 375'r but might have to go back this weekend for a handle.

[Hop]

So it's been VSOF, OFBIB, SAOS10, and then looking for a little something to cap off the night I settled on Hancock's Select, not a big proofer so I was a little apprehensive since everything so far tonight was 100 but this little 89'r is holding its own very well

Sharing a couple of healthy pours of BT with a new friend. Cheers

ewsb 04. so far my least favorite.

Started with a classic, Old Charter Proprietor's Reserve 13yr (Frankfort). First time trying it. It was pinched and muted at first but opened up nicely after 10 minutes or so. Sweet and corny in a good way. I look forward to see how this one evolves.

Finishing the night with an old standby, WT101. A contrast in spiciness. Tasting young in comparison, which is not a flavor I usually get from WT. (The OCPR 13 definitely had some wood present).

Bourbons from different eras.

[Fort Knox]

Started off tonight by opening up a new bottle of 1792. The first pour was good, but had a bit more sting on the tongue than I expected, especially with as much Booker's as I've had lately. Followed it up with a couple of pours of Hudson Four-Grain, mostly because I was trying to finish off the bottle to make a little room on the bar. Not terrible over a big cube of ice, but I definitely won't be buying another bottle.

Last night I had a bit of EWSB 2004 followed by FR SB.

[JDSmith619]

Last night SAOS 7yr while watching the Royals....glad baseball is back!

[typoerror]

You have to tell me how to open the EWSB bottle. The wax seal seems impenetrable.

i just yanked the tab quick and hard. wax shards flew everywhere...

[unclebunk]

Couldn't decide what to pour after freezing my ass off cutting the grass for the first time in 2015. (The temps aren't terribly low but the high winds made it feel pretty damned chilly.) I figured I'd go for the high octane before the kids got home from school, so WLW (2009) was the call. Good stuff but that's the end of the yard work!

[chooch714]

Just got home from work...hot and thirsty! So, I am enjoying a WT101 with a splash of ginger beer. Will transition to something neat after dinner.

Hancock's Reserve. Starting the night the way it ended last night

[MTNBourbon]

Some Four Roses Small Batch tonight, waiting for the RedSox game.

[PaulO]

After going back to the 7 year Bernhiem Wheat on several occasions, I don't think it tastes different than the NAS version I had a few years before. It reminds me of Old Fitz, with most of the flavors muted. Compared to most bourbon or rye, this seems to have almost no taste. I can't call it good or bad. Next time, I'd go with Larceny instead.

[LCWoody]

Having some Stagg Jr. over an ice ball. It's one of the few things I drink with an ice ball that benefits from it.

[Hop]

EWSB from 2003 another of my open bottles I hadn't been into in a while.

[MDBourbon]

You're not kidding. Mine could survive reentry and have wax leftover.

[BigRich]

A little WTRB 112 watching the last few Justified episodes.

[glassjapan]

Having some FR single barrel. It's hitting the spot and tonight it seems a little fruit forward. I love that and i look forward to trying other recipes that push that taste even more.

[jakerthesnaker79]

I am with you on this one glassjapan.

I am all in on this private label four roses from a nearby store. great stuff!

wishing the hawks were playing tonight!

Well, now, I guess it's just a 4RSB kind of night. Having my second as I do the dishes and watch/listen to Cards-Nats.

[dcbt]

Having some Stagg Jr diluted down to 100 proof while I wait for Mavs-Rockets to start. Batch 2, still haven't tried batch 3.

[MAKEITOUTOFWOOD]

I'm out of town this week. Stopped at a nice bar ordered a double of 4 roses smb. Was given a huge pour. Then I ordered a double of larceny. Another huge pour. Bill came $7.50 for the 4r $5.50 for the larcany. Being from ny I'll take those prices everyday. The pours where triples if not slightly more.

Back at at the hotel now sipping BT for a night cap. Cheers

Very nice. Yes, being from NY as well, I would gladly accept those prices. The sweetener being the over pour. :grin:
