What bourbon are you drinking? Spring 2015!

[Jazz Nut]

A small pour of EWSB 2004 Store Pick (Ken and Norm's S. Minneapolis), and comparing it to the 2005, it's much more aromatic, oaky, and powerful. I may have to go back and see if they have more!

Last night after starting with EWBIB (and getting some marvelous flavors at the end of the pour) I decided to up the ante on how good HH whiskey can be and poured a hefty PH POH and was once again thoroughly impressed with how good a 10 yr old bourbon can be. Tonight, I'm staying with HH but going with "regularly available" EC12. Marvelous. It's still amazing to me that just a few weeks ago I was quite sure I didn't like EC12 and here I am now with only a couple pours left in my bottle. Hmmmm.......what else should I revisit now?

I think I'm due for a revisit on EC12 as well. I thought the oak influence was bothering me previously, but now I'm wondering if its not actually a misunderstanding between me and HH's menthol characteristic, which I've finally wrapped my head around in other releases.

Also, I totally miss Doug chiming in and defending our mutual love of <10yo HH. I wonder where that guy is. Hope he's OK.

Needed to refresh and balance my palate last night so I stuck with OGDBIB 100%. Lord I love this bourbon.

Polished off the remaining 2/3rd of a bottle of High West Bourye (2d release) last night with a couple friends - enjoyable stuff indeed.

Enjoying my first pour of Old Forester Signature in years. A little hot up front, but after it calms down a bit, a really nice version of the OF flavor profile shines through. Another great $25ish bottle.

I have to agree with you on this 100%. OFSig is, in my opinion, a very good bourbon without consideration of price, and the low price only makes it that much more appealing. Every time I pour it I am again impressed.

I have some early 60s bonded OF and while it is very very good, I can't really say it is better than new OFSig. That is not something I can say about any of the other dusty versions of current offerings that I have on hand.

Some 4R OESQ. I will be on the 4R rain for some time yet as I seek to empty opens before cracking any newbies which is just fine by me as I am really enjoying this trip!!

Lately I've been working my way through an SB Blend I vatted up last August. One more pour to go. I'm in another purge mode, finishing off bottles that are in range one at a time.

Virgin Bourbon 101 for me.

[GaryT]

Last pour of a dusty Ezra Brooks. Might have been the best $5 I ever spent (200 mL)

Hoping that the Gamecocks have a prayer by sweeping LSU this weekend, I'm drinking my customary shot of Fighting Cock 8 year in a Fighting Cock glass. They need all the luck they can get.

[El Vino]

FR OBSF private barrel from Spec's that I muled back from TX. With a Kentucky Fire Cured ciigar with my son (back from college). My God I missed him!

Tonight some W.L. Weller 12 Yr. Old.

[bigmzungu]

CEHT SB tonight. Just cracked the bottle and it is excellent

[Hop]

In keeping with my recent theme of working on open bottles I'm drinking HM10BIB bottled on 9/28/2001

[BB Slim]

EC12 tasting particularly good tonight.

[fozzy71]

Side by side of 2 freshly opened bottles (never had either of these yet) to get my shelf of open bottles more weighted bourbon > rye.

Now moving on to a Ledgers Liquors/East Bay Study Group Barrel #4 OBSK. I've nursed this puppy for nearly 6 years now, and it is as great as I remember. There are times when a whiskey hits me "Right", and times when the same whiskey misses my sweet spot. This one has been way more the former. Tonight is no exception. I plan to keep being judicious in my sampling from this bottle to try and keep it available as a baseline for OBSK picks into the future, and I expect it will hold up for several more years. What a great pick by EBSG.

[bingstein]

Thought this one had less in the bottle than it did. Oh well

[El Vino]

Dang nice EV. Good for you and your boy! I'm sipping on a 1792, and sending a toast y'all's way.

:toast:

Life is good. Thanks!!

OFBB13. Only a pour or two left. Will be sad to see it go.
