Pudsky Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Last pour for myself out of my E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof 125.4. I really enjoyed this one, thank goodness I have one left in the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcbt Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Adventures with bourbon at restaurants:"I'll have a Makers Mark neat."Waiter leaves, then comes back to verify: "you said a texas martini, right?"Uhhhh, not even close. "Makers Mark neat," I repeat.Waiter comes back with beverage, proudly declaring, "here you go, makers mark on the rocks."I repeat my order yet again. He brought me back a chilled makers mark, having clearly just strained the ice, but at least it was finally neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbt Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Previous post was at lunch with mrs dcbt to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. Now having a 2012 PVW20, just one ounce, on the patio on this fabulous sunny 70 degree afternoon, baby daughter dcbt in her carriage by my side. Not quite vacation in Florida but not too shabby.

Richnimrod Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Had a generous pour of a Russel's Reserve SmBSB (whatever the hell that means) to remind me of what I'm gonna be tasting at the barrel pick in a month or so. :grin:Followed that up with a smaller pour of Rare Breed, which I liked better in general, though the higher proof was probably the biggest difference.

My house is HOT and its March. FRSB with an ice sphere. Ive reached a new low....When I finished my pour, I sucked the ice sphere to get every drop of bourbon off of it. I feel your pain. But I also have no sympathy. My AC went out in july a few years ago. House never got cooler than 96 degrees for a week until they replaced the system. I'd get up out of bed every hour to jump in the pool. If we didn't have the dog at the time we should have been in a hotel. Looking back at it I don't know how the dog put up with it with her fur coat! Edit to add, as my mom says, "I don't know how early settlers ever stopped here without AC."

flahute Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Enjoyed some 4R SiB while watching college basketball. My alma mater lost to Kentucky yesterday so now I root for Gonzaga (the closest local team in state) so I'm celebrating that victory with some Parker's Heritage PoH. Bourbon and sports is such a good combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 other than the WR, that sounds like a perfect day! The WR was purchased for me by our hosts. Re: Being Polite vs Educating forum. My wife and I told them not to buy any bourbon for me. We told them that I'd be bringing something, or would just grab a bottle along the way or when we arrived. What can I say? FWIW, it actually was pretty tasty. It seemed to have more of the Old Forester flavor to it, and not so much of the metallic/yeasty flavor WR is noted for. A pleasant surprise.

JDSmith619 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 My Jayhawks got bounced from the tourney so I opened up my 4RSB 120th Anniversary I've been holding onto.Very fruity, but in a very enjoyable way. Wish I had opened it sooner. Will definitely be revisiting it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
