Just opened a new bottle of OWA and having a small pour with a splash of water. Tasting pretty good today!

^^^ Drinking mine neat. Great way to start the weekend. I've got plenty in the bunker, but I would sure like to try a barrel selection to see if there is a big difference from the [consistently outstanding] current standard bottling.

A homemade Sazerac cocktail. Usually I use Rittenhouse, but decided to try Four Roses SmB tonight. Much prefer the Ritt version.

I saw some lonely bottles on the shelves downstairs when doing some laundry so I brought up 3 open bottles: EC12, BT and my OGD114/Ritt vatting.

SBS of BT with a Single Barrel Store Select was interesting, now back to the standard BT to try and kill the bottle.

Having a pour of a private selection OWA I grabbed this week. Flavor profile is pretty much the same as regular, a little more rounded and softer, but it has a much better mouthfeel to it... Nice viscosity.

Cheers everyone!

Had a great day at work today and it calls for a celebration so WLW '14 it is. I do love a barrel proof wheater. Sipping it slow and getting the most out of it. The celebration will continue with some GTS next.

Only one store by my house has 354 available, it is not terrible, but I think I prefer regular old Early Times for $5 cheaper. But 345 is worth a purchase if you ever find a bottle.

Finished up with a 4R kind of evening with a 11 yr 9 month PB OBSK.

I was drinking RHF last night and pondering how it is both different from, but also like, Blanton's. I think I am going to do a SBS since I like them both and want to refine how they are different.

Similarities include:

1. Pretty bottle.

2. Kind of pricey

3. Top tier hand selected bourbons offered by BT (other than BTAC and PVW)

4. More on the mild-and-refined side of things, as opposed to the bold-and-in-your-face side

5. Really easy to drink, as in looking down at the glass and finding it empty without really remembering that you drank it all.

I did a BT comparison a while back- ETL, Blanton's and RHF. I liked the RHF by a wide margin. Seemed smoother than the other two, just as tasty. I don't know why ETL is so coveted, unless it's for the price- $26 vs $45 for RHF and $50 for Blanton's.

I like the CEHT single barrel better, though (different mashbill).

Well, I did it again, a nice little pour of WLW 125.3 while waiting for the coffee to brew.

My bourbon consumption has diminished in recent times but I really love a little bourbon to start a day. Maybe I should retire sooner rather than later.

I second that thought Will. Retirement means everyday is Saturday.

Drinking some Stagg Jr batch #3. Better neat, than when adding water.

My wife is retired and you're right everyday for her is a Saturday. She frequently asks me what day is it.

I have a goal of working 45 years in the lab, that won't be until November of next year.

Finally finished pressure washing porches, decks, and stairs. I'm getting to old for this.

Back on topic resting with a final pour of SAOS 7 yr. I do believe there is another bottle or two in the basement bunker.

Having a very healthy pour of Dickel Rye with a splash of H2o. Dam good stuff!

Decided to pull out the '96 Old Forrester 125 proof. It is a shame they don't produce this as a regular offering.
