jeffrey r Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 ECBP 133.2, diluted with a bit of water. Really amazing stuff. I think I have one batch 1 and one batch 2 left in the bunker. Still annoyed that I left a couple of each on the shelves when they were briefly available. ECBP has gone awol in my area for the most part.

Darwin Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Rain in the valley, football on the TV so why not a generous pour of Four Roses Single Barrel. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Now having a small pour of 2003 EWSB. I guess this is a HH sort of night, having started with the ECBP. And I'll add that this particular barrel of EWSB, a 10 year 8 month 2003 bottling, is as good a bottle of bourbon I've had at any proof, any age, any price, etc. Just a tremendous barrel (I think I hopefully have one of these left in the bunker).

smokinjoe Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Rain in the valley, football on the TV so why not a generous pour of Four Roses Single Barrel. :grin: There's a saleable jingle in there, somewhere. A private select 1792 for me, tonight. Very nice dried flower/potpourri palate with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnybogey Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 enjoying some EC12 tonight.Two nights in a row!!!As a matter of fact, I think I will have a pour of EC 12 after I finish my pour of EH Taylor single barrel. I wasn't too impressed with EH Taylor when I first opened the bottle a few months back (bitter and astringent) but tonight is different, I feel the spice instantly on entry. It dissipates for a split second and then it comes back starting from the back of the mouth up to the roof. Letting this bottle open up has really improved it.

Letting this bottle open up has really improved it.I started the evening with EC12, comparing two store selects, aged in different rick houses and different floors. I don't remember the exact specs, but the barrel aged on the 6th floor ended up being 140+ proof, and the one that aged on the 4th floor was about 125 proof. Of course, both were brought down to 94 proof, dangit!Ending the evening with a side by side of Blanton's and Rock Hill Farms. Getting a bit of astringency on the RHF nose, and the Blanton's is a bit underproof, but wonderful nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Boy.....heck of a bad day! Chinese President arrived in town today and a very short notice highway closure (for security reasons) resulted in a 1 hour and 45 minute commute on the bus. While stuck on the bus and getting frustrated, I get a call from my wife - the hot water heater gave up the ghost and there's water in the basement. The ironic part of the story is that just the night before we discussed how old it was and that it was time to schedule getting it replaced. (No joke, we discussed it last night!). Damn......She works from home and did most of the heavy lifting of moving things to safety and ripping up carpet with the help of our awesome neighbor. I had a little to deal with when I got home. Currently trying to smooth out the hard edges of the day with some 4RSB. I think I'll go for another when this pour is finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a bad day it seems somewhat better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
