What bourbon are you enjoying? Summer 2015!

[Tony Santana]

Bought a bottle of Noah's Mill recently, finally cracked it open. I've had it before, but never bought a bottle. I realize its NDP stuff and can vary from batch to batch. I've never been overly impressed with it before, preferring Rowan's Creek (a cheaper bottle) in side by sides. Still, had heard the recent batches were pretty good, so gave it a shot. Was not disappointed. I'm not that great with tasting notes, but this had a fairly complex flavor, a little extra, I don't know - grainy + nutty character? Good mouth feel, good finish. Drinks lower than its proof. I might have to get another. Batch 15-18.

Last night at my friends wedding, after I gave the best man speech, I had countless JB and Ginger Ales. Say what you will about JBW, it does it's job very well.

Went out to a very special 9 course dinner last night with 5 wine pairings for those courses and I was the driver so I had to abstain from pre dinner whiskey. It was a 4.5 hour experience and I thought I may end up whiskey free for the evening but then thought better of that and had HMcKBIB when I got home. It may not be "fancy" but I thought it was fine capper to what had been a fancy evening.

I haven't had many 80 proofers since getting into bourbon as I prefer 90 or 100+ like most of us do but I like JBW just fine when out of town and that is the only option for a 200 or 375 traveler to sip on in the hotel room.

Fozz, as some of us posted on the BOTM from several months ago discussing JBW, it may not appeal to some of us straight or on the rocks, but when mixed with Coke or Pepsi - 50/50 for me - it is almost impossible to beat. About the only thing I like better in COke or Pepsi is JB bonded which I have to be carfeful with as I'll drink it like water on a hot day.

Right now, I'm watching my alma mater (from 45+ years ago) lose. Drowning my sorrows such as they are - more about how long ago it was that I cared - with JJ Bowman Single barrel 100 proof. Finishing this bottle before it spoils; may have to open another to make sure it is ok. I just love rainy days with college football on TV.

Had many glasses of OGD 80 with ice at a wedding last night. Pretty tasty stuff. And a couple pours of Evan Williams 2004 vintage from the flask lol

[chrisg]

Had a BT/Stagg Jr Blend after letting it sit a few weeks. Pretty tasty stuff.

[Hop]

Trying to enjoy a VOBBIB. Not sure yet very hot on the start then the corn stands out but the finish is appealingly long and buttery...

[Red One]

After some tasty beers at a local beer fest today, it's bourbon tonight. Starting with Blantons. Cheers!

[fozzy71]

05 EWSB hoping it knocks back this headache. Plan is to start at the lowest proof bottle I have open and work my way up the scale, which could take a while....

[BigRich]

A little 50/50 OGD114/BT while cooking dinner. Now on to some William Heavenhill

[KyleCBreese]

The past couple of days, I've had OFBB14, Barterhouse, Virgin 101, SAOS Rye, Willett 2yr Rye.

[gopoohgo]

Stagg Jr. Batch 3. About to wash it down with some Four Roses store select.

[fozzy71]

Made it up to 94 proof with the help of EC12. Next up is Blantons, RHF and OFSIG and , then GD12:OGD114, BT:OGD114 and beyond...... Bakers, MMCS, RRSiB and WTRB. So many good open bottles right now.

Edit: decided to pull the Blantons and MMCS out of the rotation since they are only pints and no point sipping on them after so many pours of lesser bourbons

Edit2, since I can: screw top on ofsig threw me for a loop after so many corks...

had some RR Rye, now working on some MMCS. Fozzy I hope your headache goes away, and that you aren't trading the one from tonight for one tomorrow

I had to look that up, and found this:

I'm sure it was all in the name of science and journalism

edit: you're missing out on the mmcs, definitely hit the spot tonight

Started the weekend off with HMc BIB. Since then I've been having a cult meeting with a 11yr 9 month BS OBSF and a store pick standard 4RSB.:grin:

[Mardbrown]

Elmer T Lee for me. It's been awhile.

Rock Hill Farms. Bought two more bottles today.

[Paddy]

Started with Woodinville Whiskey straight bourbon this afternoon because I bought it today and was curious, but am now joining the cult meeting with 4RSB which will be promptly followed by some OBSO.

[BigBoldBully]

Kirkland - first time having it, damn is this stuff fiery. Tried vatting it with KCSB as originally planned, adds flavor but does little to tame the fire. Amazing how a 103 proof can be sooo much hotter than a 120.

[OutlawSW]

ECBP 128.something, I don't remember what batch that is but its real good.
