What bourbon are you enjoying? Summer 2015!

[Golzee]

EC12, after this I am not sure what I will have. Might switch to a rye or get down with some RHF.

[SLOandSteady]

Started with some Diplomatica Reserva Exclusiva rum before enjoying some SAOS 7YR Rye

[Paddy]

Back and forth between U of L/Clemson and Broncos/Chiefs...with a little bit of OF BIB, of course.

[Pjcowboy]

BT x2, ER then 60/40 OWA/12 may finish w/ Sweat Wheat

[whiskeyagonzo]

Doing a little SBS with two exceptional bourbons. The clear winner is......me. Honestly both are very different animals and both very tasty.

Also drank an OBSO I picked up in the GS. One of the two final picks from Jim.

[Jazz Nut]

That Four Roses night looks great! I am finishing the evening with PHC POH, and a small pour of Springbank 17 Sherry Cask.

[flahute]

It's a BIB night so far. EWBIB, JB Bonded........still not decided on the follow up. OGDBIB is the likely choice.

Three 100 proof whiskies, all under $20. One of them $13. What a country!

Is that the Fresh Sherry released earlier this year? If so, jelly.

Yes, I bought two bottles to celebrate a promotion at work, and it just so happened when I got the promotion, the Springbank Fresh Sherry 17 y/o was just released! I can point you in the direction of where I found it in Minneapolis, if you're interested, I believe they still have 3 or so bottles. I am enjoying the bottle a lot now, but it's taken a lot of air time, now the bottle is about 2/3 full, and it's much better. Honestly, I may still prefer Springbank 12 CS, or Springbank 15 for regular pours. I actually get more sherry flavor from the Springbank 15! But I knew it was a special bottling, so I picked up two.

Thanks but I had 2. Still have 1 bunkered. It didn't last long. Just trying to put off opening my last one. So good

Drinking some KC last night, on the rocks, which is unusual for me. Going down a little too easy. One more and I definitely would have been over-served. I was walking the line as it was.

[pooch]

Last night, while watching Narcos (if you have netflix, why arent you watching this show?) I opened with Michter's Toasted Barrel from last year and then followed it up with this year's Chef's Collaboration. Trying to get rid of the latter to make room for a new open bottle. Its ok, but nothing special.

[jeffrey r]

Was out at an event last evening, and had pours of Knob Creek and Baker's on the rocks, which were just fine. Got home and had a pour of 127.2 EHTBP, and that was better. Just terrific stuff, the newish 129 proof and new 127 proof EHTBP.

[JDSmith619]

Agreed, great show. Enjoyed a bottle of BT SB with a bunch of guys while the Chiefs choked.

[LCWoody]

I reached way back in the cabinet an pulled out some Weller 12y. Good bourbon.

[fozzy71]

Having a little pour from my austin nichols labeled WT80, not bad for an older 80 proofer. Not sure if I will go back for the other 2 bottles or not yet but might consider it.

[chrisg]

Having some Stagg Jr 67.2%.

[M777]

Eagle rare 10 neat. One of my go to's.

[mbroo5880i]

Eagle rare 10 neat. One of my go to's.

Always a favorite of mine. I have had some super ER10s over the years. I have an unopened bottle waiting for cooler weather. Right now, I am enjoying a few pours of FRSB.

Eagle rare 10 neat. One of my go to's.

That is some good stuff for sure. I recall doing a SbS of that with standard BT and had a hard time telling the difference but I do have another ER and lots of BT downstairs to revisit the SbS eventually.

I moved on to the fozzy BT114 blends I made the other day: starting with 2:3 of OGD114:BT with a 3:2 mix up next then the older mix in my antique decanter of 1:1 to see if I can pick a favorite. Chances are I will need to do a proper 3 glass SbSbS again later this weekend first out of the gate to really be sure.

[Phil T]

I cracked the EWBIB I bought earlier. Very familiar HH profile, but definitely a younger tasting whiskey than HHBIB. I like it, but I'll stick to the 6yr bonded

[MDBourbon]

Some OWA

[johnnyflake45]

On the suggestion of an old, long time friend, who put me onto trying a couple of lower shelf entries about a two weeks ago, I have purchased and have had a number of pours from a handle of Colonel Lee Kentucky Bourbon for $14 and a handle of Ancient Age Kentucky Bourbon for $17. I have never tried either before and I am truly amazed at how good they are! The Colonel Lee is soft and smooth with a very nice flavor profile. It reminds me of something but I cannot figure out what. The Ancient Age is a bit sharper and brighter, with a nice hit of cinnamon on the finish.

Have any of you out there tried either or both of these? I would love to hear your thoughts, if you have. Worthy pours, for cheap money, IMHO!

[mibourbonguy]

first up was some BT, then finished off my M46.

[fozzy71]

had a pour of BT114 then some ofsig and poured the rest into my #lastpours decanter
