I didn't want to risk my 4R LE's on a questionable palate so I followed the VOB6BIB with SAOS10yr, which I already know I'm kind of "so-so" on, and found that I prefer VOB6BIB.

Following that with KCSB because I'm looking for something strong to combat this sore throat and it's delivering as always. No Beam funk in this one.

This morning I dusted off a WLW 134.8 and made its initial pour. On initial entry I'm wishing it could be 16.9 proof lower. It does have a very nice finish. I wonder what a few drops of water would do to this pour. Very small sips also help to minimize the effects of the higher alcohol concentration.

Have a wonderful (legal) 4th everyone!

(I'm reserving The Stars and Stripes (Arthur Fiedler Boston Pops) and The Star Spangled Banner (Hendrix) until tomorrow.)

Have a great day everyone!

After a very long yuck day at work yesterday got home late only to be reminded repairing a toilet not flushing was on the agenda, back to town to HD, back to the house, toilet repaired and myself rewarded with a couple three finger pours of MMCS.

Thought I'd start the day off with a bit off OF Sig mixed in with my morning OJ...quite tasty I might add. Hope everyone out there has a good holiday and drive safe to wherever you're going.

wives went out to dinner the other night so a couple of friends came over (we were supposed to go out for dinner, too), but we sat for a couple of hours and sampled bourbon.

that's a nearly empty bottle of 2008 4R LE SB (OBSK), which is one of my all time favorites. pretty sure I have at least 1 (maybe 2) more in the bunker.

Kicked off my holiday by polishing off my bottle of Eagle Rare. It was after noon, so i figured the holiday drinking could commence! Planning on following up with the Batch 2 Stagg Jr I just picked up.

Had a FRSB OBSV last night to start the weekend. Wife had a Johnny Drum Old Fashioned that was actually quite good, though Drum is still overpriced in my area (~$26 for 750ml).

A pour of WSR after mixing up another PMP pint at 3:2 in favor of OWA. On to a pour from my #lastpours decanter, quite smooth given how many different oddball whiskeys it contains. No idea on the proof but I would estimate around 90. Was thinking about cracking the ER10 in honor of the 4th but the upstairs shelf of open bottles is a bit crowded so will probably just have some Larceny after this I think.

A little 4RSB tonite as I prepare for the funeral tomorrow. Here's to the USA, 1776-2015! It was great while it lasted!

I am sorry to hear about preparing for a funeral. I hope all goes well considering...Funerals on a holiday are always sobering (no pun intended).

Having a plan and sticking to it is always an important element of success!

Trying to figure out Windows 8 on a new laptop. Hence, a healthy pour of MMCS with one ice cube to celebrate 4 hours of uninterrupted hell. EDIT - 4 hours so far.

Spend $10 on the plugin Start8, and enjoy the stability and performance of Windows 8 with the traditional desktop start menu structure you're used to. 3yrs+ now and I haven't looked back.
