BigBoldBully Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Been working on a bottle of GTS from 2012. First time I allowed myself pours on consecutive nights. I thought for a long time that GTS would be my everyday drink were it available at a reasonable price, but I was wrong. It is so sweet, to me it really works best as an occasional dessert bourbon.

willmohawk5 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 A nice pour of Rock Hill Farms celebrating the Mets win. This stuff is pretty damn good. Got it for $42 and will grab more if I see priced there or lower again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Stop the acronyms. I can't keep up. Head spinning even before tasting,.......You will find many of the common acronyms here - http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/announcement.php?f=43&a=8Before I found that thread I found that a simple google search of the abbrev with whiskey or bourbon after it would usually lead to the answer.

kcgumbohead Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 During a dizzying work week last night featured OWA which went down so well that I followed it up with some store select 1792, also delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mibourbonguy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Some EC12, now some OWA and have some MMCS on deck. Good way to end the week that wouldn't end. Having a celebration of a personal accomplishment, did a presentation in front of 80+ employees (I don't do public speaking) and it went off without a hitch.

Hop Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Opened a bottle of Blantons tonight. First pour of this I've had since May when I paid as much for a double as I paid for the bottle. It's a fine bourbon but much finer at the bottle price. Such a refined pour it's a bit hard to describe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just arrived at my parents house for a short visit and knowing there is no bourbon here except a dusty Beams Choice, I made sure to have some en route. Woodford it is when flying Delta and you know, this one was all right. During a long layover at MSP, I had a Blanton's, which I don't currently have at home. It was working this afternoon.

DeluxeReverb Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Eric Clapton gave George Harrison some great guitars to keep at his home studio, in part because he knew if George ever asked him over to play, there'd be good guitars for Clapton to play. In that spirit, I often leave a bottle of good bourbon at homes of all family members who don't drink it. I know when I get there, it's waiting for me. This has ended up turning a few of them on to bourbon. And that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
