I was thinking the same thing on BOTM!

FYI, and FWIW, the BOTM is really getting hard to do any more. I try the best that I can to come up with something that the majority of members here can relate to. I may miss a month here and there, but….. I'll do my best not to miss more than one month at a time. Any and all suggestions are appreciated, but don't be pissed off if I don't use your suggestion.

Ha, no worried, I'm always looking for an excuse to try something new.

Like anyone needs an excuse.

ER 10 last night, followed by the KBA 4RSB selection tonight (with a small cube melted in).

[LCWoody]

Having a great pour of HM 10y tonight. This is an excellent barrel. 

And Joe, you do a great job with BOTM. Their are only so many bourbons.... Keep it up. 

[Richnimrod]

Again, I started with 1792 Full Proof (& stayed there), which I just find hits me right in the face.     It puts me right in the GN Back Yard while Barton drys their spent mash.    .... Not to mention that nice cereal-forward, popcorny, nice Bourbon profile, done really well at Barton, and presented really well at 125-proof.    Yummmmmmmy!

[MTNBourbon]

A couple of pours of OWA still, about 1/4 bottle left.

Violator! You must specify...just kidding.

 

Tonight: ETL, and IW Harper 15.  First time EVER, trying ETL.  Verdict: It's really good stuff, although I think as far as the BT #2 mashbill goes...RHF is still THE king.

I was thinking . . . maybe something in the bourbon family, kind of a change of pace.

[DonutsNBourbon]

OGD114 tonight, figured I haven't seen much about this lately so I should revisit it.  not a bad pour, but not one of my favorites.

Last night I spent some time with a new four grains vat of 2 parts Bookers, 2 parts MMCS, and 1 part water (approx. 95 proof).  When I first tried it a week or so ago I got the Beam funk, even though I don't get it from Bookers itself.  But last night it had tamed itself and was much more enjoyable.

Took a good friend fishing the other day and we both brought along some tasty pours, one in particular that he brought, and told me that I would never guess it, he did tell me it was a vat, and after a few sips - I told him it was Stagg jr/AAA10 - 30/70 -- the look he gave me was total disbelief, but after all it was my concoction to begin with. Mighty fine pour there. I guessed it more by deduction rather than taste, because I know his collection and I know him. We didn't catch fish but caught a nice buzz, mostly sitting in the river in a nice shady spot on a 85+ degree day.

Having a nice pour of GTS 2015.

Haha you should change it to the Vatting of The Month.  So we can all get creative in these trying times.

[beasled]

Smooth Ambler Single Barrel 8 yr - 105.8 proof. 

 

Think this was an Astor Wines pick. Hot but tasty. 

 

Cheers all!

[PappyStagg]

Incredibly long and frustrating day at work is finally over. Kicking back with a healthy pour of 4RSB Barrel Strength of the OBSV variety, selected for Market Street Liquors in Tallahassee, FL. Feels every bit of the 114.6 proof and that is a good thing. 

[Golferpimp1]

Going with the latest batch of ECBP with a huge cube. Hitting the spot right now.

I poured two Four Roses selections - an OBSO and an OESQ - to enjoy and do a bit of C&C on the recipes.

[trufunk]

First pour of eagle rare 'twas very very good

Last night, I relaxed with 4R OBSQ @ 61.8, a "Private Selection" from a local purveyor.  I may have to do that again.  Soon.

Edited July 15, 2016 by Harry in WashDC
To change "OBSV" to "OBSQ". What . . . ???

[flahute]

It's funny how situation and environment can effect your palate. I'm at an Italian place in the Detroit airport on a layover. Said place has a decent bourbon selection.

Ordered a Booker's first as it represented the best value. It wasn't bad by any means but it's one of my least memorable Booker's pours by a long shot.

Followed with Bakers (long layover) and this is one of the best Bakers I've ever had. It helps that I got a very friendly pour. 

[MTNBourbon]

Still working on the OWA.

[$helby]

Nice poor of ETL while watching Nats/ Pirates game! 

[Charlutz]

Two pours of eagle rare and now some WSR. All over a cube and tasting good. Good night for the bourbon budget.
