What bourbon are you enjoying? Summer 2016

[beasled]

A pour of Old Weller Antique. I'll admit, this one has never done anything for me and remains a bit of a mystery. Better with a spot of water or ice, otherwise I find it quite bitter.

 

Still, Cheers all!

Cracked open this puppy tonight, pretty pretty pretty good 

[LCWoody]

Having a very good pour of EWSB '04 tonight after some rye earlier.

Russell's Reserve 10-Year  -  Slow sipping this one, picking up vanilla along with the smooth oakiness.

[DonutsNBourbon]

was sick for the last week, so making up for lost time.  VoB BiB and then ER10... the ER10 was definitely the better of the two.

[MOwhisky4me]

Three substantial pours of KCSB while watching Harley & the Davidsons... Great bourbon and good entertainment.

Emptied the remainder of a family sized EC12 after pouring part off to fill a decanter (hate to leave EC bottles open with their possible cork issues)

I've only had corks to dry up after the bottle is empty and sat a while. Never while drinking or before opening. Most of the time they make a loud squeezy pop sound when Opened. Maybe I've gotten lucky?

 

Anyways enjoying some ECBP @ 139.4 proof. I have enjoyed every release, so far and this one isn't any exception. Actually it is slightly better than than the last few batches! It drinks very well neat!

4R OBSK is still tasting a little too much like ouzo. Switched to RHF.  Ahhh! That's more like it.

Abraham Bowman Wheat - Just getting into it.

I'm doing my part to maintain the price of wheat tonight. Started with some bernheim, then some maker's 46 and now a little more bernheim to watch the end of the football game. Life is good.

Where'd you find it?  My sources sold out within hours.

 

You don't really have to tell me.  But, I am jealous.

 

Myself, I finished off the last ounce or so of my one 750 of HW Campfire.  After a decent interval, I had a Blanton's store pick.  THEN, I made the mistake of watching some commentary on last night's "CIC forum with MATT LAUER!!!!"  Needed about a half a cup of OGD BIB while watching the Cartoon Channel in order to bring me back to reality.  Oooh.  Oooh.  I just heard there was an NFL game tonight - Denver v. Carolina.  How did that go?  I'm still thrilled that Payton Manning is doing commercials.  I sure hope his former team  was as entertaining.

Four Roses OESK as a nightcap. So good...

That's usually true, but I've had a EC12 cork that lost its tight fit while there was still plenty in the bottle. It leaked if you set the bottle on its side. Beware EC cork quality.

Revisiting OGD 114 tonight.  I was wrong about this stuff originally after a bad first experience.  It's grown on me.  It has a very unique flavor profile unlike any bourbon I can remember, and I'm enjoying it.

[Wedelstaedt]

Finishing off OF 1897. I have enjoyed this bottle. Also, those I have shared this bottle with, have liked it as well. 

 

1897 got off to a slow start with me, but a third of the way in, it really opened up for me.

 

will be picking up another for sure.

A small pour of WLW 134.8 neat this morning.  Powerhouse.  I still think this one is improved with a small amount of water.

Sadly, now that EC12 is no longer 12, the cork may be the least of our worries.

I cracked open my Michter's 10 2015. First, it's some good juice, the nose is the best part, I could smell it all night long, the finish is a little too dry for me but with some air in it, I'm sure it will open up. 

Cheers y'all!

I'm still hunting this one - I saw where one hit in SC at a store but it was gone quick

Still working on this:

thanks for the idea.  I've an oldie with slurp in the bottom, time to turn the bottle into a bookend & coin collector.

Did some studied tasting this evening with small samples including MMCS, MM46CS, JDSBBP, JB Bonded, and JD Silver Select.  Thrilled that the ol'factory is clicking tonight, although already giving slanted glances to the dark side shelf in the other room . . .

[BottledInBond]

Tried a little of the 16 OFBB. I like the nose. The palate was spicy, and the finish was quite dry. Definitely different from the last release that I remember trying off hand.

And during National Bourbon Heritage Month even? Oh the shame.
