What bourbon are you enjoying? Fall 2016

EC18. Amazing nose on this. Cheers all!

The other end of the scale from EW18 for me: HH6YO BIB. Amazing bourbon for $10.

AWESOME! Maybe someday I will get one.

It's a BIB evening at the Hamilton house. Started with a Madura perfecto and CEHT SB. Sweet and tasty. Moving to Henry McKenna before dinner. Probably wind down w/staple White label EW for desert. Even a poor boy can live like a King.

The last couple of nights I've been having pours from a ps Weller SR. Good stuff.

[LCWoody]

Finished off an EWSB 2004 tonight. Then had a very good glass of Jeffersons 10y Rye, batch 12.

Due to a lingering cold, my sense of taste is just about zero.  I'm having some 1792 small batch because I don't want to drink better stuff if I can't taste it.

After a 20 hour work day I poured a RR Single Barrel PS. Next pour is a Pikesville poured with a heavy hand.

[Charlutz]

RHF. Just the right combination of syrupy sweetness with a perfectly light lingering kick of cinnamon.

It was EC12 to begin and KC2001 to end - moving through that one to open up shelf space and remind myself not to buy things like that again when I could have just bought 4 KC regulars and been as happy

Poured out a BIG one of HMcK SB in a rox glass.     Added one medium rock, and relaxed after a tough day in 'the weeds' where I volunteer, relaxed for about two hours with it.    I'm about to go back for the last of this bottle HMcK.      Wish  I had many more; but, alas, just one more bottle from this barrel.    Oh well, only way to enjoy it is to drink it!    Soooo, I shall do that!

Old Forester 1920.  So far very very good.

 

[fishnbowljoe]

Old Forester BIB for me tonight. Wish they still made this one. 

 

Cheers! Joe

Finished the last 50g of Maker's Mark 46, a smooth wheater.  I'll pick up another bottle at Sam's Club next time I got there.

[Tony Santana]

4R OESK.  One of my favorite recipes.

Finished off a bottle of AB 15 Gingerbread Cocoa since I was able to buy another today.  Just felt like a little something different tonight.   Last night my son and I fining shed off the last pours from a large bottle of OWA while watching game 1 of the Series.

Was feeling a little iffy like I was starting to come down with something from the kids. Figured a little ECBP would help get rid of any unwanted items internally.

[Golferpimp1]

ECBP 139.4 tonight. Looking forward to doing a sbs with the 136 once I crack that bottle.

Started with some Pinhook and then moved on to some EC12.

OGD 114 I decided to shelve the last couple pours of my OBSF/OESF GS bottles till I shake the cold that landed yesterday afternoon. That said the 114 was very satisfying though muted from the effects of the damn cold.

[GaryT]

Damned seasonal allergies (coupled with no rain in weeks) finally gave me a break this afternoon.  Started with a small/studied pour of this year's AECS, and following in that vein with some 1792 Port/FP mingle.  This is definitely a winner for me.  I love the 1792 FP, and I like the 1792 Port, although find it a bit on the porty/sweet side.  I can't say this mingle is BETTER than the 1792 FP, but it is certainly right there with it.

A couple of pours into Basil Hayden while spending the night in New Bern.   First time in quite a while but the hotel Bourbon selection is a little weak: KC, MM,JBW and the  BH.   

[Golzee]

Having a nightcap of a PS OWA, getting low on this bottle.  Cheers all

Had a few friends over for blind tasting some mid-shelf standard bottlings followed by meat extravaganza from local BBQ joint. Almost uniformly the order of preference of these four was as follows: Eagle Rare (local store pick--or at least they got a sticker saying it was), Henry McKenna BIB, 1792, 4RSmB.

 

The low placement of the 4RSmB in the order of preference really surprised me! 

 

The good news was that we did a draft at the end of the night so each guy could take a bottle home and, as the host, I rigged it to get the last bottle so everyone else could have their preference. So I will be able to spend a little more quality time with that 4RSmB and see what's going on.

That sounds about right, to me at least.  The ER is always a crowd pleaser.  HMcK BIB is terrific, but a bit rougher around the edges.  1792 decent but nothing special.  And 4RSmB is lacking IMO as well.  Love the SB, and love love the Private Selections, but Small Batch has never done it for me.  Sounds like a good time--bourbon and BBQ, nothing wrong with that...
