dcbt Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Do you ever plan out your evening of pours? I rarely do, usually just let it flow as I feel it. But today I set out the agenda in my head. After a local Octoberfest from Oak Highlands Brewery, I treated myself to half ounce pours of '13 GTS and '13 WLW under the pergola by the pool on this fantastic fall afternoon. I had to stay home from work today because our day care lady was sick, so been running around with the toddler all day. Long story short, I'm exhausted, so now it's Red Bull time. After this quick upper break, it'll be back to the downers to finish off a bottle of Revelation Rum, which will finally rid me of my excess rums from my bar. Which will let me get back to bourbon in the form of finally opening my store select 1792 Full Proof small batch single barrel (PS1792SmBSiBFP anyone?) After that, I'll leave the agenda and just let it flow as I feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foster016 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Rebel Yell 10 Year Single Barrel. Pretty tasty stuff, warm vanilla caramel. At 100 proof, I think it's just about perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, I'll leave the agenda and just let it flow as I feel it. Sometimes I will come home with a plan, like "I feel the need . . . the need . . . for WHEAT" - and will line up some MM, W12, OWA, and WLW. Other nights, I know I may only have ONE pour if it is late, so I'll look for the high-proof stuff. Other nights, I'll open my spreadsheet and filter/sort to see what I haven't visited in a while, or what is a low fill bottle. And finally - some nights I just open the cabinet and whatever looks sexy gets a spin On topic - started tonight with some small samples of JB Bonded & JD Silver Select before pouring some dusty OF. While I like OF, the dusty stuff has a creaminess I really miss in the contemporary offering. And since moved on to some OGD 114. And ending on some 2013 FRSmBLE (love that 125th!)

whiskeyagonzo Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Enjoying a pour of 2016 FR SmB. Had some Bull & Bush OESF earlier. Felt like a FR kind of night. Both were fairly large pours. If I'm not stumbling, I may reach for some OBSK later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Turkey was really singing tonight and gave the Roses a run for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golferpimp1 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Started with SAOS7 which never fails to disappoint and then wrapped up with a bowman bros small batch. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpiz Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Diving into an excellent FRSB private selection (the 100 proof variety) that I found recently. This one is just over 9 years old and very solid. Makes me wish I had picked up more of the 100 proof store picks when they were around.

kcgumbohead Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 GBS 1792 full proof, shared a couple samples with friends and decided that it looked too damn good to not enjoy a pour myself to usher in the weekend and the cooling temps of autumn. Deep delicious flavors and wonderful mouthfeel, LOVE this bourbon and that single pour magically morphed into two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard To Taste it through that cork, though; ain't it??? Keep telling yourself; "It's only enjoyable IN The Glass, not the bottle". ...Unless you're one of those guys who skips the glass and goes for the 'straight into the mouth bottle dump'.

Harry in WashDC Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Redermption Rye/Dolins Manhattans on ice before dinner of charcoal grilled ribeye with artichoke heart/arugula salad. After dinner, dessert for me is Buffalo Trace. Its candy apple finish, at least for me, is a perfect end to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Doing SBS. With ECBbl proof, batches #8, 11, 12. Gonna be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Starting the night with a KCSB PS at 11 years old. You can really taste the oak in this one. Amazing what two extra years can do. It works wonderfully in this one and is an amazing iteration of the KC line. It's going to be hard to come down from the oak and age of this one so I'm looking at ECBP or GTS as a follow up.

All similar, as siblings always are. But as with siblings, each very different. For this SBS, tonight only, rankings:. Winner-batch #8, batch #11 came in 2nd. Batch #8 has more dark red fruit and not as "hot" as #11. Your results may vary, mine might also, next time. -Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOwhisky4me Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Bowman Bros Small Batch as I'm watching the Ryder Cup. These fellas are playing some great golf and I'm thoroughly enjoying the competitive nature of the matches while all thoroughly enjoying a good bourbon. Simple flavors in this one and good richness with a somewhat short but still satisfying finish... Just a great way to enjoy my Sunday afternoon!
