Oh, the anticipation of the last pour that will come from this bottle, and all that delicious, gritty char that I get to chew and crunch on...  Mmmmmmmmm....

You could save that for dinner one evening!  A nice healthy pour and a little char to chew on!

Doing a SBS of EC12 and EC store pick.  The 12yr is a little more oak forward and slightly richer.  Everything else is indistinguishable to me.  Cheers

Opening up with ER10 store pick. A little more heavy on the oak than other ER I Have enjoyed.

That's the fun of single barrels. I call it the Gump effect.   You never know what you're gonna get.

I don't know what I'm waiting for, I'm so tempted to crack mine open, how is it? I've heard the 2010 is one of the best Stagg ever!

 

Cheers! 

 

Will!

Wait a minute, didn't you just get that bottle like yesterday?  :)

I have some trouble to save this one, it's too good. ;)

Punching the cult card today. Been a while since I've been into "The Roses" but this reminds me to stop and partake more often. I don't see too many with this much age on them in the wild anymore.

Seconds after posting this the bottle fell to the floor! But, it's good glass and a wood floor so it didn't break or leak. Thank the Lord!

Off work tomorrow so whiskey tonight.  Killing off a bottle of Old Forrester Single barrel.  Not a bad bottle but at 50 bucks not a repeat purchase.

In addition to the Evan Williams Black Label, EWSB and Evan Williams 12 year old Red Label at the Evan Williams Experience I also had a pour of

Johnny Drum Private Stock Bourbon  and  some  Pure Kentucky  at dinner.

While both Willett brands they were too entirely different taste profiles.  Enjoyed them both however.

I have had some terrific experiences with both of those labels over the years, and throw in Rowan's Creek and especially Noah's Mill.  However, rather hit or miss these days as the sourced whiskey quality changes.  Glad to hear you enjoyed them, so lightening in a bottle is still possible!

Well Joe, to give you an idea of how much I enjoyed them, I will be adding them to my collection in the near future.

Went to a very nice bar in Knoxville last night - Sunspot on Kingston Pike near the UT campus (it was our SEC Swimming Championship Officials' dinner).  They had Old Rip Van Winkle for $20 a heavy pour, Rock Hill Farms for $13, and Elmer T Lee. for $10.  NICE!!!!  The ORVW 10 was super, BTW.   :P

Abraham Bowman Coffee finished. Sample from a buddy. Really unique and amazing how much coffee bean flavor was extracted from barrels that only held roasted beans. If you don't like coffee it's not for you. It's not an everyday pour, but I think it's fantastic and will need to search out a bottle.
