flahute Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 After picking three barrels on Friday and two nights of debauchery under the gazebo at the annual gathering, I didn't think I'd want a bourbon tonight. Lo and behold, the siren beckoned and I answered the call with some ETL and OWA. About to dive into a third pour and am eyeing the 1792 HR.

A small pour of WR Brandy Cask finish, a large pour of FRSiB to empty the bottle and finished off with a 50/50 blend of OGD114 and WSR. Great to meet you at the annual gathering!

JTaylor Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 It's been a while since I only have one opened and one in the bunker I drink it sparingly, but the W12 was calling last night. I had a good pour and then poured a second for my decanter. I'm working on a BT vatting that is currently OWA, BT, CEHT SmB, Blantons, Stagg jr. and now W12.

Hey, that 50/50 blend of OGD114 and WSR is really nice. Almost filled my Yeti last night and finished it off before going to bed. SWMBO said I slept "like a baby." Do babies snore? I forget . . . . .

SWMBO said I slept "like a baby." Do babies snore? I forget . . . . . [emoji3] That blend is really nice. I can't remember whether I discovered that blend on SB or another site, but I like it much better than either one of those bourbons individually, so I rarely drink them separately anymore. Store Picks of single barrel SWR are sometimes good enough by themselves, but I use the regular version for mixing with OGD114 and other blends. I know some people can't find SWR in their area, but we are pretty much swimming in it around here. OGD114 is not quite as available as SWR, but it's still pretty easy to find.

HoustonNit Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I know what I'm drinking tonight I'm outta of OGD114 but will do 50/50 OGDBiB/WSR. Good way to use up the last of my WSR handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 First pour/s since returning from Bardstown. Short pours of HMcKenna BiB, VOB 100, HH6yr. My HMK is on the drier side, more tobacco than caramel and I wish it was the other way around. I was going to stop there but it left me wanting so VOB and HH6 hit the spots HMK missed.

I also haven't had a pour since getting back from Bardstown Kevin. Maybe later tonight. And that's a big maybe. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Wow this is ridiculously good. Slightly less ABV than the blend with OGD114, but I'm sure it is very good. It is amazing how well the OGD and WSR compliment each other. Cheers!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers!Sent from my iPad using TapatalkThe lower proof is noticeable, was thinking about doing a OGDBiB and OWA blend when I kill the handle. Also might play try another higher rye bourbon like WT101. I think a less sweet rye might be interesting.On a side note I forgot how good OGDBiB was.

elmossle Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 After a crappy day which has been the theme for the week so far, started with a good pour of FRPS OBSQ. It has been a while since that 120 proof of goodness has hit the lips. That was followed by HH6yrBIB and now time for bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clingman71 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 My 93 y/o grandfather passed away the other day, so following the funeral it seemed very fitting to open an ETL Commemorative and share a pour with my dad. We followed that with some lot B, cigars, and telling stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Doing another pour of the ER10 from last night. Funny I opened this bottle in DC last week while at the hotel and don't recall liking it this much... wonder if it was because of those waxed paper cups that don't hold up well to bourbon?
