elmossle Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I too am enjoying some Four Roses tonight. A nice PS OBSQ from Westport Wine & Whiskey in Louisville. A very tasty pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalessin Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well, hello! Haven't poked my nose in here in a while. Life has a habit of getting busy, and it's been far busier than usual as of late. This week started off with cold weather and a cold, and I've been supplementing various cough medicines with Hochstater's Rock & Rye. I've really grown to like the sweet orange-peel flavor, great when you can't really taste plain bourbon or scotch correctly. Last Saturday, at the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the American whiskey selection is still only Bulleit (and Wild Turkey 81). My favorite bartender is still treating me really well, and I heard Haydn's Symphony #60, which the BSO hadn't performed in 30 years. Also in that concert, Beethoven's Symphony #7, which is less famous and less heard than most of the others. I've been contemplating a new life direction, and contemplation goes well with whiskey and quiet late at night. Last night, Russell's Reserve Single Barrel and Smooth Ambler Old Scout 7, and tonight a large-sized Manhattan made with WTR101, Cocchi Vermouth de Turin, orange bitters, a dash of maple syrup, and some Luxardo cherries.

jonhalter Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I went deep into the expensive bourbon cabinet. (The one dad has to ask before he goes in). Pulled out HHSS batch 2. 27 months in cognac barrel. Damn I forgot how good this is. It also reminded me I havent been on SB.com in about 9 months. Its good to be back, and even better that we all have great whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be at least 2 years old now. It was spot on. I dont go to it often since all I can find Weller is SR. At some point this boom will die down......I hope.

Corn Dodger Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Elmer T. Lee this evening. I find it aggravating that I live less than 50 miles from the distillery but have to go to Wyoming to find any. Ah, well.....I am thankful that I found it. And Wyoming is always worth the trip.

smokinjoe Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 GBS 1792 Full Proof out by the fire on a beautiful evening here, Down South. Great from nose to finish. The mouthfeel is particularly good with its heaviness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Just had a generous pour of ER10 to finish off a bottle. This stuff needs more love it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I was in on a locale store pick today of 1792 FP and didn't pick one that was worthy of a SB pick. They are going to pass this time, now I'm sipping on some SAOS 10y 61.1p very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one doesn't hit your sweet spot, there's no reason to take one. How many barrels did they roll out for your group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on your group to not take something you're not happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'm having some OWA. First pour from the new style bottle. Seems a bit more on the red hots than it used to but may be my imagination. The only other OWA I have open is a store selected barrel that was superior so I may be biased. I am certainly enjoying the OWA tonight. Maybe just contemplating it a bit much.

JNeff33 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Doing a side by side of PHC 2 to PHC 10 while enjoying some Sweet 16. Must say the 2 blows the 10 out of the water, which is disappointing with the boom inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
