What bourbon are you enjoying (spring 2017)

[LCWoody]

I going to have to finish off a bottle of 4R tonight... the cork broke.... Damn

[HoustonNit]

God Bless

Nevermind the PVW15YR I'm curious how you scored a HH6YR in California?

[Kpiz]

Having the final pour of a RRSB. This one was a PS by K&L and it is wonderful - tons of spices up front with a sweet middle and an oaky finish. I'm sad to see this one go but glad I had the pleasure of drinking through the bottle.

With great difficulty I assure you 

[Kpiz]

Now finishing off a very nice KCSB PS from a local store that's about 11yo. It has some really interesting savory spice notes. I had a backup bottle but gave it to my friend for his housewarming, so will have to grab a few more.

In Orlando for a conference this week. Had a couple pours of Angel's Envy with dinner at Roy's Hawaiian. It was the cheapest bourbon on the list..below Knob Creek, Booker's, Maker's, et al. After dinner had a pour of ETL at The Whiskey. It was on their "special release" list and again priced lower than a lot of other stuff that is regularly available.

Had a Beam double oak and now a WT101 as the Tribe takes on Kershaw. Good game so far Roll Tribe.

 

 

Yasiel Puig said to say hi.

It's a very patriotic day - National Bourbon Day AND Flag Day.  Get after it, y'all.

Heaven Hill will occasionally release a palate of it to a market outside their normal distribution areas. Not sure if that's the case with CA but that's how it worked here in WA State. It's now dried up and no more is coming.

Question, why do we think that this one is 6 yr old?  Just because of the label color? I always assume that all of the HH bourbons are 4 years old unless they show an age statement (some state lower and obviously some higher).

That's a good catch. Because of the label I didn't bother to look, but the 6 year is definitely prominently displayed on the bottle. I don't think that bourbon pictured is the 6 year old. 

[Dabbings]

Not the same one

The 6yr is bonded also

That one is 80proof

[kevinbrink]

The only 6 yr non bonded HH I know of is http://www.bourbonguy.com/blog/2017/2/16/heaven-hill-6-year-old-green-label 

Doesn't mean I'm not wrong, Heaven Hill has tons of labels Green, Gold, Black, White, etc... I just assume if they are 80 proof and no age statement they are 4 yrs unless otherwise stated.

Duh just noticed we have the 80proof HH here no 6yr BiB.

no age statement from the picture. Thanks for clearing that up.

Final pour of PVW20 that I believe was 2012 but I can't locate the code on this bottle. Rewarding myself for packing up most of the bunker in preparation for the move in a little less than two weeks.

Happy National Bourbon Day, my kind of made up holiday!

I decided it was a good day to do some proper research

Decided 1 wasn't enough!

[OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel]

I have a pour of Blanton's. Cheers!

Really enjoying my first Russell's Reserve bottle

Good stuff.  Been a long time since I gave it a whirl.

[DeepCover]

A generous friend offered up this sample of Michter's. It's a pretty nice pour, but not worth $500 a bottle. Much better than Michter's 10 though.

 

[Barrel Aged Buckeye]

Since it was national bourbon day had a Bookers dots batch. After that I poured myself a WT101.
