What Bourbon Are You Enjoying (Summer 2017)

[CardsandBourbon]

WRDO.  The more I drink this the better I like it.  Of course I like oaky wines too.  Balanced that with a pour of 4R SiB.

[LCWoody]

 Having a very very good pour of HPR tonight.  This particular bottle gets better every time I have a pour from it. 

[fishnbowljoe]

I'm having a couple of pours of ETL this evening. Not much left, so who knows? 

 

Cheers! Joe

I'm going to have to keep letting someone pick for me. Left/right, shelf 1-4, bottle 1-8 (varies by shelf). Daughter picked an oldie but goodie tonight.

So far everyone keeps picking right side of cabinet.

Clueby, perhaps it's just that EVERYTHING in your cabinet is good stuff!  (What a problem to have. )

I was in Park City Utah for work again yesterday. Like the last time, my day was too tightly scripted to get to High West, but I did not go without good bourbon. Had dinner at the airport before flying home at a place that had Stagg and WLW and some Van Winkles, but since the client was paying, I had a Baker's (which was great). On the plane (Delta, of course), I had a couple Woodfords.

 

Tonight, started with OF 1920 and it was stellar as always. Keeping it in the BF family, dipping into some JDSB BP, and wow, is this ever hitting the spot nicely. I always forget how good this is.

I love teasing my local whiskey slinger with bunker selections

That's quite a trio there. I feel like drinking that HW21 after a barrel proofer might not do it justice since it's a fairly mellow pour to start with. But those are what I refer to as our "first world problems". Enjoy

Funny you mention that, I did think that the WLW was bit much before the HW. But, we soldier through.

Wow..that is quite the evening lineup. Yeah I think I'd have gone reverse order.

Barrell Batch 006, I know this one was a crowd pleaser and I am a Dickel fan but I think all of the Barrell Tennessee batches have taken some of the shine off of this one, but it also just be me tonight.  That being said I'm still ranking batch 004 as my favorite, I was pretty stoked to try and find a batch 11 (haven't seen one yet) but I'm not sure I'll bite at this point.

AA BIB. Always an enjoyable pour. Hard to believe this one's been gone for 6 or 7 years already

It's a BT night. Have my Father-In-Law in town from France and introducing him to different bourbons. A BT SB select which he enjoyed. Followed by some ETL which was a real hit. For fun went to some Blanton's for comparison and the ETL blew away the Blanton's. Either a bad barrel of Blanton's or a good barrel of ETL. Want to hate ETL but can't t do it as it's a solid pour.

Hmm.  Interesting comments.

I drank a bottle of 006 and it got worse for me as I drank it down.  Was really tired of it (specifically the popcorn taste) near the end.  Don't really understand what all the "fuss" was about.

 

I have a 004 that's been sitting in the basement for the past year collecting dust.  Perhaps I should check it out.

If I remember correctly, the 004 is KY bourbon instead of TN juice.

You have sparked a bit of hope in me that I agree with your thoughts.

004 is indeed a KY sourced bottle

Been working on a bottle of Old Ripy that was gifted to me and finished that off a couple of nights ago, needed something with more age and proof and there was an open bottle of OE7/101 sitting in front of me so I went with that.  It's been the pour of choice for the last two nights

[Whiskey Dick]

polished off an OGD114, then had a pour of HH6BIB. great values!

[Tburg]

Following all the talk that Henry McKenna gets here, I made a trip to binnys and to another local LS and got some.  I really enjoyed it.  Good taste, very enjoyable

[fishnbowljoe]

Having a few pours from a new bottle Weller SR tonight. To quote a phrase from our old bowling team, "Same as it ever was."  Good stuff.

 

Cheers! Joe

[Hop]

Back into the OE7/101 tonight.

We get the EB90 here but I don't think the OE7 is distributed  in MO. I have seen it across the river in ILL a time or two but haven't tried it.

Since the Rockies got spared from annihilation from the Nats tonight due to the rainout I'm going to mosey on downstairs and pour a shot of OWA and see what else is on the tube. The quest for a jug of VOB continues tomorrow morning.

White Oak in MoCo, MD has 5 bottles according to the website.
