What Bottle Did You Open Today? (Summer 2017)

[DCFan]

As nice as this thread is it should be locked down so that everyone can shift over to the fall thread.

Honestly, this is a thread that doesn't need a seasonal change.  Whack the (Summer 2017), and let it just ride.

There should be a monthly what did you purchase thread but yeah this one probably only needs one per year.

Opened up a 4R PS OBSV at 9.5yrs. Holy crap this is good. I've had bad luck with the standard SB but this is great. Think I'm still more a WT/BT guy but this is nice.

HM10 BIB ..undecided, was a little hot for a 100 proof. Reminds me of KC. Will have to try it again this evening.

[LCWoody]

 Opened up two very good bottles. The C05 Bookers  is one of my favorite batches.  The 03 Evan Williams SB is nothing to sneeze at either. 

[Bourbon Fanatic]

As I posted in the "what bourbon are you enjoying" thread, I just opened this store pick BT and will likely be going back for more for my bunker.

 

Good stuff!!

 

Cheers!

Old Fitz BiB, tasted a little bit on the young side but I expect that will change with time. I'll get back to it next week.

...and with this sentence you have admirably summed up the problem with the global spirits market in 2017...

We needs to get drinking. That being said you off that boat yet?

What can I say?  I had a pretty good day, so I figured why not.

Not sure how that "Decide My Fate" poll thread works...but I was gonna ask the same thing.  What should I open tonight:

2017 FRSmBLE

PHC11

EC18

2016 WLW (I think this one might get most votes but I might hold onto that one a bit longer)

[jshleffar]

It works like, you vote, and when i got to pour myself something I'm opening whichever has the most votes. For you, I'd open PHC11.

[Clueby]

Well..i know how a poll works. I just didn't know how you started it. I see now that there is a drop down for either content or poll. A poll thread doesn't look like it allows comments..just votes.

Anyway..thanks for the suggestion. That is where I am leaning.

[Golferpimp1]

Ahhh I love this stuff. That unfinished kitchen in the background is leading me to finish bottles a little faster than normal haha.

I don't know why I posted the poll. I couldn't wait that long. Ha

This is like a really good ECBP with a longer finish. It's got a lot of oak for an 11 year.

Damn that’s a hell of a price.

[Masset1982]
