What Bourbon Are You Enjoying? (Fall 2017)

[Kane]

Enjoying another cup of coffee + BT Bourbon Cream. It is delicious, but after two cups I think Baileys has a slight edge over this. BT feels a bit too tame (2% abv difference?), and Irish vs bourbon does not make as big a difference in taste as I thought, in coffee of course. Maybe I'll try adding another shot of bourbon like somebody suggested here the other day. I wonder what a barrel proof version... no nevermind, old habits.

Might be on to something, with that barrel proof thought.

Some EHT small batch today

[LCWoody]

Having a very good pour (from one of two bottles I have left) of Johnny Drum 12y. Reminds me of some older (oval label) EC12y, has some chocolate, a  black licorice, and other good flavors, with a little burn on the end, which is nice.

^Interesting I don't think I've seen a 12yr Johnny Drum seen the standard private stock.

Better question how about that OC12yr I see in the back.

Couple small pours while watching a little football.

 

A KCSB from NASA liquor followed by a ECBP pour.

 

The KC seems off but the ECBP is tasting great today.

 

 

Is that the B517?

Ha no I'm trying to finish this bottle of A117 first.

Look forward to trying the B117 as soon as I kill this one.

[HoustonNit]

A couple small pours of EC a bar pick from a 10 yr pick from a local restaurant and some with age statement on back.

After seeing Rodgers throw this game winning TD to crush the cowboys I should of pulled out something nicer.

No worries. I ask because I had another one offer up to me last week. I can probably still grab it.

The last time I found a JD 12y was about 2010 or 2011. Good bourbon

Now, "The Classic 90 12y" is another one that was a good solid bourbon for a good price when it was available.

I'm having an impromptu vatting tonight. A ps KCSB with a splash of BT. This ps KCSB tastes really great, but it is just a tad hot. Adding a splash of water doesn't do it justice, so I've taken to adding just a little BT to take the edge off. "Yeah. That's the ticket." 

 

Cheers! Joe

Same here.  Never had a bad bottle yet. 

Go Chiefs.

[Kepler]

Never was a big fan of United.  Judging by the size of the pours I got flying in and out of Vegas, I might just have to reconsider my opinion.   Hard to tell from the photo, but that glass tumbler was decent sized.

Me neither, I feel like its a real good value whiskey. Enough age and proof, plenty of flavor. It's one I find out here at least occasionally so Ive taken to just buying one whenever i see it under 45.

Was hoping this was a new offering oh well of the Johnny Drum.

 

I know the Classic OC is long gone but was hoping it's a recent dusty find.

OBSO

11 years on it too.

United stinks, I mean it could be worse, it could be Delta. However was very upset when United bought out Continental which had a hub in Houston. Continental was far superior.

I hope that's not first class domestic, if your company is paying for it please disregard.

I can feel it down in my plums

Monday I had my go around with these. The blend was 60/40 OWA/W12. I enjoyed all 3 pours quite a bit. I’ll definitely be seeking out both bottles again. 

[graftonbc1]

I am very much enjoying a Four Roses OESV barrel select and a Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. Both are wonderful neat.

I add more buffalo Trace to my bourbon cream. But add what you like. 1 shot may be to much . I like the whole shot myself .

I don't have any basic BT juice atm, so tried with ~0.5oz of WT101. Much better! Experiment no 2 was with CEHT BP, but that was a bit too much.
