Having a pour of WT101 at the club I'm playing music at. I might have a VO and 7Up in memory of my dad later..but I don't know if "enjoy" will be the right word for that one.

So sorry for your loss.

VO and 7 was my Dads drink as well.

Sorry for your loss.

Winding down the night after a great day of entertainment watching.  Great football games, playoff baseball, and even had time to squeeze in taking the wife out to a scary movie ("It").

All in all, a nice day, and sipping on some great private barrel Knob Creek SiB.  Can't go wrong with this.

Is that a problem that you have Gary? Fighting off retailers trying to sell you ORVW so that you can buy more OWA?

I've worn out 3 sticks this year alone!  "Please buy my insanely priced bourbon!"

Doing a little blind SBS of Blanton's and RHF.  Wife just poured them both for me to try while I cook dinner.  Will report back with results!

Both initially smelled the same (no surprise there) but after a few drops of water and some air I found Bourbon no 1 to have more of a sweet brown sugar nose and No.2 was more oranges and fruit.  Both had lots of sweetness and fruit on the pallet with No. 2 being a little thinner and having a slightly bitter ending to me.  Both were fantastic but No. 1 was the clear winner with vibrant flavors, no harshness and a longer finish.

 

I guessed No 1 was Blanton's and 2 was RHF but was not correct. A big Part of me really wanted Blanton's to win since I can find it easily while I have never seen a RHF in the wild.

I guess I'm going to have to do a SBS comparison and see whether I get similar results. I know I've also said that I thought I liked Blanton's better than RHF in the past, but differences in barrels can also sway the results, so who knows.

After a long week of travel, work, and volunteer work, enjoying WTRB 112.8.  Really hits the spot.  I need to get another bottle of this version before it runs out.

I’ve got a bottle of this and OF1920. While the 1920 is about $15 more I’m not sure it’s worth that premium. Additional testing is required. :D

Have you had any RRSB 110, might be my favorite pour right now. Haven't bothered with WTRB I might look for some somewhat dusties

Just dropped Littlesmokinjoe off at the airport to head back to college after a quick weekend visit home for her birthday. Feeling pretty good about things, so out back with an Olivia Série G Maduro and a thick pour of GBS 15 yr ECBP.

Took engagement photos today. While getting ready, the future misses told me I might want to bring a few beers or bourbon, as the guy generally gets restless because these can take a while. Who am I to disagree?

Are the bananas to raise your potassium level after enjoying a little too much Old Fitz?  :lol:

Some angels envy that I neither like nor dislike. Because Im so blah about it its been open way too long. I dont hate it enough to give or trade it away or use it in cocktails and i certainly dont like it enough to drain it down quickly. But I dont have room on my shelf of open bottles so it's gotta go before I can open the Booker's blue knights I keep looking longingly at every day in my closet.

JW Dant BIB tonight. It’s ok, good for the price. I may not be a buyer again though, I get a bit of grassiness or earthy tone to it. A lot like EW BIB to me.

Just getting around to posting but after my Card's further disappointed me by stinking up the stadium against Boston College we decided a fish sandwich and onion rings from Cunningham's Creekside would be a nice way to get the foul taste of the game out of our mouth.  They have a limited selection of bourbon and I've always said that I'm a fan of Russell's Reserve and WTRB but not of the WT 101 I thought, "Hey it's been a long time since I've had WT 101, why don't I give it another shot".  I know a lot of guys like it but for me it just doesn't hit the spot, in fact it misses it by a wide margin.  To me it is just too thin and finishes hot with not much flavor.  Oh well, to each his own I guess.

Tossing back some HMcK 10 BiB  while puffing a stogie and watching the Giants do the impossible. 

Tastes great on a crisp Fall night

Bananas are for the kid. Old Fitz gives me potassium and all the vital minerals and vitamins one needs.
