The tasting was done from lowest ABV to highest ABV. I wish I would’ve saved some of the PVW and Al Young to go directly against the GTS, but I didn’t. I believe i liked the Al Young best followed very closely by GTS and PVW15. I like ECBP, but not as much as the other 3. While I loved those 3, I don’t see myself ever spending more than retail for anything. I don’t enjoy them that much more than stuff I can find for $40-$65 2 of the other 3 guys I was with only drink bourbons 90 proof and under and on the rocks. They were in a little over their heads, but they had fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Semi enjoyed a GBS EC last night, the day prior same thing with an OGD BiB, prior to that day a LS pick RRSmbSB, all pours I generally really enjoy. Something about March when stuff starts blooming my palate shuts down, everything is just kinda muted for a few weeks. I think I will join Steve and sit out the remainder of March. April usually has be back to normal and since I am not really enjoying anything to the degree I am accustomed, I might as well pause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Last night was my first pour of OKI, which I got a dry cocoa taste on the palate. Followed that with a PS of KC SiB Bottle #4044 from Packages & More. These PS of KC are all great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Haven’t posted for ages as I just plain got away from spending time online but really savoring this John J. Bowman and it made me think of this forum. I could spend all evening reading and catching up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Second to last drink from a very good LS select bottle of Weller Antique while watching season two of Jessica Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I’m currently assembling the playlist for our wedding, which is a bit more daunting than I thought it would be. Bourbon and music go hand in hand, so first I had OWA. It hit the spot, so now I’m having W12. I may stay with the wheater theme and have a MMCS after. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk I just sent my boss's boss's boss an email after a hefty pour. It didn't turn out the way I wanted so I told him to disregard. I didn't say anything bad or incriminating...it was just an incomplete thought. He knows I drink bourbon so I am certain he suspects a bourbon influence which really wasn't the case. The email disappeared and I didn't know where it went. Apparently, it was sent. The problem was the remote email application. Yeah, that's the ticket.

mbroo5880i Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 A couple of nice pours of Woodford. While I don't buy it anymore, I have always enjoyed it. A friend gave me a bottle for Christmas. I am working on emptying it this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp55 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Went out to dinner with the wife tonight at one of our regular places. Had a nice cut of prime rib (medium rare) with a nice craft IPA beer to start the evening and a bourbon barrel-aged cabernet sauvignon with the steak. After the meal, as we were leaving, we walked past the bar and I spotted a Van Winkle Lot B on the shelf. I asked the price and was told it was $22 for a 2 oz. pour. I couldn't resist (nor could my darling bourbon-loving wife), so we each had a pour before leaving. Delicious! A great way to end a meal out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully it wasn't anything bad towards the business or management. Always blame technology! Lol. Even though this wasn't the case for you, one trick I do is write out all my future communications to management or users beforehand as a draft. So when I'm ready, it's easy to hit send. I also backup any data just in case [emoji14] hehSent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpiz Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I’m drinking some Noah’s Mill right now that I got as a present a few months ago. This is a newer batch, #17-61. This has all the hallmarks of being pretty young: very vibrant, loads of cinnamon, fades pretty fast. It’s not bad but if I had to guess I’d say this is mostly 4 year old bourbon mixed with a little older stuff.I also just realized that this does not carry the “straight” designation. Based on pictures of the old 15-year age-states bottle, it never has, but it’s still suspect. Maybe this really is as young as (or younger than) my taste buds are telling me.

Masset1982 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Had a few pours yesterday, went through some samples that i've received recently : Belle Meade 11yo SiB CS, Kentucky Owl Rye and some 2015 THH, then some Owl again to compare to the THH, both are unbelievely good. Tonight, i'll taste some of the hype, AH Hirsch 16y reserve, looking forward to this. Cheers! Will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of cinnamon means it has a lot of their own distillate in the blend. This suggests a big shift from what NM used to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
