What Bourbon Are You Enjoying (Spring 2018)

[0895]

A little bit of last year's boo.

Yum.

Started with a little turkey 101 rye in the glass and wasn't what I was after so added some 1920 and it was pretty good but added a little blanton and it was on point. Probably 30 55 15. Now night capping with barrell whiskey 002

[Dannabis]

Sipped through an incredible tipple of Dry Fly triticale straight whiskey barrel proof store select from Davidsons.

I picked one up on a tip from a liquor store employee. He talked to me for a long time about many bourbons and everything checked out to my knowledge so I was certainly impressed. The second bourbon pusher I have talked to recently that actually knew their stuff out here.

 

The second pour was a short pour of OGD bonded

 

and I'm sipping a JB distillers cut right now and very satisfied with the evening.

That is one of my all-time favorites!

 

For me - brought some good ol' EW black label with me on a weekend getaway with the wifey.  Quite enjoyable!

I danced a bit with Barrell batch 10 last night.  Very good!

A healthy pour of CEHT Small Batch while watching UFC after a busy Saturday.

So good

For all you Weller Whore wannabies who'll be at the General Nelson in a couple weeks, Fishnbowljoe has done it again. Outstanding mouthfeel and just the right amount of proof in this years blend. Congrats Joe!

Joe sent me a little bit of this blend a couple months ago, and I've been watching it evolve ever since. The components keep integrating and it keeps getting rounder and rounder on the palate as well. It is all I can do to hold enough of it back for the next "analysis"!

Another delicious LRP pick… mega-Dickel coming through on this one.

I like the 116 proof Rare Breed a good bit more than the 112. An orange slice, 4-5 dashes of bitters, 2 luxardo cherries and a big ol’ cube and we are in business. Tough deal on a Sunday but I’m up for it.

Enjoying Ezra Brooks 7 year. Smooth, balanced. It's one I am most worried about the age statement coming off.

It was only rebranded a couple years ago, seems like a lot of expense if they were just going to get rid of it, but anything is possible.

Didn't read the post first and I thought..now THAT'S a pour!

Was at the gun club earlier shooting sporting clays and drinking some HM BiB 10y. One of the guys there is a Crown Royal drinker and he wanted to try some HM over ice...... now I have to face the fact that their will be less HM for me.... He loved it.

That Rare Breed is wrapped around a 2” ice cube. If not, I’d be in bad shape!

Woody,

that is doing the Lords work. Somewhere Parker is nodding in agreement.

Being a Hilton honors member has its perks sometimes.

Holy cow this is good.

Giving the FR bottles another chance: OESF & OESQ.

 

The OESF is developing a nice dark chocolate/cocoa thing.

Please elaborate! I travel all the time but ignore those programs. How did that happen?

Moved my daughter out today to the house she just bought..at 23! Had a nice pour to end the day. My younger daughter moved to an apartment as well so now we are officially empty nesters. There is a LOT of cleanup up to do still. Lots of their stuff still here. My wife gets a craft room and I get a drum room.

After the 4R I had some more Longbranch. After the proof of the 4R it does come across very soft and smooth. Still has that weird smoky (mesquite?) finish. I got less of the rough edges and alcohol tonight.
