All is well now, though, and she and mama come home today. I came home last night to get a little sleep but first enjoyed some small LE pours to celebrate: PVW20, Barterhouse, Lot B, and W12. Congratulations and great to hear that everyone is doing well now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foppa78 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I recently had my first Booker's experience. First I had a pour of 2018-1 Kathleen's Batch. It was great. A few days later I found a pour of 2017-1 Tommy's Batch. The Tommy's Batch was incredible. I hope to find more flavors like I found in Tommy's Batch as I continue along my bourbon journey. Wow was it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow was it good. For some reason, Tommy's Batch seems to get a lot of hate. I thought it was the best of the 2017 batches. And, welcome to the Booker's fan club. I'll never forget my first taste. I was at a bar and they were out of Knob Creek so the bartender suggested Booker's. It was my first barrel proof bourbon and it was so intense and delicious that it blew my mind. I don't remember the batch but it was 130+ proof from before they began naming the batches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 In one of those serendipitous moments, I’m standing in front of the monger’s bourbon aisle pondering what I want to get for the long weekend. They have some kind of Grateful Dead station on, which though I am not a big fan of, it just pretty much was perfect for my mood. As usual, there were several bottles I could go with, but I just had a hankerin’ for something different. I realize I’m tapping my foot, and humming along to the song...”Tennessee Jed”. So, by Dead intervention, Dickel 12 came home with me, and it’s a pour before we head to the Park for a Braves game. And Dickel is always my reset whiskey for palate fatigue, so it’s perfect. Zip-a-dee-doo-dahhhh. Zip-a-dee-AAAAA!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statesboro Blues Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Side by side with batch 8&9 tonight. Every time I revisit 9, I’m reminded of how much I absolutely love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayouredd Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Finally done with chores; like running to Lowes, prepping the Primo grill & seasoning a pork shoulder. Fire starts at midnight... Now for my second night in a row, a pour of Baker's. Ahhhh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverc Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 HH6 90 proof green label. This is good stuff, and I think I may like it a wee bit better than HH6 BIB. Got some football on and the sun is shining. Good to have a 3 day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Did a tasting today to kick off the first 'big' day of college football. Started with a PS 13 year/10 month KCSB, then to 112.6 WTRB, then cask strength KCSB rye, then on to a Boone County 12 yr BP, then to a PS MMBP. We ended the shooting match with a nice pour of Plantation OFTD (clocking in at a nice 138 proof). I know it's not all bourbon, but when you're tastings bottom proofer clocks in in excess of 112 proof... I'd call it a good day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) On the way home from church this morning we had to avoid a couple of turkeys in the road. I took it as an omen that some WT was supposed to be my beverage for today, so I've got some Tradition in the glass. Beautiful whiskey!

While I was passing through the LS today I spotted this: https://www.rogue.com/products/dead-guy-whiskey I'm a huge Rogue Dead Guy fan so wondering how it is?'
