dcbt Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The last of a private select ER10. Nothing memorable about it, but always enjoyable nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Fear of losing my Cult Card led me to having a healthy pour of 2014 FR LE SmB. Well, that and it's Friday. Also, it looked damn inviting just sitting there on the bar. Plus, it's really, really good. Aw hell, do you really need a reason to drink great whiskey? Didn't think so. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) I'm always somewhat surprised at just how good this is after not having had any for a while. Edited December 15, 2018 by Clueby 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfletchgu Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Going cheap tonight with a little HH90. With the BIB impossible to find this is still a great second option. I paid 24 after tax for a 1.75 which is like 10 bucks a bottle. Love this stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyJames Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 On Wed I traded a Pappy 15 for 3 Weller 12 175s and a Weller 12 750. I’ve have the 15 since 2010 bought at MSRP (75.00). Love it but like W12 better. Weller 12 not as easy to find as it used to be here in the Lone Star State. New here. Hello all! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Decided to do smaller pours and have more variety than most nights. So I started with a Loch & K(e)y select Blanton's which is amazing. That was followed by the last of a state select KCSB. It was back to basics to finish off the evening with a pout of FR Small Batch. Three very different pours, but all tasty and hit the spot. Cheers!

JimmyJames Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Joe, apologies for disturbing you with my re-post. Just figured I would get into another thread and introduce myself. I enjoy reading everyone’s comments and I’ve learned so much from everyone here. So you’re welcome for the re-update. If I find any more Weller 12 I’ll make sure and re-re-update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 HH27. A local store opened this at their bar. The nose was fantastic. I could smell it just walking past someone with a glass. Oaky and earthy. Someone else mentioned chocolate. The taste was not earth shattering. Very heavy oak as expected with an old dustiness to it. It was described as "licking grandma's attic". I think its the oldest bourbon I've ever tasted. Glad I got to try it but also glad I didn't win this in a lottery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRich Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Technically bourbon enjoyment because there is Elijah Craig in it....along with Appleton and Hennessy I’ve made Alton Brown’s aged eggnog a couple of times but this is the best that it’s ever been. 10 weeks aged.Seriously good!

elmossle Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Went with three different selections this evening. Started the afternoon off with an old EC Store Select Single Barrel from a few years ago. Moved on to some WT Rare Breed and a night cap of Four Roses Small Batch which finished the bottle.

Kepler Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Enjoyed an old fashioned with WT101 earlier tonight with dinner, followed by WT101 with a big cube. Now RY10SiB in a glencairn is really hitting the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WLW always lives up to its stellar reputation. It's almost always going to be the best thing you drink on a given day, and it was here too.

Statesboro Blues Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Blended the “poor man’s pappy” made famous here about 2 months ago. This is my first time trying and I must say, it is phenomenal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Revisiting Bulleit BP, from a bottle I've had open for a couple of years. Being from the initial KY only release, I know it's 4R in the bottle, but this still doesn't do it for me. The typical 4R profile is there, but it's definitely missing the layered depth of tricks, favors, and complexities that I've become accustomed to (and spoiled by) with other similar aged 4R distillate. Maybe 2.5, or 3 Roses? :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul_cooperstein Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Rebel Yell 1971. Delicious whiskey. Loads of caramel, pecans, honey, orange blossom. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
