LCWoody Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Having some HM 10y SB, what a great bourbon, when you find the right barrel. I hate to say this, but stock up before this is allocated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, just poured some Booker's batch B95-C-31. It's fun going to the real pine wood box Booker's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNBourbon Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 For tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNBourbon Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Almost gone. Glad I have another, but most likely will drink the Batch 10 and 12 first/next, save the Batch 6, for quite awhile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Sampled the 10yr Basil Hayden last night, and initial impressions were positive (at 80 proof, still a more delicate/nuanced pour with a bit of chocolate that I don't get in BH along with that orange/citrus spice). Finished up the night with WTRB, which is the bourbon that when non-bourbon folks ask me what they should be that is good - I NEVER mention (hoping it stays under the radar a little longer!)

CardsandBourbon Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Gary, hogging your bourbon knowledge so the uneducated masses keep buying Fireball. Shame on you. LOL! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still my favorite ECBP batch of the ones I've had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on you. LOL! Hey!!! Wait a minute! Ain't Fireball the next Pappy? That's what a local LS clerk tells me. I grabbed 4-cases, and expect to flip those puppies in a few months for enough to take a world cruise. (Note, the above is sarcasm, for those who didn't catch that. None of it is true. ...I hope.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe two World Cruises? One here, one on Mars? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 My brother-in-law, undoubtedly the black sheep of my wife's side of the family, actually likes it. He's getting a T-shirt for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Fireball and Rumchata tastes like cinnamon toast crunch! At my company picnic we had Fireball snowcones... which were actually pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly say I haven't tried it, but agree. Hell, I loved that Black Velvet Toasted Caramel Canadian Whiskey that Big Rich had! I mean - that's not exactly the same thing (I mean, the BVTC is AGE STATED, so it has legitimate "whiskey" cred), but close enough Back on topic though - enjoying a big ol' pour of Booker's 2018-4 "Kitchen Table". Or I think I'm enjoying it. So sick and tired of my tasters being off most of this month thus far (but deciding that if I don't know, then I AM enjoying it since that's better than the alternative!)

evasive Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Fireball mixed with bourbon at a 1:1 to 1:2 ratio is one of my go-to flask fills for winter activities. Sitting on a chairlift or pausing while XC skiing or fat biking isn’t really a time for thoughtful sipping, and there’s no nose with a flask anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not in the mood for it very often, and I cut it with more whiskey when I do drink it, but I do own a bottle...it’s probably been a year or so since I cracked open the cap though.

Vosgar Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Even though I don't like Fireball, as long as it keeps making money for Sazerac so they can continue making goodies I do like, I'm OK with it. Who'd a thunk they could sell 4.9 million cases of that stuff last year? https://beveragedynamics.com/2018/04/03/the-fastest-growing-spirit-brands-and-dominant-trends-of-2017/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still recall someone buying a grocery cart of Fireball at Kroger on New Years Eve a few years back. If nothing else, I bet they had a fun party.

JCwhammie Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I got together with some friends for cigars and bourbon. This was my first go round with RHF, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I brought the 4R SiB, which goes well with a cigar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 HW Midwinter act 6 scene 1. It's working much better tonight than the other day when I first opened it. It's working quite nicely indeed. My palate or my mood has to be right for finished whiskeys. This is normally my favorite finished whiskey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
