I know but we had just dropped $150 on dinner and drinks sooooooo . . . but there's always next time. Plus it's my wife's favorite restaurant in Louisville so it shouldn't be too hard to talk her into another trip. Next time I just plan on drinking my dinner. When our waiter said he would ask the bartender I figured he would come back with something north of $75.

HoustonNit Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Having a really nice Jericho Hill cigar that’s pairing really well a 14 year PS of Knob Creek. Weird but the cigar brings out the sweetness and takes the heat and wood. Not that this barrel needs any help, tons of brown sugar and not over oaked for 14 years. My last 10 year KC PS was way over oaked, not this one.Started raining on the atrium, moved to the garage to finish off the cigar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just me but for a flight like that I would want to do it sitting at the bar and a with a clean palate. I agree, there’s always next time.

I opened this bottle last month and thought something was off, but couldn't pinpoint what it was other than it was a little harsh and the usual sweetness wasn't there. Wanting another opinion, got a sample to our resident Weller Whore for a professional analysis. Joe agreed it was off, but then last week he texted he had just finished the last of the sample and that it was better. Giving it another shot, I'll be damned but he was right. The BT wheater sweetness was finally there, but it still had a little more bite, which I happened to really like. This is my third pour since Joe's text and each time it's been working very nicely for me. Glad I could be of assistance. Biba!

fishnbowljoe Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I had a small pour of Weller SR when I got home from work this evening. It'll be something a little higher proof later on after supper. I'll be celebrating. No work tomorrow! Our facility opened in 1991, and this is the first time that work has ever been cancelled or called off for any reason. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our facility opened in 1991, and this is the first time that work has ever been cancelled or called off for any reason. I started off with some SB HHSS #2 with a splash of water tonight. May go with some GTS later on, because I too don't have to go to work Wednesday. The television weather geeks are talking about -55 degree wind chill temps for Wednesday, so my boss finally relented and made tomorrow "optional". I'd already told him earlier this morning that I wasn't coming in tomorrow but would work from home, so it didn't really matter to me. Thursday morning is looking iffy as well so it could be "all barrel strength, all the time" drinking for the next day and a half 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisville has become a great food destination and the bourbon . . . well what can I say! Son had to take his car in for service today so after some furniture shopping (he's getting ready to buy a house) and lunch we decided to stop by the Kentucky Artisan Distillery for a tour and tasting. Neat seeing a smaller operation. While tasting the owner walked through and thanked us for stopping by. The tasting was Whiskey Row, Jefferson's Reserve, Jefferson's Ocean, Voyage #16 and Jefferson's Manhattan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Bic lighter can impart very negative flavors into your cigar. Similar to lighter fluid before you grill. Highly recommend a butane lighter (torch or soft flame) that will burn clean.

PaulO Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 This was sort of a surprise. I found Jim Beam Repeal Batch marked way down at a local store. I bought one to try it; turns out, I really like it. I went back to collect the stragglers (at an amazing cheap price). NCF is not a gimmick. If I had to describe Repeal Batch - it's like the little brother of Distiller's Cut, or if JB tried to make their version of FRYL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday afternoon ballgame, then checked into the Bourbon Inn B & B. Dinner at Porcini's where I had a pour of ER. Buddy of mine ordered a pour of PVW 12 Lot B, which he graciously allowed me to sample. Waiter checked and said we could get a Pappy flight (12, 15 & 20 y.o.) for $55. Wanted to do it but had to pass this time. Returned to the B & B where you could do your own pour in their 2nd floor bar area on the honor system. $6 for a copious pour of WTRB 108 proof. Sunday afternoon game and then last night at home enjoyed some CEHT SmB. The wife and I had our rehearsal dinner at Porcini's many moons ago. It is one of our favorite places to go when we are back in town visiting family. $55 for that flight isn't a bad deal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
