TimeWillTell Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Started with JBDC, then a small pout of Lot40 Rye, then a Wathens SiB (on sale,5 took a flier, not bad) then finishing with a RRSiBRye. All small pours. Eyeing a blend I did of GW4G for a finishing pour tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I’m having a nightcap pour (or two) of my Weller Blend. After a long day at work, and at home afterward, it’s really hitting the spot tonight. Biba! Joe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got plenty of WSR and W107 thankfully so I won't complain too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Started off with MM cask strength and decided to stick with wheaters and the MM family, so I’m now enjoying a pour of M46. Weller gets all the attention these days, but these two MM selections along with the PS bottling choices are very strong alternatives to Weller 12 and Weller Antique, and they are much easier to find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree (as I keep the MMCS and MM46 around) but I still hope to make Joe's Weller Blend someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMFH Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Working on powering through this bottle of Michter's US*1 Small Batch. It's not bad it's just...boring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwperry Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Working on powering through this bottle of Michter's US*1 Small Batch. It's not bad it's just...boring?I can see that. I felt the same way with their Rye too. To me, they've tasted like the proof should have been in the low 80s and the flavors don't hold as long as some other whiskeys. I've like all three variants of theirs I've tried (Rye, Bourbon and Sour Mash) and have bought backup bottles the Rye and Bourbon, but it isn't something I reach for in the evening when I want to be stimulated. It's a hot afternoon and neat/Mello pour for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nose on the Rye (not the barrel proof) was fantastic, but the flavors were non-existent and fell waaaay short of my expectations for the price point.

Radioyada Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The last pour of Bookers from my decanter. Since I have a fair number of other barrel proof bottles I like much better (and cost less) this was probably the last Bookers I will have. It was a good one, just not good enough.

Mule Skinner Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 A new one to me, I picked up the other day is "1792 Bottled in Bond". It's good, but I guess maybe I was expecting more of a 1792 Full Proof profile, and it aint there with the BiB. I'll gladly finish the bottle, and I have no regrets buying it, but I won't buy another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayouredd Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Yesterday was an untypical, 13 hour-piss me off fess at work. I made it to the end of the day today & went for the big payoff... I started left to right/high to low with a short pour each. All were good, but the Baker's won the second pour follow-up... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double C's Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 having a pour of WT rare breed before heading to the hospital in an hour. It's gonna be a long night since my wife is going to give birth at some point tomorrow. Oh, and I am packing along a mini bottle of Ezra brooks bourbon cream for my coffee that I am sure to be needing in the wee hours of the morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Opened this tonight. It's my first pour of any whiskey since last Friday after a weekend of either food poisoning or a bug. Its interesting for sure. The dried fruit sherry nose is there and so is the JB nutty funk on the finish. Fruits and nuts seem to go together but this isn't likely to be a repeat buy for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
