CardsandBourbon Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) It's summer! Time to put those bottles in the freezer and drink it cold (if that's your cup of tea, I mean bourbon). Last night while watching my Louisville Cardinals come from behind to beat Miss. St. I enjoyed a pour of Jim Beam Distiller's Cut. Actually I was so nervous I had to have a pour to calm me down.

GaryT Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Been on a kick of going through bottles that I really like, but just haven't poured in a while. Tonight's special guest - SB Blend (70/30, heavy on OWA) that I mingled a couple years back. I experimented with different ratios, and always preferred more OWA (although never could decide between 60/40 or 70/30 - so made some of each!) Hitting the spot, with caramel and toffee (and a hint of butterscotch that I don't usually get with this). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a bit more OWA in there, as well. I think the extra viscosity provided by OWA is more in line with the mouth feel of its intended target, Weller Centennial. The mouthfeel improvement more than offsets the slightly higher proof, for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomLamb Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 FR SiB for me. Spice at first then brown sugar later on. I think I let it breathe a little too much this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm having some Ezra Brooks 90 proof. I'm really enjoying this, better than I expected. I call it an easy drinker, no rough edges, nothing too complicated. We assume made by HH. I wonder, does Lux Row have their own rack houses, or do they get 4 year old whiskey and directly bottle it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we drove by in April, pretty sure there were 3. And when we toured last year, I'm pretty sure they said that they are building 6. They haven't been distilling long enough to have a 4yr old yet.

marshall9779 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Started my 40th bday celebrations last night. Had a couple buddies over for cigars and of course bourbon. Started everyone out with some ORVW10 then did a few blind pours and tried a couple others. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats upon entering into the second third of your young life, marshall9779. You're out from under the 'expectations' of life, and aware enough of the 'possibilities' thereof that still exist, yet still naive enough to believe in some of 'em. It's wonderful to be young ... if I remember correctly (a presumption many wouldn't necessarily make of me, I fear). Enjoy the next 25-years or so, before it all starts going in the wrong direction. HA! (Hopefully not too quickly...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Had several pours from my 'infinity bottle' (which contains about 35-different Bourbons by now, I imagine; but, who counts, right?). Putting all top quality Bourbons results in a very nice (if somewhat variable from time to time) departure from standard brands. I really enjoy it most times. Today was no different. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderKeg Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Started with a little EHTsmb followed by some 1792bib, all while re-watching the second season of Boardwalk Empire. Nucky ragged on Mr Kessler for letting a decanter run out of bourbon in one scene. Also noted a bottle of "Maryland Whiskey" on the front porch between Nucky and Eli in another.
