From these pix, I'd say it was worth the effort! GREAT views, and I especially love that Billy Goat in the foreground. I assume he wasn't actually as close as this shot makes him appear....? Good choice for the celebration/recovery pour, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Dinner at Ditto's Grill in Louisville last night. Yes, I think a pour of Blanton's before dinner would suit me just fine, thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWP, I was thinking further on this and maybe the most obvious should have come to mind initially.. Being a SiB, by chance this particular barrel may not have been the best expression and/or not for your palates liking.. I’ll echo Harry’s seconding again that IMO the Whiskey Row is a must try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to stay 100 feet away if one is up there and you’re not going to not go to the top cuz a goat is there after that hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah In my opinion the best OF bourbon expression to try as a first introduction is not a single barrel but rather a regular batched product. My first recommendation is the 1897 BiB from the whiskey row series. It's typical OF and will be a good test to decide what you think of OF. My next picks would be either the 1870 (if you prefer less than 100 proof) or if you want to spend less, the basic 100 proof budget expression (it goes by different names depending on what year it was bottled, "Signature" or "100 proof" or something like that) but that one can be inconsistent in my experience. But I also think that Old Forester's best all around product today is their basic 100 proof rye. That stuff is fantastic at $20 and blows away most anything twice it's price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most folx that ever see one live, see it from hundreds of yards farther than that! The closest I ever came to one that I saw was maybe 250-yards... and I thought that was CLOSE! Great Pic! ...In fact all the shots you posted are lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Multiple Fantasy Football drafts today, so plenty of bourbon was poured and consumed. Started the day with some VW Lot B for the first draft. Then moved to some FRSB OBSQ while spending some time with the family. Finally it was some GTS '18 to kickoff the SB Fantasy Football Draft. Too bad it is back to work tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayouredd Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Tonight began with an "outa da fridge" SS KC120 & mint stick. Not so good! Next was an "outa da fridge" SS EC with an orange stick. Not bad! And lastly, another EC with a caramel stick. Good, but a bit sweet! Context: My Wife found straws of honey mixed with various ingredients from a local beekeeper; I think to be a pretty cool idea. Obviously they go with coffee, tea or BOURBON!!! Of course, she said they were labeled, but she mixed them up, soooooooo... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, she said they were labeled, but she mixed them up, soooooooo... I like the concept of those honey sticks, but I find the flavors to come across very artificial. At the end of the day, I would much rather have straight honey. My mom has a few hives, so I am fortunate to always have an ample supply! Tonight, I am drinking a 2 oz. pour of ER10. It is growing on me. Pretty good overall. I think I may be getting more accustomed to the oak flavor in bourbon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
