Wedelstaedt Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 While watching my Texas Rangers playing a late game on the west coast I am enjoying a new bottle of WR PS. It has above average viscosity, the usual caramel with fresh apples. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Onto HMcK10. A nice standard pour. I truly enjoy the variety of bourbon. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdad Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Had a couple ounces of ER10 last night. This was my second pour, since I purchased it last week. It did taste a bit better to me than the first pour, but still not my favorite. Seems a little fruitier to me than WT101 or Bulleit. Definitely drinkable though! For some reason, my wife doesn't like the smell of it. When I bring a glass of it into the living room, she says it stinks! She keeps trying to put her finger on the scent, but she can't quite figure it out. Edited July 27, 2019 by macdad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still drink the OF 100 Sig regularly and the 1920 Prohibition is one of my faves. Enjoying the new rye, as well. I live in Nashville and have many friends in Louisville KY. Just as an FYI, Old Forester is probably the most beloved brand in old Louisville, and still to this day. And those folks know their brown liquor.

(Hence Me Me’s Special Batch) They’re probably in their late 60’s & have been doing it their whole life. His family were bootleggers in MS before they got into the legal side lol. He even gave me this awesome little mini of Early Times today. He said he doesn’t know how old it is, but it still has the tax stamp. If anyone can help, please reply. Easier if you take a picture of the top on that, I'm not sure when the measurements went away on the bottom of the strip for minis but for larger bottles it was 1960 if it doesn't say a series number it is 34-44, if it says 111 it is 44-60 and if it says 112 it is 60-77. It is pre 77 since it is issued by IRS not ATF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I made a trip to Nevada last week. Friday to Tuesday morning in Vegas. Tuesday afternoon I made the 7hr drive up to Reno to visit a friend that recently moved up there and has been speaking very positively of the virtues of Reno. Thought I’d take a look. Spent the night in a mining town about halfway between the cities. I’m an oddball I love the dry Summer desert weather along with the mountainous barren landscape. I had plenty of comped low end bourbon. Plain old JB White is solid bourbon. I also got hustled and got either 81 proof WT or blended swill at the Golden Nugget poker room. I’m a huge Turkey fan but the 81 proof doesn’t hold up. MM is way underrated. Good times. The baseball bets covered my poor poker play and craps habit. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Work has been getting the best of me these days, so not many opportunities to grab a pour during the week for a while. However, I do plan on making up for lost time on the weekends and that started tonight. Started with a healthy pout of VWSR Lot B and decided to stay in the wheated family by finishing a bottle of Rebel Yell 10yr SB. Can't wait for tomorrow to have some more! Cheers everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeythink.com Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Its a 2015 WTKS store pic as I edit into the night, trying to finish some client videos before I leave for vacation in Japan in a few days. Got my inflatable bottle protectors ready for the trip & will see what I find there. Oh - & my buddy drove a couple hours to pick up some BT SB store pics - only $24.69. He grabbed 6 of 'em & 1 has my name on it! Edited July 28, 2019 by Whiskeythink.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Went out to dinner with some friends tonight. Hot Texas summer, felt like something lighter tonight with dinner, sauvignon blanc with some nice red snapper followed by some after-dinner cocktails, ... I went with gin & tonics this evening. Back home now and just poured myself some whiskey. Starting off with my 1792 home blend (Port & Full Proof). This is more like home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you're not doing something like farting just as you enter the room? I think you and I may be kindred spirits, or we at least have the same sense of humor! Pretty sure I wasn't farting. I am in my early forties, so I can still feel it when it happens My wife doesn't drink, at all. This is perfectly fine by me.
