JvW Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 CEHTSmB is hitting the spot tonight...been a while and I like it. JvW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Maybe a smaller pour to start with. That’s a large pour for 60% bourbon. Hope you enjoy them. They pack a punch but also have tremendous flavor. Maybe this belongs somewhere else but I find I’m able to get more from the smell and even the taste when I do small pours in my Glencairn glass. I try to keep my pour below midpoint of the bulge section. You can’t properly nose if it’s too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Well, tonight I did something I never never (well, hardly ever) do - took a CEHT and made a cocktail instead of drinking it neat. While doing dishes, I made a Manhattan with the CEHT rye and Dolins sweet vermouth. 4 OZ of CEHT plus 2 OZ of Dolins plus twelve drops of Angostura got me through the dishes AND the nine minute, a capella rendition of the Star Spangled Banner before the Nats @ Astros started. Oh, yeah - three ice cubes. EDIT - DANG CAT!! I jusdt tried to take a sip and found my glass EMPTY! Quelle fromage.

Keeping the pour level below the midpoint of the bulge section will definitely allow you to nose properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t mind needing to pour more often, I need the exercise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alcohol is stronger on the bottom and mutes the vapors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 5 hours ago, flahute said: YOUR CAT DRINKS BOURBON!!!??? Don't they ALL? I mean, we all assume dogs are Bourbon drinkers without a comprehensive study as of yet; but cats are widely known to choose Bourbon over any other distilled spirit. Ask my son; he'll tell you! That's where most his stash has gone over the years... and nearly all of the good stuff (which has disappeared under mysterious circumstances), which I know he saves to share with me. Right????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double C's Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Last night was a pour of OGD 114 that I have had open for a while and it really hit the spot. May have to revisit this bottle on a more frequent basis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 9 hours ago, flahute said: YOUR CAT DRINKS BOURBON!!!??? Technically, rye, but as it’s Harry’s cat I think it has a good number of whiskeys secreted around the house and in the yard, including bourbon I’m sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Awesome price on that bottle. I wish they were close to that price in my area.Yeah me too, this was actually by someone in Oklahoma who gave it to me. Last time I saw one of these was nearly a year ago in Louisiana and I believe $10 more. To be honest I’m not much of a fan anymore, wished I picked up another bottle of the Louisiana stores 14 year pick of KC instead of ECBP it was awesome.

BMartin42 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 WT 101 nightcap after a couple BT’s at the bar during Team Trivia league. Missed winning because nobody on our team has ever seen Brokeback Mountain. Knew the final word of the movie for Shawshank, Princess Bride, Big Lebowski, but not that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
