mbroo5880i Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Tonight, I started with a nice 2.5 ounce pour of FRSBS. As mentioned earlier in this thread, it works well as a first or after dinner pour. It met both criteria. Followed up with another 2.5 ounce pour of CEHT BP 129.0 proof. I proofed it down to 107.5...an awesome sweet spot. I might have another small pour before turning in for the night. I am weak in resistance but strong in interest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3Nut Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Had a squirt of EC earlier...having a little EWSB presently. Down to less than a 1/4 of the bottle of ER so I'm thinking I'll save that. I really love EWSB @$20 a bottle at Costco...any time I go to Costco running errands a bottle seems to jump into my cart...strange how they do that!

If only this was a few years ago I could have helped out with real photos. The small farm right behind my subdivision had several buffalo/American Bison. I used to feed them my grass clippings. The big one (his name was Ray-Ray) really liked peppermint candy, too. They were gentle but so big that they still posed a danger because they kept escaping. They would slowly just push the fence until they could just walk out. Our subdivision made the news several times due to escapes. We were out of town and caught a news story where the reporter was literally standing in my yard. I know at least one had to be killed because they couldn't get him rounded back up.

PaulO Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 WT 101 celebrating the removal of the deck from the back of the house. The deck was starting to get rough, and other issues. I had a crew working hard all day. It also felt good to me because I suspect some of their business had slowed. The plan is eventually get a patio, maybe a fire pit and grill. There is a gas line back there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshall9779 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Was in the mood last night and bottle was begging to be killed. Healthy pour of B519 to finish it off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Phase 2 1/2 of physical therapy for my shoulder earlier this afternoon. They had me do/gave me even more strenuous stretching exercises today. It sure breaks the monotony of hunkering down at home, but I have to say it's a bit humbling. Hot d**n! I felt the need to self medicate when I got home. Wayne !?!?? Biba! Joe 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I've been semi-rationing this bottle for over a year. I dont mind the Beam peanut, but the absence of it in this barrel puts it up there with great RR SIB picks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Side-by-siding a couple of KC single barrels, a 12 year and a 14++ year. I go back and forth on these. They are both outstanding and very different. The younger bottle has a brightness that washes over the entire palate. It rings out like a bell. The older is much deeper and darker. The first is barnyard and the second is tackroom. Neither one is over-woody to my taste. Gorgeous whiskies, both. Apologies for the frosted glasses. I'm stuck in quarantine away from the finer things. First World problems. Edited April 28, 2020 by scratchline wife 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCWoody Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I decided to stick with BT and poured one of my “back in the day” favorite daily pours, RHF (when it was on the shelf year around). This is a bottle from 2019, and it’s really good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never seen a turkey on our property in the 30 yrs since we built the house. Yesterday I saw him/her again, strutting across the lawn and this afternoon the damn bird was on my deck. Took that as the final hint needed to open that 5th bottle of WT. Wouldn't ya know, the f'ing cork broke. I don't know what kind of karma is floating around me, but I thought screw it, I'll deal with the bottle tomorrow and poured some Ritt DSP-354. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The old man went running today. No soccer so I gotta do something. I ran yesterday so I wasn't planning to run today. Plus, it has been really windy lately. I feel like I am swimming up stream. Anyway, my motivation was if I run, I get to enjoy an early week pour. It was such a difficult run one way that I decided I deserved two pours. Of course, after running into the wind on the first leg and knowingly the wind would be in my back on the return route, the wind practically blew me home. My pours were FRSBS and ECBP. Hmmm...maybe I will go for a run again tomorrow. Nah, its suppose rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
