I've got over 50 open so I don't see me opening anything new today, but what about you?

Is it Spring yet?

Yep.  Today is the first day of Spring 2020

Really?  Ok, I did not know this, and I apologize to my good friend CardsandBourbon.  But now that I have this opening, I did try the new 16 yr, KC single barrel that I had obtained a few days ago this afternoon.  In a nutshell, very, very good.  Definitely some wood present.  But if you like old KC then you will like this one.  I for one like some oakiness with my bourbon, and this KC has that in spades.  I am very pleased.

Why bother starting a new thread on this topic if you don't open anything? 50+ open bottles is no excuse! C'mon man!

OK.  You both embarrassed me.  I shall go downstairs to the bar and open something tonight and then shamefully report back to you.  Wish I could have grabbed one of the 16 year KC bottles.  I love the older KC stuff.

I'll do the same (but without the shame part :D )

Finishing off my first week as teacher daddy with the kids at home for the next 3 weeks. That coupled with wanting to make sure I keep at least 60% alcohol in the veins, I opened some Stagg Jr. and ECBP C918 this afternoon. Cheers to more bourbon this weekend!

My goodness this is a spectacular bourbon. Puts the 2012 I have open to shame (sorry Steve). Nose it once and you know you've got FR, but amped up to 11. Vanilla, cherry and some dark chocolate along with more goodies I can't identify (not too good at that). I believe this was the last one that JR was involved with and boy did he go out on top!

OK.  Bottle opened (I hope you're happy Vosgar & smokinjoe).  Recently picked up a bottle of Fighting Cock and decided that would be the pour de jour (it rhymes . . . get it).  Anyway I really enjoyed it while watching Secretariat.

2015 is a great year for this one!!

Still perplexed that you don't like that '12 though!

We already had a "What bottle did you open today 2020" thread that could be used for the whole year. I don't get this race to be the first to create new threads.

Ain’t no big thang. If most here are like me, it’s pretty boring going with the flow and sheltering in place.   :mellow:

Thanks Kepler. It’s all good. My two week head start was because of shoulder surgery.

Our office has been working from home starting this week and we had our first ever virtual beer:30 yesterday via Microsoft Teams which is a platform that I didn't even know existed until this week.

It worked out exceptionally well and it was so good to see the familiar faces of my co-workers. We may have to do a virtual gazebo in late April.

Why wait until then? An official weekly SB virtual tasting event could be very interesting.
