Rhettro Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I opened my first Early Times one litre this evening. It's really a pleasant sipper. Approachable, reasonably complex yet undemanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomLamb Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Had a little WSR last night. Definitely more approachable then when I first cracked it 6 months ago. Seems to have mellowed out more and more of the harshness/irregularities are gone. Good stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm having a pour from a sample of 90 proof Clark & Sheffield bourbon left to me by Vosgar. It ain't half bad. As a matter of fact, it's pretty decent. Interesting and a bit surprising in a good way. Hmmmmm. Let's see.... the nearest Binny's is 52.3 miles away. It's too bad the one being built here isn't finished yet. FWIW, I stopped by to take a look at it a couple days ago. They're busy as beavers, and it's shaping up rather nicely. A few more weeks. A few more weeks........ Biba! Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parksmart Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Met up again with @fosmith for a socially distanced HH. As always, he was a generous host. ‘Twas great to catch up with him, as well as deliver the bottles I’d picked up for him over the past several months. Enjoyed pours of the following with him: Old Crow (1999 bottle date) WT81 (2011 laser code) George Dickel 13 year SAOS 5 year (K&L PS) W.B. Saffel HH BIB 7 year Old Potrero Rye Barrel Proof Revival Jimmy Red Corn Four Square 2007 rum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I haven’t starting drinking yet, but it will happen. I’ll probably be climbing some variation of the Weller ladder. After being sidelined for almost 6 months following rotator cuff surgery, I‘m headed back to work Friday. Biba! Joe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Well look on the bright side. You only missed 6wks of work. Hope you've had a full recovery but those shoulders will stay soft for an "old man". I'm protecting mine as I type.

IamMatt Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Last night I started with a pour of Russell's Reserve 10-year. It tasted so unpleasant I almost poured it out. I switched to Knob Creek 9-yr. It didn't bother me about the RR: just confirmed that every whiskey doesn't taste the same every day. Usually I find it delicious, and I'm sure it will next time.

L to R is my normal assumption but not with that WLW sitting over there. Closing with your own blend is awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeySnakes Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Like the past coupla nights, about 2oz. of VOB 100, in a rocks glass, and then put in the freezer for about 1/2 hour. Chills down perfect and hits the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
