I always saw it more as the Honda Civic of bourbons. Not too pricey, not too fancy, dependable, and consistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Today wasn’t as good as yesterday at work, but it still was a decent day over all. Back patio time with the last pour from a generous sample of 2019 GTS courtesy of Galvin0791. A couple of drops of water and a few chunks of ice, and this one is really hitting on all cylinders. Ridiculously good! Biba! Joe 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G L Tirebiter Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Sipping a little Larceny, neat. Not sure how may palate is developing but I must be drinking too many higher proof expressions. This seems to have nice flavor but a short-ish finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzhead Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Be Cool, says Eddie Henderson, and I say that means OF Bonded from a dimple bottle. Being able to try it side by side with the current juice just points up the ageless quality of this bourbon. Same as it ever was. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Double BT at ATL Sky Club. I went with the double because this is my first flight since Covid, and I’m almost to the plane and I haven’t F’d up, yet. My brain does hurt though, trying to remember all the old flying dos and don’ts, plus keeping alert to all the new ones…. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 It’s been a really crazy, different week at work. Our distribution center opened in 1991, and we’re celebrating our 30th anniversary this week. Daily fun and games etc. Today we received a free lunch courtesy of our distribution center manager cooking out on the grill. Brats and hotdogs plus the usual side items. Today we had a visit from our Corporate Operations Manager. He’s the head honcho responsible for our 9 North American distribution centers. I got to chat with him briefly. He remembered me from previous visits to our facility. Somehow he knew of my upcoming retirement, and he congratulated me on my retirement and thanked me for my 28 years of service with the company. How ‘bout that! Although I was saving several nice low fill bottles til my retirement was more at hand, I decided to celebrate a little early and finish them off today. Back patio time with the last pours from a Weller CYPB, a Pappy 15, and last, but certainly not least, a 2018 WLW. “Don’t get much better’n that Vern.” The only downside to all this is that he gave us an update on the 2022 opening of our new facility in, of all places, Louisville. If only……. LOL! Biba! Joe 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Having a bunch of work done on the house. All things are beyond my scope. Toasting a week worth of construction with some ECBP. Not certain of the batch. A little on the hot side so I would guess a C series. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you had a few enjoyable pours, just because. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Everyone's out of town except me and the dog, so after I put some work to bed I grabbed him and went to the beach. An MPG kinda night, with a waxing moon to light up the night breeze. Later it'll be the dog's turn to scope it all out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 It was just a meh day at work today. I started my after work patio time with the last small pour from a bottle of MM. It was pretty good. I wanted another pour, so a healthy pour of my 2021 Weller Blend is now in my Glencairn. It’s real good. Biba! Joe 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
