Phil T Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Every year on Thanksgiving, I open a WT, like a lot of us. I'm my case, it is a vintage Turkey. This year, I have solicited the opinion of several family members to help determine what I will open. I have yet to make a decision. Among my options are 8yr, 12yr, WTKS including pewter top, and barrel proof. I'll post a picture when we make a decision! Post your drink here!! Prost!!

GaryT Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Can't claim to be opening anything new, but planning to enjoy a pour of my own Turkey creation: WTRB 'finished' with a port-infused 'time & oak' for a couple of weeks. I've used standard T&O sticks infused with tawny port in several bottles (LOVED what it did to a Talisker Storm), and this turned out really well. Happy Thanksgiving SB! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjbarth Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Nothing vintage, just plain old WT101. A little turkey with the turkey. Happy Thanksgiving! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcheer Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) I had a wonderful drink this afternoon. We were watching the dog show, and it struck me to have a bourbon. Since it was Thanksgiving Day, I decided to choose something special. Digging back in my cabinet, I found a bottle of Rock Hill Farms. It must have been from around 2000-2005. And it was amazing. Rich with strong spicy notes. I haven't had anything that good for years. Happy Thanksgiving, or what's left of it, everyone!

apt43bear Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 The family decided they didn’t want turkey (wanted prime rib as main meat), so I had to get my turkey fill in somehow. Went with a drinkthrough of various Wild Turkey bottles instead. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched the dog show as well. Claire the Scottish Deerhound won for the second year in a row! I was still able to watch the exciting - I am being facetious - end to the Bears-Lions game. In the words of StuGotz, "Andy "Freakin' Dalton." A 100 proof version of the AA profile from the early '00s. Stellar selection! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Happy Turkey day y’all. I’m doing my part. Have some of the 13 year export from a sample in my glass and enjoying these below. No pewter top WTKS though.

I really enjoyed the Kentucky spirit - can’t say it is “worth” the premium over regular 101 but the flavors did pop a bit more, so maybe it was worth it haha. Regular 101 though is so good for what it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I'm having the standard WT 101. I have to confess, I've never been able to bunker any of the fancier versions. Those get opened directly. Years ago, I just happened to drop into a local store. The two Mr. Russells were pouring samples of Master's Keep 17 and Decades. Made my day. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Just home from a great Turkey Day with the extended family. None of them are bourbon drinkers unfortunately. My normal go to would be WT101 or RB, but the family is very much about lower proof. Brought some RR10 to share and it was quite nice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil T Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Of course, the cork was a dried out, crumbly mess!! And since we are in a hotel for a couple nights, I've had to improvise on the straining process. I hope everyone enjoyed their day yesterday. Prost!!

kcgumbohead Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Revival has become my Thanksgiving pour and doling it out this way is making it last a bit longer than it otherwise might, damn delicious!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
