What Bourbon Are You Drinking Today (Winter 2021)

[Kjbarth]

WT101 for Bills/Chiefs after a few pours of Guinness for Purdue/Northwestern bball and Rams/Bucs. This WT is hitting the spot perfectly! Another pour for 2nd half is coming.

Three straight playoff games ended on a field goal as time expired.  I hope the Bills-Chiefs game ends up the same way.  Started out with a nice pour of FRSiB before dinner.  Now, sitting down to watch the game with a pour of WT101.  Both have hit the spot but WT101 will be my second half pour as well.  Enjoy the game and the bourbon!

GW4G in mass quantities following dinner - BBQ kalbi beef with chinese vegetables - and Chiefs/Bills game w/SWMBO (from Buffalo).  Don't care, but made to care . . . . . . .

Classic Bakers this evening.

[Rhettro]

After a couple of cold beers, I’m putting a respectable dent in a bottle of HH Green Label while catching up on the Bills-Chiefs game.  

[Double C's]

watching the bills & chiefs. Killed this bottle I received as a Christmas gift. I found it was better suited over an ice cube instead of poured neat. My follow up pour is the same as most tonight, WT101.

[FasterHorses]

No football but a couple nice pours of OWA with an early end to dry January.

Enjoying some 101 this evening.

So, did your hope pan out? The last 2 mins and OT it was just one WOW after another! Maybe the best game where I didn't have an actual rooting interest that I've ever seen.

This bottle went from "What did you purchase" to "what are you drinking" to "what did you finish" in 2 hours.  It was tasty.

This will be missed, 2019 was a good year.  I believe there is another in the bunker.

^^^^^^^^^^

This right here is part of the reason that college football was so much fun in the past.

AL - AU

OK -Ne

OSU - MI

Were just some of the games that I had no stake in but enjoyed them for their own merit and rivalry...

Doing one of those as I type...

As a long-time Bills fan growing up in Central NY, and attending UB, last nights game was a heartbreaker. Something needs to be done with the OT format. Oh...was drinking Dickel BIB 13yr.

Busy day today, started off with some Old Tub and following up with KC.

Throwdown tonight,  between two MGP giants.   Similar proofs,  same 36% rye recipe,  the main difference is blending philosophies.  SWUCUF uses barrels aged from 4 to 9 years,  they say to add more fruit character to the blend.

 

They succeed; the UCUF is sweeter up front but adds the luxurious graininess (that's how I describe it) of aged bourbon at the back end, all with superb balance.

 

But I'm struck that the Belle Meade Reserve is easily the superior pour.   There is greater age apparent (I'd guess 7 -9 year barrels),  and the fruit character has simply deepened,  like ripe blackberries.  Side by side, both are brilliant but the nod goes to Belle Meade.   Jazz in a glass.  MGP and these master blenders rock.

[CardsandBourbon]

107 proof night.  Killed off a bottle of Baker's and OWA.

Three straight games with walk off field goals and the fourth game says "hold my beer".

I was thinking whoever wins the coin toss wins this, and I was right.

Maybe consider letting both teams have a possession, regardless of first possession TD, or simply play all the time on the clock to the end like in a normal quarter.

If I were a Bills fan,  I'd sure feel cheated by the OT rules.   The coin flip simply gives too big an edge to the winner.   That was magnified by the fact that both teams' defenses appeared helpless.  

 

It had to have been one of the greatest games, in any sport, that I've ever seen.

While I agree with most of what you say, this loss is squarely on the HC.  He bungled the final 13 secs in regulation, starting with the kickoff.

I agree - kicking the ball into the end zone left the full 13 seconds on the clock,  with the Chiefs still holding their timeouts.   A short kick that would have forced a return would have burned at least 5 seconds, I'd think, essentially preventing even the amazing Mahomes from having time to work his miracle.

Having weathered the domestic storm after Buffalo LOST, drinking GW4G with Shortbread Girl Scout cookies tonite.  Notice a pattern in my recent drinking choices????  This stuff is really, really good!   

 

Good thing I'm stocked up on WSR and OGD114, eh?

While I thoroughly enjoyed the game, THIS was unforgivable!!!

To stay on topic, I LOVE BOURBON!!!

 

[markandrex]

Opened up some WR Woodford  Very Fine Rare bourbon this evening.
