Being in Hawaii is a lot better that New England right now - we had our first frost warning last night and put a blanket on the bed. Thanks! Yeah, the cold weather can come on suddenly for sure. We are having an odd start to October here as we haven't had any rain yet and nothing is in the forecast for a while so we're having an extended summer. The only downside is that it's coming with wildfire smoke! The rain will be here soon enough and when it arrives it will be here for a LONG time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Back from Hawaii and recovering from the case of covid I picked up. All in all not too bad - this has been easier than any cold or flu I've ever had. With my sinuses being a bit compromised the bourbon has not been tasting that great so I've been working on a bottle of VOB100 that normally tastes youngish and grain forward but it my current state it tastes decent so I will attempt to kill this bottle as long as I'm in this state. (To be clear, this is not a case of losing taste and smell due to covid - lot's of things taste normal. It's just the nuances of bourbon that are getting lost so I don't want to waste good pours while I'm like this). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High proof, youngish whiskies can be great when you want to enjoy a pour but your palate is feeling off due to a cold. VOB100 isn't expensive so it is a good option in that scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VOB is actually tasting better to me in this state so I'll take advantage of it while I can. And you are absolutely correct - I've done similar things in the past when I had a cold. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 After drinking rye most of the weekend, I decided to opt for bourbon on Sunday Night as I prepare for another work week. Started out with a nice pour of OE7 BS. I have never had the OE Distillers Collection BS which is only 4 years old for about the same price. Of course, it is everywhere while OE7 BS is practically a unicorn. I am curious how they compare. I will follow up with a nice pour of ECBP 0522 as my night cap. My wife is making me watch Celebrity Jeopardy instead of the football game. As long as I have bourbon and Constance Wu is on, I am good. I can catch the second half. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSurfer55 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Finally back after being gone for another two weeks. Got the call from Hospice regarding my Brother in law and had to drop everything to head back to Louisiana. He passed away on the 30th but my wife and daughter had a good day with him on the 29th. Funeral was on the 2nd. He had been in very poor health for the two years prior so in some respects, I am glad that he is no longer suffering. He worked until he went into hospice. He was at retirement age but refused to retire until he had maximized his retirement which would have been in December. Got back on the 7th so just now posting. Had to go to my local store to replenish my well whiskeys (WT101 and BT). Tried some of each and am still pleasantly surprised at how good these are. I did see that Mega-Bev had a barrel pick of Yellowstone available for ~$60. Has anyone tried it and would recommend it at this price? Now trying to catch up on work emails as well as my personal bookkeeping. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
