IamMatt Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Not watching Justified but I am enjoying my blend of 60% Eagle Rare/40% Benchmark Full Proof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFingers Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Having a pour of EW 1783 in honor of FDU beating Purdue. FDU used to play in my hometown before that campus closed. Have alot of friends that went there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 It's been a roller coaster of a week. What better way to wind it down than some magic from heaven hill. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next pour will be a bourbon though. Redbreast 12 last night for me. Tonight, some 1792 FP over a large chunk of clear ice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I've been on a road trip to Spring Training in Arizona with two of my brothers in law, with stops in Las Vegas and Williams, AZ. Something I've never done and always wanted to do. Yesterday we saw the Angels crush the Royals , 12- 2, on a perfect afternoon. Most of trip we've been drinking 804 and a handle of Jack, but while in Williams on Wednesday we ate at the Grand Canyon Distillery and I got to enjoy both their straight bourbon and single malt. The bourbon is wheated and aged between 2 and 5 years and quite respectable. I'd drink this before Weller SR or McKenzie; it has a sweet pecan taste that's balanced and held up both as a barstool sipper and paired with an excellent pulled pork sandwich. I enjoyed speaking with the distiller and conveying my enthusiasm. My only constructive criticism was the low 80 proof. At, say, 92 proof it would maintain its balance and not overpower the delicate wheat sweetness. Too bad my airline charges $30 to check a bag or I'd be bringing a bottle home. Today it's Dodgers - White Sox under another blanket of blue. Edited March 18, 2023 by Jazzhead 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Two appropriate pours just before the day ends. I remember really liking the ‘18 a few years ago, and it still lives up to the memory! The ‘21 is great as well, but I personally like the oak forwardness of the’18 a tad bit more. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFingers Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Having a pour of Rebel 100. Passed this up many times and decided to give it a try after finding it on sale at the VA ABC. I like it much better than Larceny but wheaters aren't usually my thing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 EC18 with a friend. A bit more than the usual weekday 2 oz after a stressful but productive Monday. Or at least I think that a 40% of the bottle (it sips so easily) divided by two is > 2 oz. "Oops, I did it again". This one really is "just the right oak" for me. Any more and it'd be bitter. Of course it is a SiB, so we'll see what the others hold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) So my plan backfired spectacularly tonight. Watching the Blues hockey game tonight (an OT loss to the Red Wings ) Mrs. Clueby asked for a pour. I poured her some craft/small distillery bourbon that I'm not crazy about and poured myself some KC120 store pick. She asked what she was drinking and complained that it wasn't good. I told her what it was. A few minutes later she gets up, pours the rest of her drink into my my KC120 and proceeds to pour herself something she does like...ER10. Now...I didn't lie and tell her mine was the same, but I also didnt tell her mine was different. So I had to drink this abomination with a smile on my face. Lesson learned.

As a die-hard Red Wings fan . . . sorry/not sorry Although props to Blues for recognizing David Perron! On topic - enjoying a nice pour of OGD 114 which is hitting all of the right notes. That lovely slightly burnt corner brownie piece that @smokinjoe pointed out to me years ago (and now almost every sip of OGD 114 brings front and center) - just all around delicious. Miss the former price point, but what bourbon couldn't that be said for these days? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here OGD114 seems to be approximately the same price point around $24ish. I don't go back that far with it, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosmith Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Four Roses Single Barrel for dessert after a wonderful meal of braised beef short ribs at my favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek, Va De Vi. Quite delicious! Interestingly, the pour was the same price on the menu as Blanton's. The choice was a no brainer... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Europe they may have old nr 7 and some choice in Scotch/Irish, but that's it..... Means I need to have the desert when I get back home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
