mbroo5880i Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Summer already? Started with a couple of pours of FRSiB. It is back to its spectacular self. This barrel is stellar. Followed up with a couple of pours of Still Austin Barrel Strength. Both are enjoyable. 74 degrees F at close to 10 pm in the Indy area. Nice summer evening. Summer pours are always special. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Dickel BiB 11 yr distilled in 2008. Pretty tasty with cherry and citrus notes. Delicious. No Flintstones vitamins at all. My wife usually hates Dickel because of the vitamin note but I handed her the glass and she said, "Oh, this is good. What is it?" Haha.

Summer pours are always special. 74 degrees? That ain't summer! 100 degrees across Texas for the next week: now that is summer! So I pull out my big cubes of ice from the freezer. Prideful Goat 15yr in my glass, over a big cube. Cheers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title should be, “What bourbon are you drink tonight?”? What sense THAT make? Sister Mary Cookiejar, that four foot tall nun with the BIG ruler who taught English grammar, be rolling around right now. Mother Duck! We all going to perdition. Is JD BIB from DSP-TENN-1 which has me by the short hairs tonight. Nats vs. Mariners in Seattle is moving in front of me. I sure hope I stay awake at least through the fifth inning. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grady330 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Yesterday. Col EHT Small Batch, MM BEP, followed by WT 101. Neat as always. Damn good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 A good buddy of mine gave me this sample well over a year ago. It's EC12 bottled in the 1986 (which I believe is one of the first years for EC12. This is magical. The complexity, for a 94 prooofer, is astounding. The color is a little darker than how it looks in the photo. This is only the 2nd pour of prefire heaven hill I've ever had. The other was 15yr Virgin Bourbon 101 from the early to mid 90s. Both are incredible. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 OF Statesman here, after 9 hours of driving wrapped around a call on a great customer that went pretty well. I had to use some statesmanship, to work through a couple of delicate and minor friction points that I wanted to clean up to everyone’s satisfaction. Still some work to do, but it’ll get done. Not quite U Thant work here, but I just sell plastic… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite U Thant work here, but I just sell plastic… Love the reference to Statesman(ship). It sounds like selling plastics is similar to selling tooling and other items for manufacturing. My son has similar stories. Small pour of MM in the glass shortly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
