markandrex Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I was taking the dog out after dinner and the wife asked if I wanted a bourbon. Rhetorical, right? I told her to surprise me. She picked the Remus Repeal V and quite the heavy-handed pour. Man, I love that woman! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having returned from NYC about a week ago, I can testify that the aroma isn't all that distinctive anymore.

Double C's Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Last night was a pour of WT101 while I worked on some last minute changes to my bow before our archery season opens next weekend. I have strayed away from it for a while from some unknown reason, but was reminded last night that I need to revisit the WT101 on a more regular basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayouredd Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Rough work week! What brings happiness? A freezer pour of MM. Next, an Old Soul SiB. After, we'll wait 'til that time get's here... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzhead Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) It's been stinkin' hot all day, but it's a bit cooler now as I sit on and the porch and sip before the Phillies get underway. Enjoying another blended concoction of 50/50 Four Roses Small Batch Select and Michter's Single Barrel Rye. I love these bou-ryes, and this one's a combination I'll repeat again. The goal was to up the sweetness while lowering the proof to under 100, but these two just mesh like the gears of a timepiece.

PaulO Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I got around to opening the Stedman's Select I bought on a lark. I was slightly dismayed to discover the 36 month age statement while reading the label more closely in the bright light of my kitchen. (I thought it was no age statement - 4 years). Anyway, how does it taste - on the sweet side, not complicated, no rough edges. It's really a lot like the Clark & Sheffield I brought home from Binny's. Nothing wrong with it, considering I paid <$15. Next time though, I'll go to one of my favorite stores and spend just a few bucks more for the VOB 100. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomm Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Fall seems to be rapidly approaching in the Great Midwest, but nevertheless I enjoyed for a second consecutive day a lovely freezer pour of Ancient Ancient Age. So sweet and easy going from the icebox. Even better, I decanted it from the handle into a previously conquered FRSiB bottle so it would fit better in the freezer. It's a scientifically proven fact that bourbon makes an effort to rise to the quality level of the container in which it resides. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Last night, second pour, switched to OF 100 - much better. Now we're in the wheel house. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davesnothere Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 This one has a great bourbon nose, sweet and floral on the first sip, initial finish is similar to novocaine, but a minute later it turns to sweet caramel. I'm still debating if I want to buy a second bottle. It is a fantastic 10 year bourbon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Finished off my last HMcK BIB 10 YR #2498 (which is one of the few (less than four) SiB's I have HUNTED - bought six+ during a 4-hour drive hitting VA ABC stores on the ABC delivery route). Was still thirsty while watching the delayed Dodgers @ Nats game so reached into the shelf and picked out an ER 10YR 90 proof I bought and opened a few weeks ago. I'm limiting how much of it I sip as I had two 5% ABV few beers early afternoon today and don't want to drink just to drink. My sweet spot usually is 5 to 8 yrs @ 100 proof, but this is really nice for closing out the day. Good night, you all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomm Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Just in case it would influence your choice of libation, I have learned through the interwebs that today is Jimmy Russell's 69th Anniversary at Wild Turkey. For reference, that's about 34 more years than I plan to give to my present place of employment, but then again, my job isn't nearly as fun (or rewarding). Whatever you're drinking, raise a glass to Jimmy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
