Often facing each other. I used to thing that dogs only faced the north to poop but I don't believe my dogs adhere to that rule. The things we learn while drinking America's drink...no not Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi... bourbon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamMatt Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Started with a bit of Blue Note Juke Joint UCUF barrel pick, moving on to ECBP C922. Probably tick with this for the duration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 A freshly opened OGD114 over a cube. Glorious. Sitting out front listening to Braves on the radio, and although it is 70 degrees, it feels a bit Fall-ish. Long sleeves for me, tonight! Wussy… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know how to respond to that. Never had a tick problem here in the burbs, but have battled raccoons, skunks, and possums, and currently we have had a lot of "ankle biter" mosquitos and spiders. I've relocated (to hell) two brown widows and their webs in my deck box and one in my trash bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carry on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer the standard MM 46 CS over the various private selections and stave variations. Thanks! I got the glass at the Bowman distillery a few years ago. We rarely buy anything at distilleries, but I always have a bottle of the John J Bowman SB on hand, and wanted a decanter for it. I got a nice looking one, along with that glass. They have a really slick logo. I was gifted one of the private selections bottles, but I don't see myself dusting the cobwebs out of my wallet to pony up for one. This one good, but the MM 46 CS is better. That being said, I think that the MM101 is the best of the bunch... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows how many ECBP batches in the past could have carried an older age statement than 12 years, if HH wanted to publish it that way? Well, it's just a hypothetical question that we will never know the answer to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I was working in the yard when a much needed shower popped up. Since it was too much to continue, I decided to grab a freezer pour (HH 6 yr. Green label) and head indoors. First world problems. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamMatt Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Getting back to my July road trip bottles, we are moving on to Lucky Seven Holiday Toast Batch 6. KSBW, distilled in KY, bottled by Bardstown Bourbon Company, NAS but with a secondary aging in toasted new American oak barrels. Beautiful dark golden color, apparently from the secondary aging. Wonderful nose that presents different notes as you progress. The classic vanilla and caramel are on the bottom layer, with baking spices on top, almost an apple pie note, with subtle age notes of sweet pipe tobacco and cardboard. Just got one whiff of absolute buttered French toast with maple syrup. That note keeps popping up. Makes me want some bacon. Not too much ethanol for 115 proof. Creamy mouthfeel, the ethanol hits harder up front on the palate that the nose would suggest. Nose notes mostly translate to the palate, though I'm not getting as much buttered French toast as I would like. I have had this once before when I was in Bardstown and my recollection is that I got more of the French toast on the palate than this time so it might be my palate, or the fact that this is my first bourbon of the day, or that it is a fresh crack and has not opened up yet. Oh, now I am getting some on the finish, which is quite long. I look forward to revisiting this one over the months to come. I truly think I am going to go to my favorite breakfast place tomorrow for French toast and bacon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Was going to limit myself to one WSR pour tonight, but LOML fell asleep on the couch and left me unsupervised. OF 100 bottle gestured from across the room. "You had me at bourbon," I whispered, as I slowly turned the delicate metal screw cap in a counterclockwise direction. I feel so dirty. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 MM again. Tonight, it’s for a different reason. It was season ticket holder appreciation day today at Wrigley Field. I wasn’t able to go into the MM Barrel Room when we went to the Cubs game 8 days ago. We were able to today. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
