What Bourbon Are You Drinking - Fall 2023

[Phil T]

Went deep on the shelf to find something I had forgotten about. A small pour is hitting the spot.

 

Prost!!  Phil

I see you keep all the most important items in the same cabinet.

I get a (small) pour from Mrs. Clueby's (aka Grammy) LBP bottle from HH YDB. I'm not a huge Larceny fan but this stuff is delicious.

Followed up with a little EC18. I know EC18 gets a bad rap...it's too woody, it's too low proof, etc..but I've always really enjoyed it.

Some HMcK10 and 1792 12yr while enjoying this view on the last work trip of the year.

A new store pick. Pretty tasty.

[MTNBourbon]

Been awhile since I've had something from EC, glad I found this bottle, getting close to HAZEMAT. Cinnamon, dark cherries, vanilla, licorice, very nice burn/sweetness.

Nice! I'll be curious as to feedback on Black Saddle. I have a client who swears by it every time we talk.

It’s definitely worth picking up a bottle. Nothing wow, but a good low proof sipper. 

 

Do we know who distills it?  I looked at the bottle once but I didn't see where it was distilled.   Indiana MGP maybe?

Now home for the remainder of the year and holiday break begins on Saturday. Two double BTs were enjoyed on the plane.

I was here back in August and they put me in the exact same room as then so I know have multiples of this exact view. I always bring my own bourbon in sample bottles for the room drinking.

Definitely not MGP. My 1st guess was BT, but I’m not sure. I know BT does not source to much out. 

[MTNBourbon]

Been awhile.

Those older ones are better in my experience. I've got one on deck myself to open pretty soon.

Do tell.  What's your blend bill (unless it's a family secret)?

I had a short pour of HH6BiB to warm up the ole palate. 

 

The nuttiness note in HH hit the spot, but that nuttiness gave me an even better idea:  Almonds.  Therefore I reached for Barrell batch #26.  In my glass now.  Yes I'll say the word ...  marzipan.

Equal parts EW BIB, JW Dant BIB  and JTS Brown BIB. Easy peasy.
