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

 

Nice, thanks Joe and it sounds very good.  I don't get JTS BiB here in Texas.  But I just so happen to have a stash of HH6BiB procured from Kentucky. I bet I can substitute that in my own blend.  Or maybe the FC6yr will work too.   I may just have to give this a whirl one of these days.

Please don’t add the HH 6 BIB to any blend. It’s fine all by itself.

 Yes you are right, it is.  I know this, because I've been sipping on one tonight (alternating with Barrell batch 26 I might add).  But at $ 9.99 per bottle and with another case in my bunker, I'm fine blending HH6BiB with other bourbons.  Yes, you are free to throw rotten tomatoes at me, because I know I'm an ass.  LOL

No love for TW Samuels?

Gotta check. Don’t remember seeing it around here. The last bottles I had were purchased in Bardstown ages ago.

[Kepler]

So nobody's drinking bourbon today?  You do realize it's Saturday right?

 

Okay, I will then.  Barrell bourbon batch #26 in my glass now.

Last night's bourbon night was a good one. That WT 1855 was amazing. I really enjoyed 2022 THH even though many folks didn't.  I admit I didn't get to try the JPS18. The guy brought the empty bottle to have a candle made.

Very nice lineup.  I hope you all killed that Booker's 25th.  Looks like it's dangerously low.

I just got home from my wife’s concert and sitting down to a WLW waiting on her.

[Double C's]

had a pour of Benchmark bonded earlier. Sitting down with a store pick Penelope Architect pour now.

I'm having FRYL after getting my Christmas tree up and watching the Colts beat the Steelers.

 

Mt 1990s vintage lights finally quit working.  They had a control box that you could set for several different patterns of blinking. I thought it was a cool effect.  That's how it goes with electronics, works until it doesn't.  I bought new lights that are colored LEDs.

Lit the pink candle too, well actually turned it on.  It's an LED too.

They make the best fried chicken.

The whiskey ain't bad either

[fishnbowljoe]

I opened my newly purchased Blanton’s. To quote @Vosgar, “Same as it ever was.” 

[Kepler]

So my wife tells me that I drink too much and I buy too much whiskey.

 

Now I have I have SB.com on my ass too?  I give up.

You made me remember the mural on the back wall of my band room in junior high.  “MUSIC MOVES THE WORLD”. Cheers brother!

That WT 1855 was the '94 one, right? Nice!

Not sure of the year. Was just told "90s". It was indeed very nice.

Starting with a ECBP C922, sooo Good!!!

Got up early (for me) today circa 8AM so I could do indoor and outdoor chores before the Army-Navy game march-on started at Noon (USPS run, trash/recycle removal, porch furniture covered before Sunday rains, golf cart covered and plugged in to the charger, leaves blown around so it looks like I "cleaned up" the yard, etc.).  Got most done before Noon, and did the rest after the march-on finished at 1:30pm and before the game started at 3PM.  Settled into my Laz-y-Boy by kickoff with OE 7yr 101 by my right hand.  I still have about two inches in the 750.  I sure hope it lasts through the fourth quarter.

 

I sure hope I notice when the game is over.  I'd hate to just sit here through dinner.

Harry, my whiskey club does a Bottle Share every year for the Army-Navy Game.  Here's some of what I was drinking.  And eating.

Started with a GW4G. (props to Frank & Anwalt for that)

 

Now, doing a Ben Holladay. This is my 3rd pour from this newly acquired bottle & I must say, "I Am Impressed!" A damn shame that I picked this up at TW. I don't think I will see it at the local LS's.

I enjoy Holladay too; only had the BIB so far.  I got a notice offering both the ryed and the wheated in cask strength but I am REALLY trying to limit my buying.

You know it's tough when you can't even TALK about whiskey!

Sipping on some RRSBSP - CNB.  Getting ready to roll into the Holidays.  I think I am heading out to a few LS with Christmas candies and cookies on Thursday.  We’ll see if Santa comes early.  

[Skinsfan1311]

50/50 blend of these.

[StarSurfer55]

So I am drinking ECSB at the moment.  It has been one of my long time favorites but I recently watched an episode of Fred Minnicks Youtube channel.  He made teh comment that he thinks of Elijah Craig during the holiday season as it has a strong baking spice note.  

 

Now that it stuck in my head but I really enjoy it and it does fit the Christmas season well.

These 4R BP SPs were in my regular rotation when they were $50-$60. Then they got expensive and scarce, so I started rationing what I have. 

OBSQ is such a unique flavor. It's a beautiful medley tonight.
