I had to pull out some JB(DC) to honor that picture!  Twin sons of different mothers.

Dinner with a friend and the wives. Had a very nice wine with smoked salmon & smoked tomahawk steak. So went light on the hard alcohol.

 

All three were very good. The Ft Nelson and the HH17 were very, very good. That Michters tasted like "old man's bourbon" to me - and that's a compliment. I wonder which modern bourbon's come closest to the Good Old Ones.

Full Disclosure: I am not sure who these two wise asses are but they embody the spirit that today's youth lack.  😀

I'm not so sure about that.  The young men on this boat seem to be keeping the spirit going.  I think. 🤪

Was going to wait for a special occasion & decided that 'I am still alive' was good enough!!!

JMCB #257

-----

Nose was quick blast of fruitiness - so prominent that ethanol even took a backseat - butterscotch a big deal, also

Palate - Fruit cocktail, butterscotch & hazelnut

Finish quite long but subtle throughout

Had a bit of burn, but in a dissipating sort of way

 

A nice pull out for special occasions & will share with SIL visiting in a couple of weeks...

Very nice! You climbed a nice ladder. Hopefully,  you were able to keep your balance afterwards.  😮😜

 

Seriously, each has its own unique qualities making each very enjoyable.

A couple of pours of MM 101 this evening. 😊

 

My favorite iteration of MM. Perfect balance and proof.

This must be done!

Did not do IT.  Had an Irish riff on a Manhattan to go with bbq grilled shrimp and corn sprinkled with Old Bay powder (the stuff one puts on Maryland crabs).  Maybe tomorrow . . .  Bottle is now at least opened and sniffed.

 

tonight post-dessert, a JD BIB is open.  Going to have to pace myself on this one.

Several times each year, Pepperidge Farms sells Old Bay cheddar goldfish.  We always load up. I have no idea if they sell the OB goldfish outside of the mid-Atlantic.

 I'm a great believer in letting a bottle air out before passing final judgement.    This Asbury Park Small Batch Strait Bourbon ,  which initially struck me as redolent of mucilage,  has opened up and proved to be quite drinkable.    Of course,  just about anything's drinkable out here on the deck at 12:30 in the morning,  with the sea churning its song in the background.

 

Gotta admit I dig not working anymore.

The glass with bourbon in it is Cooper's Craft 100...

Still haven't tried that,  which makes no sense given my love for OF.

So I'm now confused and curious... is short, sweet and to the point not what this thread is intended to be?  I peruse the thread to see what folks are putting in the glass for sipping.   I enjoy the pictures, give some thumbs up and move on.  Sometimes the posts inspire a particular pour, sometimes I just live vicariously through the indulgences of others.  It's not "edge of your seat" excitement, but I like it.   

 

As for tonight's pour, I'm comparing WTRB to WTKS from Camp Nelson - E.  These CN-E bottles have been prevalent in my area, so I grabbed one for research purposes 🤓.  I like both, but the WTRB is my strong preference when drinking these on separate days.  We'll see if a direct back-to-back comparison yields a different outcome.  I expect the WTRB will still win by a comfortable margin.  I love Rare Breed! 🥳

I love finding WTKS bottles.      They are rarely available in New Jersey,  and never in Pennsy.    As single barrels at 101 proof,  they represent the jazz version of WT.
