Prime Dry-aged Sirloin Strip cooked Pittsburgh rare on the Napoleon infrared burner with a wee dram of Booker's 2024 "The Reserves" (shared by @Anwalt in Bardstown).  A great "Derby Day" dinner!  🥳

Typical European style, Caesar Salad followed closely behind (HONEST!!!)  🤣

Interesting close-up photos.  Great color on both of those!  👍

Thank you. Wish I had a better set up and knowledge to use it properly. Lol

Just my phone.

 

My vision is well intended.

Actually, the 8-year version of the 101 is the original. They dropped the age statement domestically around 1992, but have continued to export it. This release marks its return to our shores. I have also heard that the 70th Anniversary is a step up from this 8/101, but I have yet to crack mine to form my own opinion.

 

 

Good to know sir.  I was drinking Ten High and coke back then. Not good for anyone. Kept me from brown water for a long time.

My wife and granddaughter went out shopping today after my granddaughters soccer game this morning. They went to a number of places looking for prom items and other things. At one vendor/antique mall, they even found something for me. I named him BT. Baby Thunder. Some of y’all will know. 😉 So, I’m having a pour or two of BT this evening. Cheers!  🦬  🙂

This evening it's a generous pour of OF 1920. I'm a huge fan of the OF flavor profile. I think the only bottle I'm not a fan of is the 1897. I'm not sure why.

Called in a couple birds. They were fighting for my attention so I took a shot at both of them.

For the nose, i give the 70th the win by a beak.

 

The palate, The 70th wins with a better beard and wattle.

 

The finish, you prolly guessed it, The 70th wins by the snood and tail coverts.

 

Obviously the winner is the 70th and I give it 18 tail feathers.

 

Seeing how the 70th is basically gone, I will grab a btl or 2 of the 8yr when i find it. Would like to do a sbs with WTKS and the 70th, maybe next time I'm at the bar.

 

Then I would like to do a sbs with The Original Kicking Chicken (WT 101) and the 8yr. Note to self, I prolly should do that before I buy the 8yr. 🤔 

I did a blind of these and I think I prefer the 8 year. The 70th is more textbook, but the 8 has a cinnamon finish and seems more playful. Cheers!

Nice sbs.

Looking forward to trying the new 8 someday.

A blind sbs is the way to go! ( hindsight, i should have done that at the bar)

 

Great to hear your input.
