What bourbon are you drinking now?

[DrinkyBanjo]

Wow, I love all of those pours but I'm not so sure I could switch gears between GTS and Laphroaig CS.

[jburlowski]

After a few days in "bourbon hell" (rural northern Iowa), I'm recovering with a generous pour of ETL.

Life is good again!

[SBOmarc]

Booker's, with a few drops of water.

[bluesbassdad]

June's BOTM, PVW 15 y/o, followed by ORVW 15/107.

Yours truly,

I had an out town guest from Montreal; took him to the ZigZag club in Seattle. Started with Elmer T. Lee, then tried Buffalo Trace, followed with EC 18 YO. I might have a new convert from Scotch to bourbon....

[Ambernecter]

After seeing Redvette's "Oh Happy Day" haul this morning, I knew I would knock back a couple of early ones tonight, to toast the new arrivals...

A quick ER 10YO 90 proof followed by a RHF. The RHF is still magic in a bottle!

[Whiskey River]

After a long hard day, a pour of WT 101. Sure hit the spot tonight!!

[elkdoggydog]

EC12, following a Rum and Coke, made with Cruzan Black Strap Rum. That stuff mixes better with rum than any spirit I've tried. The EC12 is a nice accompaniment to Roger Clemens' return tonight.

[scopenut]

WTRR 101

First time I've been able to try it, it's very nice, similar but more complex than WTKS.

To hard for me to find to be a common pour.

[DrinkyBanjo]

Right now RHF, next WTKS Pewter, then sleep.

[DrinkyBanjo]

Okay, this RHF has an excellent nose. Kind of candy to me, would that be the high rye content?

Hmmm, sounds like it might be my first tasting note.

[Sijan]

I taste a lot of rye when I drink RHF, but it's evidently from their low-rye mashbill. This puzzles me...

[DrinkyBanjo]

Actually I thought RHF was from their high rye mash bill.

[ratcheer]

Actually I thought RHF was from their high rye mash bill.

I am sure that is correct. There was a thread about it with definitive answers from Ken Weber at BT, some time ago. The higher-rye mashbill is shared by Ancient Age, Elmer T. Lee, Blanton's, Rock Hill Farms, and possibly others. The lower rye is shared by Eagle Rare, George T. Stagg, Buffalo Trace, and several others.

Here is a similar thread, but the one I thought I remembered seemed more detailed: http://www.straightbourbon.com/ubbthreads-6.5/showthread.php?t=4245&highlight=mash+bill

Mash Bill # 1 (low rye) - Old Charter, Eagle Rare, George T. Stagg, Buffalo Trace

Mash Bill # 2 (high rye) - Ancient Age, Elmer T. Lee, Rock Hill Farms, Hancock’s Reserve, Blanton’s

[FlashPuppy]

just finished a Beam black and coke.

just started on some EC12. scrum-diddly-umptious.

[gothbat]

Drinking a pour of Rock Hill Farms. This is definitely my least favorite bourbon.

[TimmyBoston]

At a bar I had Johnnie Walker Gold, they had a very poor bourbon selection, Jim Beam White was the best they had and now back at home, I'm having some Pappy 15 with just a touch of water, wonderful.

[CrispyCritter]

First, a WT101/Peychaud's/Regan's Manhattan.

Second, a Rob Roy (i.e. Manhattan with Scotch, Cluny/Angostura).

Third, a Rittenhouse BIB/Peychaud's/Regan's Manhattan.

All of the above put an end to my Martini & Rossi red vermouth. My next Manhattans (or Rob Roys) will use Tribuno red - it'll be interesting to see how that changes things.

:drinking:

But wait! This was followed up with a neat pour of WT 101, then Eagle Rare 101. :falling:

[DrinkyBanjo]

After work at the cigar bar I had a Knob Creek followed by a Bookers. Last night when all went to bed I had AAA 10, ETL, and then RHF.

Nice night.

Mash Bill # 2 (high rye) - Ancient Age, Elmer T. Lee, Rock Hill Farms, Hancock’s Reserve, Blanton’s

I like to think of BT Mash Bill #1 as the lower rye recipe and the #2 as the higher rye recipe, because both are high corn mashbills that use less rye than many other distillery mashbills.

Too weird! That is one of my absolute top favorites.

Good God!

I had that very though, too, Cliff, when I posted that. But I'm trying to be reticent.
