bluesbassdad Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I believe DB was telling us which bottling he, himself, was drinking.If I still lived in the big city, I might make good use of your information regarding multiple bottlings. I was aware of only the two I mentioned.Yours truly,Dave Morefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 A wide-ranging assortment... 1792, Noah's Mill, and the best of the lot, Jefferson's Reserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyBoston Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Tonight with a very long Mexican Dinner and a couple afterwards I killed off a 6 pack of Negra Modelo, one of my favorite if rather mundane beers. Then tonight I had a pour of WT Rare Breed. Very tasty stuff.Like I posted a couple of days ago, I had been off bourbon for a while to rest up, but now coming back it is sooooo good. I didn't realize how much I missed it. The time off really rejuvinated my palate and make everything taste better than it has for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothbat Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Some FC103 with some of Buffalo Bill's Cajun Beef Jerky. Damn good combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyBoston Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Started off with ORVW 10/107 then to ORVW 15. I was comparing them. I really need to do a blind test, but I tonight the 15 easily prevailed. It was so much smoother. Although, they were both 107's, the 10 tasted as if the alchohol content was much higher than the 15. Something I can't figure out though, it really tasted like the 15 had a rye a component and I don't think that's possible. :bigeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Well, it has been months since I've gone on a liquor-buying binge, but my red wine rack was looking a little thin and so, as I'm just shy of my second payday of a new school year and have worked a lot of extra second-job hours recently, I released the debit card -- and didn't buy a single bottle of bourbon (though I spotted a couple I'll go back for). I took a gamble on a couple of 'negociant' bottles of a lousy-year Pommard (1986) and got lucky -- quite drinkable (I'm half the bottle in -- will share the rest with liquor-store colleagues tomorrow) with my chicken-breast supper. Also bought a trio of less-expensive, generic, more recent red Burgundies for quality casual swilling, and a Kiona ice wine I may stick in the Bardstown box for next month. After dinner, I've poured a 2000 Osborne Late Bottled Vintage Port, which I found for under $18 with a set of two very nice glasses which will double as bourbo-ware, too. It's nothing spectacular, but a decent value for the money paid. Very nice, typical, plummy LBV flavors, just subtle and understated. Just like me.:grin: :skep: And, finally, my first bottle of Pyrat "Planters Gold" X.O. rum -- aka, Juicy Fruit -- for $33 locally with a couple of quasi-martini-shaped, frosted glasses which I almost certainly will never use. Too easy to drink! I also picked up a Jameson 12yo for a fair price (at least, in these parts), but I think I'll hold off opening that one for another evening. The good/bad news -- I don't think I'm ready for gin yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Finished off a bottle of Noah's Mill. Very tasty, with almost a toffee flavor. Perhaps the best of the offerings from KBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Enjoyed some Old Grand-Dad BIB last night. It had been a while, and in the meantime I have enjoyed the Rittenhouse Ryes, and the high-rye Bulleit bourbon, so I was curious to see how I would react to the OGD. Quite well, I must say, and kudos to Jim Beam for continuing to make this product and make it the right way. The rye is expressed as spice but also as earthiness (i.e., mud), which I find too much in Old Overholt, but just right in OGD. I'm a fan of the bottle too. A very old school experience overall.

TimmyBoston Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Dan', How'd the UFC fight go tonight? I missed the ppv. Tonight it was knob creek on the rocks for me at a bar. Some interesting discussion on String theory though that was a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Finsihed off a bottle of OGD 114 that I hadn't touched for a while...This is very serious whiskey! The spicy rye finish grabs you by the lapels and head butts you! No subtlety here... great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chipper Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Tonight it's gonna be a three-way. I'm starting off with some Weller Antique 107, which has been on sale for $13.95 this month and an excellent, if not my favorite under $20 pour. Then I'm moving on to a little ER SB to be followed by a small pour of OGD 114. To cap it all off, I'm gonna treat myself to some Old Cabin Still Stitzel Weller bottled in 1969. This is the second bottle I've won off of eBay and I must say, I'm smitten. Once it's allowed to breathe a bit, there's a definite sweetness that reminds me of banana bread and honey that ends up with a long, smooth finish with plenty of mouth feel. I love the old Stitzel Weller stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcheer Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I am having a fairly large pour (for me, about 2 oz) of J. W. Dant BIB on the rocks. It is very tasty and it could easily fill the bill of an everyday pour.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T47 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I nice pour of ETL. I have a buddy at work who want's to try some Bourbon and I think this is the bottle I will recommend for him. Great flavor, great price, and a nice looking bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Old Charter 12-year-old. Very enjoyable. Loads of caramel and vanilla. Interesting what corn whiskey does in a new barrel without much rye (or wheat) getting in the way. It's all wood (and corn sweetness) but, at least at the 12-year-level, that's all good. Very tasty, very rich, but not particularly complex. A good (though not great) value. Cool bottle too. Like OGD BIB it's very "old school," the whole experience, but in its own way.

TNbourbon Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Received these three pieces today. Surprisingly, only one (the queen, middle) had a broken cork: The flawed cork, however, was enough excuse to open that one.:grin: I know some have described finding less-than-stellar bourbon in these, but all three -- including this one -- that I've opened so far taste like liquid chocolate fudge:cool: King me!

Nebraska Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I've found myself going back to Weller antique, Weller 12yo, and OGD BiB. I took my very first nip of OGD 114 and found it very suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
