DrinkyBanjo Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'm going on the cheap tonight, Heaven Hill 10, Evan Williams 1783, and next will be AAA 10 YO. Three bottles that add up to less than $40. Not too much depth but the nose hasn't disappointed yet. However, each have required a good bit of warmth in the glass to make the nose come out.

FlashPuppy Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I am enjoying my first pour of Eagle Rare 10yr SB tonight. I like it enough to drink it, not sure if I will buy again at the price yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photogjunkie Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I've been debating this evening which bottle to break open when I get off work, which will be shortly. Though I have half a dozen open bottles I'm working on at the present, I can't bring myself to the point of letting them get too low or polishing any of them off...at least not tonight. So a new bottle goes in rotation when I get home. I'm thinking either a BT or ETL, something I can replace and haven't had in awhile.BT it is.

ej178 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 This may be one of the first references to drinking OC 8yo that I know of. Unfortunatley I have not been able to find other OC offerings. I picked it up, like you, just to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rughi Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 This may be one of the first references to drinking OC 8yo that I know of. I am currently using a bottle as my cooking whiskey...Some of us not only drank Old Charter 8yo, but one-upped it with an example of Old Charter 7yo that came from....YOU!Check out this link Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barturtle Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Doh!! What was I thinking trading a bottle of that wonderful elixir? But, I digress, that bonded whiskey is a heck of a leap in quality over the 8yo 80 proof stuff you get today. My OC 8yo was bought specifically as a cooking whiskey, as my bottle of Old Crow had been emptied, and the OC 8 was the cheapest thing on the shelf...unless you count store brands as actually existing.

Pappy's Friend Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Friday the 13th was indeed a lucky day for me. I had a pour of Black Maple Hill 14-year, followed by some EC18, and a little Booker's to top it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothbat Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Some Rock Hill Farms, the other night was a fluke, it’s not bad but still tastes odd as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Trying to force down some Old forester BIB 1979. ok...maybe not force down. Was forced to buy 2 bottles at the time. Bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProofPositive Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Although I am not supposed to be consuming anything right now after being on antibiotics for a week, I consulted the good Dr. Van Winkle a short while ago about the situation. Dr. Pappy suggested some of his homemade 15/107 elixir could only reinforce the pharmaceutical medications. So, I have followed the good doctor's orders. After only a sip or two, I am feeling much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8erdane Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 You know, whether it's a teenage daughter or grown up sister I'd think you could make your point by adding water to whatever they normally drink and ask them if they can tell the difference. Make sure it's sufficient that they can't deny it and then give them that "see, I will know" look.BTW, watching footgall today is cause for a pour of Stagg, and it's time I took up that worthy cause....but which one?????? Oh well, whichever has the most in the bottle I guess..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gothbat Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Despite the reassurance of a few helpful members on this forum I still worry that maybe something went wrong with my home-made wine. So, purely in the interest of my health, I’m drinking some WT101 to kill any organisms that may now be living in my stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitzg Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 ...the Four Roses continues to amaze me. There is so much to this whiskey,...:toast:JOEAgreed. We can all be very glad Jim Rutledge convinced the Japanese that they should sell some of it here. While not my absolute favorite, I am always glad when I have a bottle on my shelf.

Old Bill Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Picked up a bottle of Rebel Yell for 12 bucks here in Minnesota. First time I've seen this brand at the liquor store. Not bad...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourbonJoe Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 "Fricky" and I had a pour of Michter's 101 from 1979, Michter's 86 from 1976, Four Roses Small Batch and a Pappy 23 today after snooping around the old Michter's Distillery in Schaefferstown PA.Joe :usflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 As far as bourbon goes, I love the Vintage 17 YO right now to drink neat. I prefer the Old Weller 12 YO to mix. I have been drinking a lot of Rye. I just finished off a bottle of Rittenhouse BIB and several bottles of the Sazerac Jr. I just bought a bottle of Bernheim wheat tonight and I am sipping on it now. I can't wait for the new BT 2006 Antique Collection to hit later this week or early next week. The new Thomas Handy and Stagg are supposed to be the best of the best.

doubleblank Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Going slightly old school tonight. RHF BIB ......bottled in '96. Its not listed as a BIB any more. Slightly richer than current RHF. I like RHF old and new. A higher proof version of the discontinued Benchmark Single Barrel. The two clearly have a family relationship.Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Going slightly old school tonight. RHF BIB ......bottled in '96 Didn't know there was such an animal. I learn a half dozen new things or so every day here. I went to reach for a pour this evening, I looked at several, it cold and drizzling outside, I just had Stagg the other night, so...Wild Turkey Rye sounded kind of back down to earth. Nothing fancy, just a comfortable pour at comfortable price. Of course then you have to add in sales tax, state tax, city tax, federal tax which screws the whole thing up:hot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
