ILLfarmboy Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Drinking a little WT rye here in northwestern IL. One of these days I will use this to make a Manhattan. The only rye Manhattan I've had; I used Saz 18, I'll never do that again. A terrible waste of that precious elixir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Well, I started this afternoon with some Wathens while smoking my pipe. Now, it's Lot B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashPuppy Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 My brother happened to be in town tonight. He is a scotch drinker, so I brought out the heavy hitters to show him what bourbon is about. Started with a round of WLW '06, followed by an ORVW 15/107. We then had a brief intermission for dinner, rounded out with a little pour of VanBlankle. Good night indeed....

barturtle Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Took myself to the bar across the street to watch the game this evening, after having a beer dinner-Guinness-pertiser, Fullers ESB salad and Hoegarden main course, I setted in with some VWFRR for the remainder of the game. Now it's a visit down memory lane with some VOB 100 (my early bourbon regular)...man it's good to be home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmeats Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I'm drinking Ancient Ancient Age tonight. Figured I'd tap into this since another bottle is on the way from Binny's as we speak. Might move onto some rye in a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward_call_me_Ed Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I started the evening with a couple of pours of ORVW 10 yo 90 proof. Later I had a beer. When I got home a had some Fighting Cock 6 yo. This is my first bottle of the 6 year old. I have drunk a fair bit of the FC 15 yo that we get here in Japan and really like it. I was surprised by how much I like the 6 year old. I will have a pour of the FC 15 later to compare the two.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripvanfan Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Grabbed a generous pour of Hancock Single Barrel. When I'm in the mood for something really mellow with good bourbon taste, I head for this particular BT offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyCritter Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 I began with the last pour from a bottle of Tangle Ridge (Canadian), and now I'm trying out my first pour of EWSB '96 - barrel #575.I'm finding that it strongly resembles the Kentucky Vintage that I recently polished off - the menthol signature is quite evident in the finish, and it took a few sips to coax out the vanilla side. The more I sip, though, the more I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Cracked open a bottle of 2001 ER 17. WOW! Delicate sweetness, definite nutty tones, very smooth and well-balanced. And all without the heavy woodiness found in some other ER 17 bottlings.I think I may be in love.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frodo Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Went to a bar and had...- x2 Blantons from two different bottles. Interesting! Very different!\- Old Gand-dad 114: First time ever trying this. The Beam influance is unmistakable! Tastes like Booker junior to me!- Sazerac Cocktail made with Cdn. Club whisky. Not bad, but I see how much better this would be made with straight rye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty Glass Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Lets see..the Cowboys lost by a point, my Jets got wrecked, the Giants got cut down along with the shedding Christmas tree. Only a couple pours of PVW20 and a late evening with sb.com can help. Thanks Pappy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon2 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 My standard pour: Woodford Reserve, batch 168. WR replaces my previous standard tipple, Old Setter. WR is certainly more interesting: it always seems to taste a little different than it did before, though the taste is certainly never unpleasant. I tried a bit of 1792 RR afterwards and nearly spat it out because the 1792 is so smooth, it tastes sour in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyCritter Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well, in addition to the Tangle Ridge and the EWSB '96, I wound up cracking open a WTRR 101, and polishing off my Compass Box Orangerie (alas, Orangerie only comes in 375 ml bottles).

FlashPuppy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Took the day off of work, had some things to do around the house. I decided to day would be a good day to add an EWSB'93 to the empty bottle thread. Unfortunately, I am getting a heavy alcohol burn in the nose for some reason. This is an expression which I really enjoy, and am not sure why this is happening. Maybe this bottle will wait for another day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 BulleitI saw a 50ml bottle and bought it.I went through a 750ml bottle about 2 years ago and forgot how much I liked it. There is a "fragrance" in the nose that I can't place. I should have got another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
