ILLfarmboy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Drinking Jack and coke here. Actually single brl. it seems almost sacrilege to be mixing it but I was in the mood and its the only JD I have. I can't bring myself to buy the watered down black label.

Nebraska Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Fleischman's Rye (through the very generous offer of a Chicago friend). As I told him, a very pleasant surprise, a smooth tasty pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 i lost alot of respect for jack daniels when they brought the proof down to 80...I don't figure it was any worse than when they dropped it from 90 to 86 some years earlier. But, then, I've never had much taste for Jack Daniel's, as whiskey, anyway. I have a lot of respect for their marketing folks, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashPuppy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Started with a little English Draft Hard Cider earlier tonight, and now just cracked open a WTRB I purchased earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothbat Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Went right back to the PVW15 when I went to get a pour. I was looking forward to trying out BT this weekend but I guess that's going to have to wait until next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Lamplighter Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Lightened up a bit this evening after the long, long night before. Had good healthy pour of ERSB followed up with same of PVWFR 15.......well enough for a rainy Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fogfrog Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Very Old Barton 86 proof. This bourbon is really nice. It is easy to drink, very smooth. This bottle has a price label on it under ten bucks. I think I like this better than the more expensive bourbons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of respect for their marketing folks, though....Lord it is awful tasting rot gut isn't it?..Actually, I didn't mean to imply I thought it 'bad', aka 'undrinkable' -- I just don't prefer the taste. Being so young -- 4 to 6 years for the black label -- it is very congeneric, and I prefer some greater essences of oak.For mixing with, say, cola, it's preferrable to my Stitzel-Weller, for sure (I have better uses for the good stuff:grin:). But, it's way too expensive for the young whiskey that it is, the price held up only by its successful marketing and the demand thus created.

Edward_call_me_Ed Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I actually had some JD black label last night. I had read the ''Bourbon in my bananas" thread and wanted to explore that note. First I poured myself about 10 ml. I wasn't sure that I wanted more than that. But it kind of hit the spot so I had a full shot. After that I had a couple of pours of OGD BIB. Much nicer. I finished the night off with VWFR Rye 13 year old. Holy Mother of God is this Good! (He says reverently.) There are no letters on the label so I think this must really be 13 years old. Does any one know for sure? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Fresh pour of ER17. It was a toss up between the AHH16 or ER17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtoys Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Went through 1.5 bottles of Pappy 20 yr old at last night's party.I gave the residual to a good friend who helped us schlep home a giant sign with my son's name on it, as well as, well, just being a great friend all the time. The other reason was that 2 months ago I picked up a bottle of P20 for him that he, of course, paid me for. I gave it to him after we had dinner out with our families. When he was dropping off his niece and getting her stuff out of the back of the SUV, the bottle rolled out onto the driveway and (:bigeyes: as he watched in horror) broke. He never even got it home.

CrispyCritter Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Last night, I began with a Scotch (Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch #15), and then had a pour of William Larue Weller '06 to follow. That turned out to be an excellent pairing... the different sweetnesses of the two complemented one another nicely.Tonight, I'm beginning with WTRR 101, and then either EWSB '96 or Rittenhouse BIB for the nightcap.
