What are you drinking tonight? (Spring '07)

[Bob O.]

EC 12 followed by some GTS.

I just opened my Prichard's Doubled Barreled Bourbon.

From what I have read about this bourbon I was expecting something very bland.

I am drinking it neat and it goes down very smooth, (yes, I did use the meaningless "S" word).

But it is not complex at all, nice vanilla is about it, and a short finish that leaves a nice little burn.

They say this was distilled in KY.

Then Prichard poured it out of the barrels cut it with water and then re-barreled it.

That took place at their rum distillery in Kelso TN.

It is 90 proof and 9 years old.

I am going to try it on the rocks, actually with a lot of crushed ice, I have a feeling it will make a nice Bourbon Mist.

I spent the weekend at a group gathering with some cigar friends in Omaha and had WTRB, Knob Creek, did my part in helping to finish an entire bottle Stagg, and finished the weekend off with some Bookers at the Airport bar.

I started out with a pour of Bernheim Straight Wheat, and now I'm enjoying some VWFRR. I'm not sure what my next pour will be...

[ILLfarmboy]

I had planed on having some ORVW 107 but I'm drinking half and half instead. Not half bourbon half scotch but half cream and half milk. I was welding and cutting a lot of galvanized angle and plate today. I have a bit of "galvanized poisoning". Any welders out there would know what I am talking about. sucks!

Vat 'em together -- not bad!:shocked:

Enjoyed the final pour from a bottle of Lot B this evening and as always, it was fantastic!

I am enjoying a first pour of Bernheim Original. When I picked it up at the liquor store the clerk said, "I can only say that I do not enjoy most American Whiskey's, this one is the exception. It does not burn like Bourbon".

I pick up very slight notes of candied fruit in the nose. The Palate is smooth. Its flavor is pleasant, but not as deep or complex as Bourbon. I don't think this strikes me as smoother than Makers or one of the Weller’s. It still has a little heat. It has a slightly spicy finish like cinnamon honey has just crossed my tongue. If I see the same cleak again I will have to suggest some different Bourbons to him.

It will be an interesting bottle to share with friends, to have along side wheated bourbon and then a rye packed one. Not bad.

A second pour proved problematic as I got a little to close when nosing...

:toast:

For some reason I got a hankerin' for a gin and tonic today. I stopped at the store on the way home for a six pack of schweppes tonic water and a couple of limes. Happily, I have a nice big 1.75 of bombay sapphire in the cabinet.

Quite good.

Old Fitz BIB....yummy SW

[CrispyCritter]

Right now, Fleischmann's Rye. OGD BIB is on-deck...

[TNbourbon]

I noted during a Canadian tasting last night that the Forty Creek Three Grain -- also a copper-pot-stilled whisky -- had similarities to the awful Woodford Reserve Four Grain, though in more palatable form, so I began tonight by vatting them 1:1, just as a curiosity. While the blend was better than the latter alone, it was still very copper-centric. So, I poured some ginger ale over it and splashed a bit of PAMA liqueur and agave syrup (not tequila, but a non-alcoholic syrup from Mexico) into it. Wow, this is good. The vegetal and fruity flavors of the PAMA and agave make the copper disappear. I still get a good bit of the wheat, a la Bernheim Original, and also some rye spice, but now all in better balance.

I'll call it the North American!

Old Fitz BIB....yummy SW

Old Fitz BIB, but, alas, the HH version, not the SW. Not bad, but I have a feeling that the SW stuff was better.

[CrispyCritter]

A pour of '06 Stagg served as a nightcap... mmmmmmmm.

[nickynick]

Last night was a HH night. Started with EC 12, then a Henry McKenna 10 Yo BIB, Last was some EWSB 95.

[Bob O.]

A healthy pour of WTRB.

[ggilbertva]

VA Gentlemen 90 "Fox". Has a very light nose and an immediate alcohol burn on the front palate with a medium finish. Not totally unpleasant but not one that I would reach for when other selections are available.

[tango-papa]

For the first time in quite awhile, Elijah Craig 18. This bottle has been open for about 6 months and the pour tonight was much more enjoyable than I remembered having several months back.

Decided to revisit Laphroaig 10 last night. Poured half a shot and couldn't even finish that. Used to be one of my favorites.

Next a tiny pour of Nikka "Yoichi" 10 yr from a 180ml bottle my friend brought me from Japan. Good balance but still wasn't what I was wanting that night.

Saz 18 finished things off nicely. Something about premium rye and bourbons just does it for me.

[OscarV]

Revisiting my Prichard's Doubled Barreled,

I'm having it on the rocks, as stated earlier it is not very exciting and the ice/water has brought out the wood.

[ILLfarmboy]

A small pour of ORVW 107. Very tasty.

[snakster]

In the middle of my first pour of WTRB. I must say, it is very nice. I am enjoying this very much. I am not so nimble as to pick out individual characteristics, but I know this...they're the ones I like.

[Hyperspace]

A friend gave me my first taste/s of PVW20 earlier. It was great, but I still like WTRB better! I need more Pappy to give it a fair assessment however.
