Iluvanejos Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Congrats RedVette on the promotion!!Tonight, I decided to break open my first ever pour of Pappy 12 Lot B.... Very good!! I am smoking an Opus Perfection X, but decided to wait until the first pour was gone before lighting up, in order to avoid overpowering such a fine bourbon. I seem to get a bunch of cherry flavor with this pour. I started with it neat, had a few sips, then added one ice cube. It seems to really have changed the flavor to almost a leather or woodsy profile. Still very tasty, and very smooth!!I think next I am going to pour an OGD114 to pair with tonight's stick.

HipFlask Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well I am on a rye kick as of late. Started it out when a friend turned myon to Templeton Rye. Then because of what I read here Rittenhouse Rye BIB. And then when I was on vacation I picked up a bottle WT rye. Saz Jr will be next buy. Tonight before dinner I had a WT rye and then a pour of Maker's Mark. The Maker's sure had a wonderful smell but it seemed kinda bland to the taste. Maybe I got used to the sweetness of the ryes? Who knows but I sure am enjoying the journey. Sorry to hear about your car TNbourbon. Congrats on your promotion RedVette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburlowski Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Got in last night on a late flight after a week on the road in a hotel whose bar only had JBW... "decompressed" on the deck with a couple of healthy pours of ER17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"decompressed" on the deck with a couple of healthy pours of ER17.John,I'm a little bit worried here. Did you actually drink the JBW?? I think you should consider one of those Hazmat showers they give you when you come into contact with nasties.:slappin:Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camduncan Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Last night it was several cans of Jim Beam White Label with Cola.:bigeyes: They were offered to me by a well-meaning friend and I didn't want to be rude :skep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvanejos Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Had a few Lot Bs neat with my brother, and now am enjoying a Fuente King B with a Pappy 15... This stuff is addicting!! I went to the wetbar, and through the ten-twelve open bottles, all I seem t reach for the past couple days is this Pappy 15....Is there any others that have this thick, full flavored profile I should look for? Or is Pappy pretty much in a league of its own? It is fantastic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyCritter Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 After my earlier cocktails (see the Non-Whiskey forum), I'm now trying my first pour of Dickel Barrel Select. I like, I like. I'm getting a toffee-like flavor out of this, and a hint of smoke, too. This is one to go on my top shelf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothbat Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I was in the rare mood for a mixer so 3 cubes in a lowball glass, some lemon juice, a bit of jack, and some wild cherry pepsi. Quite refreshing, too bad I don't have any maraschino's on hand. Time to toss the sockeye on the grill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 John,I'm a little bit worried here. Did you actually drink the JBW?? I think you should consider one of those Hazmat showers they give you when you come into contact with nasties.:slappin:ScottNo... I went with JD as the only acceptable alternative.

CrispyCritter Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Did you actually drink the JBW?? I think you should consider one of those Hazmat showers they give you when you come into contact with nasties. I'd rather drink my Stagg than be showered with it. Tonight, I got a bit experimental - first, making some Negronis with Hendrick's Gin instead of Plymouth. I'm finding Hendrick's works better at 2:1:1 instead of 1:1:1; the subtle flavors in Hendrick's are lost in the traditional mix ratio. Then, I got even more experimental, and made what is essentially a Whiskey Negroni with Rittenhouse BIB. I suppose this falls into the Manhattan Special category, but with Negroni-style 1:1:1 proportions. Scrumptious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasH Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Tonight its OCPR 13 followed by some Early Times mint julep that is almost empty. I may be donating to the empty botlle support group toight!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wskybnt Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 OC 12 yr, I think that I can get one more pour from the bottle. It's getting hard to find the old black label "Classic" around here. I know its the same but I just like the old label... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrt Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 A very very cold beer It's rather hot here. Last night I drank just 1,5 oz. bourbon (Ten High), though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Would you believe barrel-proof four-grain? :bigeyes: What began as a three-glass toast to Barrel_Proof's birthday -- Wm. Larue Weller (wheated), GTStagg (rye bourbon) and Handy Sazerac (straight rye); I always pour too much of the barrel-proofs -- has transmogrified into a vatting of the three to wind up with a roughly 134-proof four-grainer. It's really not bad -- which makes it, again, regrettable that Woodford Reserve's attempt in that direction didn't come out better. I hope someone will(is) try(trying) again, using perhaps an older still and longer aging. But, now I have too much 3X -- so, I'm going to add some mixin's...Yep, makes a pretty good Jacked Up and Coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T47 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Rittenhouse 80. I prefer the 100, but for some reason the store I frequent has had the 80 and not the 100? I will have to check into why that is? But I must admit I am surprised by the 80, it has nice flavor and a finish that last's a good while. For $13.55 might be my favorite lower priced pour.:toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Finally, after being dry for the last 8 days, I had a small pour of Old Fitz BIB (early 80's). I need to stop being so busy....it's interfering with my drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I am drinking Old Grand-Dad 114, but not for long, it looks like only two more shots left.But I ain't complaining I got other choices.Speaking of not complaining, it is 72 degrees with a breeze from the north, I just lit the grill and awaiting my bride to come home to throw on a couple of strips.The Tigers have the best record in the Majors and I am on vacation the next two weeks!!Looks like a future multi-visit to the Empty Bottle Support Group Thread is in my future. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNbourbon Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Well, now it just happens I have an old ND (tax-stripped, c. 1981) OGD114 open here, too -- good choice, Oscar!:toast:And now, to bed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBoner Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 No OGD 114 open, sadly.But this EWSB 1994 is pretty nice, too. Knob Creek and then Baker's up next. There seems some logic to a HH product made by a Beam followed by a couple of Beam products...and the increasing proofs should be nice, too.:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
