polyamnesia Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 went shopping for xmas ideas at the local PLCB store...and there it was, WILD TURKEY RYE for $15.99 !just bought Old Overhold last night. and was impressed.but the WT rye is just phenomenal. and simply another classic WT pour. wow.it really isn't too much different from regular WT 101.rye certainly is bourbon's first cousin. maybe siblings...

NYtaster Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Spent most of the day fighting the crowds for last minute items. I needed a break from the Christmas rush so I'm enjoying the first pour of my latest bottle of WTRB neat, Santa came early!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyCritter Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 My Four Roses Single Barrel gave up one last generous pour, and then I had some ER101. Now it's rye time, with Rittenhouse BIB in the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingleBarrel Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Easy, the label says Frankfort or Louisville on it. OK, my eyes just weren't good enough to see it! :cool: Amazingly, after putting on reading glasses and holding to a strong light, I could read that it is a Louisville bottling. Thanks!

SingleBarrel Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Drinking a healthy pour of 2007 George T. Stagg, with a bit of water. Tomorrow we have a lot of family here, so I figure many sips of many different bourbons! Happy Holidays to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 RR Rye and RR 90 Bourbon. There is a great deal of similarity between these two. The rye is a little spicier, and the bourbon is a little smoother and sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNbourbon Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I'm also sipping '07 Stagg with a splash of water. :yum:Good for you! The more splashes, the more serious you are about actually tasting the whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyamnesia Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 i just had a splash of stagg...with a micro-splash of water. you're right, you have to cut it to make it flower. otherwise, it's a shotgun to the head. not a bad thing always, but then effect isn't quite noting the flavor profile...

NickAtMartinis Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I'm back to report in. Okay, I drank some Handy and then decided to throw back some WTRB followed by ORVW 10. The VW got me to thinking it would be a good idea to do a side-by-side with ORVW 10/107 and PVW 15/107. Drinking from two demi-tasse cups, I poured a smidgen of each into their respective glasses. The 10/107 was previously marked with a Sharpie underneath its handle. From there, I closed my eyes (what can I say, my wife and children were sleeping ) and jossled them about until I knew not which was which. Then, I tasted both. I did this twice. Both times, to my chagrin, the PVW 15 won out. I really felt that the 10/107 would be hands-down winner, hence, my retaking the "Taste Test." But, I was wrong. Unfortunately too, since now I will have to focus my savings on the more expensive. Still though, the 10/107 is mighty fine bourbon, just not so to the PVW 15. I think I will have to revisit my side-by-side of ORVW 10/107 and Weller Antique. This one was a bit squewed since I already knew what was what.

Gillman Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Holas. I'm concentrating on local drinks in Barcelona, where we have a few days.A pint of emerald green-colored Spanish absinthe made in the city (70% ABV, not the highest in the range which was a black-hued 85%!) is very interesting: lightly anise, minty, refreshing with cold water and ice.I can't find any bourbon at all apart from Beam White, Four Roses and Blanton, once. Maybe tomorrow.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Merry Christmas everyone. It's been a while since I've been on....been very busy. In any case, in celebration of some business successes and the Christmas season, I opened a bottle of Old Fitzgerald BIB. Distilled 1965, bottled 1971. Oh my....it is delicious.

ACDetroit Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Very nice Greg! I started with a 2 oz. pour of WT Tradition 101 tonight and later had a small pour of the WLW Centennial. Now just a 1 oz. pour of a Pappy 15 I bought back in 04'. That's it for this evening.Cheers and Merry Christmas!Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna56 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 EC12 tonite. Saw a Weller in the shop today but didn't get it, got a little too much expensive scotch in the house to justify throwing another sawbuck down for a bottle. (Tony, your recommendation along with that of a buddy pushed me over the edge and I got an Oban 14 yesterday. Mighty nice! thanks for the tip.)Cheers, Merry Christmas to all.
