barturtle Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Cool.This evening I'm having a Heiner Brau Kolsch. A nice refreshing brew, lemony. Made in Louisiana, this is one of the new wave of canned microbrews. It tastes very fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesW Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Glad to be here. Tonight I started with Centennial 13 yr and then had VS old Fitz 12 yo. This 12 yo is so darn good I just added a second pour. Anyone else enjoy this bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WineGuy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Started with WT101 to go with chicken marinaded in WT101. Then opened a bottle of Maker's Mark. What a difference! Maker's Mark was much smoother and sweeter. WT101 was more peppery with firey ambers of cinnamon the longer it stayed in my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTower Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Tonight I had some Iron Horse and cola premix.Iron Horse is a Heaven Hill Bourbon that is bottled exclusively for the company I work for in Australia. The bourbon itself isn't bad, but I am really sick of premixed drinks!Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraightBoston Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Last night was current-vintage OGD BIB with a couple cubes, followed by 80s ND OGD 86 with one cube. Similar recipe, but a more complex, caramel-like, taste to the ND version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipped Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Couple nights ago I made a great Manhattan:3 parts JB White (I know, not the best)1 part sweet vermouth2 drops Angastura bitters (sp?)1 Maraschino CherryShaken with ice for about 20 seconds to get it nice and cold. It was one of the best I've made. I used to do 2/1 Bourbon/Vermouth, but with the JB, I think the 3/1 works better (and makes a bigger drink!)Interestingly, I tried using the Basil Hayden recently, and even at 4/1 ratio, it tasted too strong of vermouth.

shyster512 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Working on a bottle of Wild Turkey American Spirit. While it may be overpriced, I have enjoyed the dickens out of it and by the time I'm finished with it, I may figure it to be reasonably priced.

birdman1099 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I am enjoying a few pours of 4 roses 40th.I am quite impressed with this everytime I have it.The citrus/spearmint taste is decadant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTower Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Working on a bottle of Wild Turkey American Spirit. While it may be overpriced, I have enjoyed the dickens out of it and by the time I'm finished with it, I may figure it to be reasonably priced.Mike,I'm with you there, buddy. I love the American Spirit and I just purchased the last 8 bottles Pernod Ricard had left in Australia. Should last me a long time!We got 6000 of them in Australia, and it only arrived in December so it has been snapped up pretty quick.Tonight I had some Elijah Craig 12yo and now I am sipping on some WLW 06 and eating some fudge. They seem to go well together.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleT Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 While it may seem fairly late, I've stayed up late so I can sleep all day tomorrow (occupational hazard of working nights) so I'm having a night cap now; Buffalo Trace on the rocks.

Stu Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I just returned from a funeral in Indiana. While there, my cousin, who hasn't drank in 25 years due to diabetes, told me to help myself at his bar (which is still stocked pretty well). I found a half gallon, half full, of Early Times bourbon. I thought it was quite good. I know that Early Times is no longer a bourbon. Can some of you who have been around bourbon longer than me shed some light on this for me. I was going to try to talk him out of it and buy him a modern replacement so that I could take it to the gazebo for the Sampler, unfortunately he had to go to the hospital and I really didn't want to approach him about it there. I'll be back in Indiana in August, and I'll try to get the bottle for the KBF gazebo in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe one of the Gilbert's said they new where some of this old Early Times was in VA?? I will bring the open bottle I have with me. I think it's good stuff.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
