What are you drinking tonight, Summer '08

[Chupacabras]

Tonight I drank the last of my Black Maple Hill 14 Year. Weep. If you've got a line on any bottles let me know.

There's a shop by me that has every flavor of BMH that was made (if not all of them, then pretty close... think there were seven different bottles on the shelf). Of course, that's only a 3000 mile trip for you.

Santiam Liquors in Albany OR has 7-12 bottles each of the 11, 14 and 16yo. Prices are $61, $75 and $95 respectively (more than I'm willing to pay).

From where you are it's 2,000 miles closer than New Jersey.

Greg & Mark, I know you guys together with Reid will have some great stories to tell...I look forward to it as well!

I lost a very fine friend to the horrors of cancer. He faught for nearly 3 years. He was an example of how to live a life of faith knowing the odds and enduring the pain. He lived through numerous surgeries, radiation and chemo.

He enjoyed his Family, Skiing, Golf and his Guitar. Sam Adams was his fav.

In his honor I am drinking Sam Adams, amidst both tears and laughter.

SBO- sorry to hear about your friend.

Tonight, it is my first pour of OGD-BIB. I really like it. The nose is leathery- like a worn, old Bible. (That just happens to be one of my favorite smells in the world.) I also get hints of wood and citrus oil- like church pews just after spring cleaning. (I'm sensing a theme here.)

The flavor is smooth, but I can't put my fingure on the lead taste. Toasted coconut, maybe? There is also a serious spiciness which coats the roof of my mouth.

The finish is fruity with just a slight linguring burn of alcohol.

This is great stuff- especially for the price. I wish I had bought more than a 200ml flask. When I drink through my secret stash, I'll have to remedy that.

I am very sorry for your loss.

I'll raise a toast to you and your good friend.

Buddies! Nothing beats 'em.

Sorry for your loss my friend.

Tonight I started with PVW15 and now having some ORVW 10/107. 2 terrific pours!

SBOmarc, I am saddened to hear of the loss of your friend to cancer. My Dad fought cancer for about 2 years before he passed away almost 5 years ago. People who fight that disease IMO are as brave as they come. And people like you who help them through the fight are as good a friend as it gets.

I don't have Sam Adams, but I will toast your friend with EC 18, and know that my prayers are with your friend's family and you.

Here's the other. I never know if people like to see stuff like this but I'm assuming as bourbon fans you do.

Cheers!

Jane, just to confirm, YES we always love to see and hear about stuff like that (there)! Wow, can't write that line without thinking of this truly amazingly incredible performance

I love old school big band songs performed well and Kelly did it in that one.

For me tonight, congratulations to KG, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce I had a little Pure Kentucky and going to follow that with some Four Roses 40th; way to go Celtics! :toast:

Congrats on the 1K club post... look forward to the next 1K.... and all those dusties you will uncover

I started with a WLWeller 12yo neat, it was just OK.

I wanted to experiment so I poured some Four Roses Single Barrel over some cracked ice. It to was just OK.

So I tried the old stand-by, when all else fails go for the Turkey.

With fresh glass and ice I poured Wild Turkey 101 over it.

Yeah,...now that's what I'm talking about.:grin:

[spun_cookie]

Did some tasting.. wonderful yellowstone 90, ERza SB, Old Fitz ~81... now just tappin' that glass on teh Rock Hill Farms

OGD 114 - current iteration. I like the older, pre-Beam version better, but this is good stuff (I don't care what spun_cookie says).

hey now... most people don't... but you do not have to publicize it

[ACDetroit]

Hey Mark, I agree with you 100%...On the OGD 114 that is! We did a side by side at OscarV one night and we could pick the ND Juice over the Beam all day. I agree with what the Dr. said OGD is one of the best things Beam puts out right now and they really do a great job with the 114.

Now as to giving a care on what Spun_Cookie has to say you opened that can of worms so bonne petite :grin:.
