What are you drinking this moment?

[texascarl]

Tonite, Old Forester 100 proof AND some Woodford Reserve. What's the good of having so many bottles & so many shot glasses, unless a man can get a bourbon smorgasbord thing going now and then on a Friday night?

[hollywood]

T'Carl, Two excellent choices I might add! Myself, I picked up a bottle of WT Rare Breed yesterday, and a bottle of Old Charter. Sipping on the Rare Breed presently, and tasting very yummy...and powerful..they way I like it! I will say though, folks can make all the jokes they want, I'll drink Old Charter anywhere/anytime. It tastes great, and affordable! Cheeers... See ya, H'wood

Pure Kentucky XO! Well aged Heaven Hill whiskey bottled by Evan Kulsveen without the medicinal 'distilled pond scum' smell. Quite good. I reccomend it.

OLD FITZGERALD 100* bonded made in 1971 and may i add that it is very good.

Is it as good ( or Bad ) as you remember?

[Paradox]

Last night I finally opened my bottle of Hancocks Presidents Reserve and I was pleasantly suprised. Tonight I am sipping on one of my personal favorites, Pappy Van Winkle 20 Yr. Now if I just had the guts to open the 23 year old.....

I had 4 Roses with my Dad, and a tug offa the bottle of Old Charter 13 that my Grandma had , YUMMY!

Old Weller Antique 107. I have ben about half-way through this bottle and I am really comming around to it. Tonight I am drinking it neat. I am still getting some of the tannins in the finish, but the flavor seems more fruity with less of the camphor and green-ness that I picked up before.

[texascarl]

Wild Turkey 101. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[CL]

Watham's, from my purchase in SC three months ago. Out of the daily pour. Been hittin' the good stuff. Might not go to the store till it's all gone. ;-)

[bobbyc]

You are indeed drinking the good stuff , My Friend! At one time it was my favorite and I thought the perfect Bourbon was made and I wanted a case of it! I don't have a favorite anymore, What's in my hand at the moment. I did open a bottle of it last thing at my cookout for the SB group. I will however raise a glass of what I've been drinking today and that is the Old Forester Birthday Bourbon. To your good health and Happiness, Clogsdon!

[MurphyDawg]

I will raise a glass of B'Day bourbon to Bobby, CL, and my dog Colby (who turned three tonight!), here's to you all!

Thank you Tom! Birthday Bourbon Yummy! I also am making Bourbon Balls , they are covered on one side with the chocalate, waiting for them to firm up and do the other side. I am going to pass these on to a couple of the fairer StraightBourbon-ites tomorrow. ( BettyeJo & BrendaJ) We are having our second Monthly lunch of straightbourbon-ites in Bardstown, Jeff , if you would be interested in driving from Lexington for it sometime let us know , we may plan to do it at the halfway point or over there .

[CL]

You lucky dog (the Birthday Bourbon). I will just have to commiserate myself with another glass of Wathams. Enjoy!

[CL]

Another B'day Bourbon. And another dawg! Yikes! ;-)

Aaahh, don't cry honey! You know I love you!

AAA 10yo. I contiunue to be amazed at the quality of this very inexpensive bourbon. Nice flavor and smooth finish. I remember growing up as a boy in Frankfort. Several times a week we would drive down wilkinson Blvd to go to my grandmothers house. As we passed the Ancient Age Distillery (what it was called back then) I would gag at the heavy smell of mash in the air. My how times have changed

[CL]

I had the Wathen's again tonight for dinner. Had it with sweet Italian sausage with mozzarella, peppers, and onions. It matched perfectly.

[hollywood]

Hey, What did you expect?! That is one of my favorite dishes! I'll say this..All kidding aside, any bourbon with that meal would be a perfect pairing!! Oh, except for EC12! Bon journo! See ya, H'wood

[jeff]

Old Forester 100 Proof. This is hands down the best bourbon under $15.00. Full bodied and rich with the taste and style of the premium brands. I'm a happy, happy man

[Creggor]

Hello, To everyone. Long time since I have posted. Drinking some of Julian Vanwinkles 15yr old 107 Proof. Suites me just fine. Was wondering if anyone can shed any lite on another Bourbon I had the pleasure to enjoy this past week. Sometime ago I bought a bottle of Pure Kentucky XO Small Batch Bourbon 107 Proof. I had the pleasure to drink this fantastic Bourbon the past week. The bottle says is was bottled by Pure Kentucky Distilling Company in Nelson County KY. I have an idea as to who's Bourbon this might be. Man I really like this Bourbon. Doe anyone know who's Bourbon this is.. Thanks in advance Creggor.

[ratcheer]

I guess I made a mistake. When I was in Atlanta a couple of months ago, I saw Pure Kentucky XO and looked at it pretty closely, but I passed on it because I had never heard of it and it was quite expensive.

I'm glad you're enjoying yours.

I also have a guess, but no real knowledge, so I won't speculate as to where it comes from.

It comes from what used to be Willetts at Bardstown , The distillery is down and they run a bottling line there. It is reported that all of the original Willetts stock is depleted and now the Bourbon is being furnished by HeavenHill. Beej can shed a lot of light on this , she has gone up there and checked it all out.
