How is it?

 

[pmclaine]

How is it?

Very sweet.

Almost reminds me of one of those premixed Manhattans.

I liked the other on better.

Tasted more like a drink straight from the bottle.

Nothing.........but I'm getting out of this chair.............

Fresh crack and the nose is killer. Very viscous and drinks like 100/105, not 120

 

[Labanaktis]

Fresh crack. 2nd bottle Ives opened from this batch. Looking forward to trying it again

Presently having Modelo Negro with dinner, steaks on the grill, baked potato, and sautéed bell peppers and onions with some diced jalapeño in the mix. Gonna have some Woodford Reserve for dessert

Leave out the jalapeños and change the bourbon to rye for me, please.

 

[Labanaktis]

Well, Shit… another fresh crack tonight…

 

[375fan]

I'm out of Woodford rye at the moment. It is probably my favorite to drink. Once this bottle of Reserve is gone I'll start in on the 2 bottles of Woodford Double Oaked that were Christmas presents from clients, it's really good stuff.
The jalapeños aren't going away unless I sub in some Hatch chili's in their place.

 

[Labanaktis]

I’ve been on a Hatch Chili kick lately…. I need to order some HOT. I have mild right now from the Green Harch Chili store

You guys are killing me! It suxs having to tame down food for SWMBO and the minion when I WANT good flavor and heat! Hence the the bottles of Yucateco sauce on the table.

Tonight is Scrimshaw Pilsner from Lost Coast Brewing and Kirkland Scotch (primers and powder come first!).

 

[375fan]

This is for you Modoc.
Tonight I grilled burgers on the grill along with sweet corn (in the husk). After the burgers got flipped I put slices of fresh jalapeños on them, after several minutes a slice of cheese went on top and allowed to melt all over. Sliced tomatoes for on top after being placed on grilled bun.
The sweet corn, tomatoes, and jalapeños were all grown in the garden of one of my wife's friends. Washed down with some Modelo Negro.
Dessert time, time to crack open a bottle of Woodford Double Oaked.

Couldn't find anything else in the house, and had no desire to leave to get anything, so resorted to belvedere with lime seltzer. The belvedere in this house may be older than me.

I drink vodka about once a year, if that. Because I hate it.

However, when I grill, I need a drink. It's just my thing. Hit up a new local butcher earlier today and had them make me a blend of 60% ground venison 40% ground beef (70/30). Made some pretty awesome burgers tonight. Vodka in hand.

[bkglock]

Went to my favorite liquor store, Riley's in Madison Wi. Found these 3 beauties for $89 ea. This has been a $129 bottle around here for the last couple years.
This is my favorite Aberlour, but it's not a $129 bottle. But at $89 I bought all they had.

 

[stemikel]

Thanks for the tip. Just arrived here. This will be my first stop tomorrow.

What batch? I’ve had all of them. I find batch 1 to be the far and away winner.

 

[Labanaktis]

Never had batch 1 but 3 had some really old juice in it… The B3 I had was buttery, fatty and thick flavor, kinda like a great Weller Full Proof Store pick. It just had that experience

I couldn’t wait, DANG! Nose is Sweet, with a rye spice punch. Beautiful barrel influence with classic bourbon flavors. Proof is great, no ethanol and I still get that tingle on the gums. Dark red fruits and a hit of leather and cola notes. Medium finish. I’ve been after one of these for almost 3 years and it does not disappoint. Aaaaaa!

We were at the distillery and they had a couple openings that afternoon. They keep a few open throughout the week for this bottling. It was $169 and change. 15/20 minutes to go back and hand bottle your own. There are a few YT clips of this experience if you’re interested.

Had the Old Fitz 13yr Very Very Special release on the 3rd floor Bar at Evan Williams. The Nose was ridiculous, the Pallet was great to but not as good as the Nose presented.
