Drink of Choice

Went into the arsenal and pulled out Smooth Ambler 100 proof Wheated Bourbon to enjoy on the porch last night while puffing on a cigar. I’m no tasting expert. But, to me, it has a hint of cherry and is very smooth for a 100 proof bourbon with one ice cube. Here’s hoping everyone else had a good evening and a better morning.
zbigjeff That is usually my method of choice, one ice cube which I sometimes pull out if I feel I’ve hit the “sweet spot”

glen I leave the ice in and sip quicker when it hits the sweet spot.

glen The “sweet spot” is always a good thing.
Lol. Oh so true!
We do carry that brand but have never tried it. Pretty slow mover.On a different note, new Walton’s catalog arrived today. May call for something on the rocks while paging through. I may be old fashioned, but still like catalogs. Probably why I still get the newspaper. Online is great, but…

PapaSop I’m with you on that. Looking at it on print is a lot easier on the old eyes.

zbigjeff I’ll take your word on the Ceegar these days, but the bourbon sounds real good.

Popped a new bottle tonight. It brings the heat at 107, but has a good caramel flavor.

GWG8541 I’ve had a couple other EB products. But, never that one in the pic. If it’s like the rest, there’s always a place on my shelves for their items. Drink well.
zbigjeff this was a store pick from a place I frequent in Tennessee.

PapaSop Re Slow Mover: Shhhhhhhh. If the chasers get ahold of it, it will become extinct. Look what has happened when they even go on a social rampage for middle tier liquor.
zbigjeff just wandering if anyone has purchased or had a chance to try the Jack Daniels 10 year yet? I haven’t seen it yet, but I understand its out there.

GWG8541 Just took a challenged person shopping today and didn’t see that on the shelves. Will keep looking.

GWG8541 Went to store today and they were sold out. I was so disappointed that I bought a basil Hayden toast and Noble Oak Double Oak Bourbon. Reviewing them right now. Well, I’m also liking the “Toast” like another countryman PapaSop. It has a nice thick liquid feel on the palate with a long after taste that’s pleasant neat. It was the last one on the shelf. They started with a case earlier in the day. The Noble Oak was aged in American oak and finished in Sherry Oak. It’s decent. But, Woodford Reserve double Oak still beats it.
GWG8541 PapaSop When I tasted the Basil Hayden Toast, I knew “something” was different. But, couldn’t put my tongue on it. Before we started retasting it on Saturday, we looked up the “character/explanation” behind the new boy on the block and here it is: In lieu of traditional rye grain, Basil Hayden Toast is made using American-grown brown rice which, according to the brand, imparts a hint of sweetness and a touch less spice, while a secondary toasted barrel finish draws out notes of caramelized sugar and toasted wood.

While crews were fixing a gas leak in the complex, I thought on day 4 (today) would be a good time to open up something that was full in the arsenal. Yellowstone bourbon was a decent pour and could be easily be consumed neat. But, I decided on a ice cube. Lo and behold after 1.5 hours of sipping this afternoon, the gas was turned on and are now able to cook on the stove and get hot water. Must’ve been a good luck charm (prob: not really. Just good timing).

Good to hear you have your “gas” figured out.
We’ve had the Yellowstone for awhile. Not yet tried.“Sipping” for an hour and a half??? We need to talk.

PapaSop Was that tooooo short of a time??? It was a circus just watching all of the organizations going in circles and how not to run a project (Fire inspectors, Gas Company reps, 3 party vendors).

zbigjeff I agree on the Yellowstone that it’s decent bourbon, on the sweet/spicy side. I preferred it with an ice cube. We had it last Thanksgiving and I believe that’s what the wife used in her Pecan Pie & Bourbon Sweet Potatoes.
A bud of mine came up from the Canon City area last week and brought me this bourbon. SIXTY MEN, out of Texas. It’s smooth on the tongue with a little bit of late burn in the throat. It’s not available in the Denver area but he found it down in Pueblo. Speaking of Pueblo, Co has anyone heard from Fat_Bob lately? I hope he’s still tuned in.
Fat_Bob – you out there??

Fat_Bob – you out there??Bob Stehlik First of all, have not heard from “fatbob” for awhile. Re: 60 men pour. Not here yet. Will add it to the “ok to taste” list. Glad you enjoyed it.

LOL. No. Being a beer drinker all my life, I tend to slam these… Doesn’t always end up well.
My one son got me going on bourbon about four years ago. Still adjusting. Perhaps one day I’ll sip… But then again. Hmm. -
Lots a bourbon on display lately. How about a Whisky tonight?
