I love a good bourbon as my handle suggests. Neat is the only way to pour it IMHO. Away from home on a conference, but talking to a colleague last night made me want a nice pour of Very Old Barton Bottled in Bond (VOB BiB). It's great stuff if you can find it (and cheap). I'm a big fan of 4R and OWA that you guys are drinking as well.
Cheers,
Roger

96 proof VOB has become my 'house bourbon', it's so good. We don't get the VOB/BIB/100 proof down here, so I can only imagine what a nice pour that is!
Suntory is purchasing Jim Beam - lock, stock and barrel.

I think this is a right of passage as I have the same story. Anyone like bulliet?

Kirin has done a great job with bringing back 4R (in no small part thanks to Jim Rutledge). The Japanese really like very aged, very oaky bourbon. I wonder if we'll see a new extra aged product from Beam with this acquisition. They certainly produce enough for some extended aging.
Smart fellers, those Japanese. They have exquisite taste in old U.S. made audio equipment too! :thmbsp:
I like my whiskey without any junk in it, but yeah, that would have to be cut. 90 proof swill I can handle...128...?!
It's said Booker use to steal his wife's wine bottles to bottle special batches of bourbon for himself, hence the wine "shaped" bottle you can buy from the liquor store.

Led Zep and 15 year old Pappy Van Winkle sounds like a winner to me. I'll have ta go cry in my Basil Hayden's...

I got lucky.....put my name on a waiting list and finally got the call!! From what I understand it's only released a couple times a year....
Another one I might suggest is the Elijah Craig 21 yr. old, very good bourbon. And in a pinch the 12 yr old is still pretty good!!
Having great trust in PM in all things Bourbon and music I bought a small bottle of VOB when I bought some of my house Bourbon, Ezra Brooks.
I poured the same amount of each into two old fashion glasses and the EB looked like weak urine in comparison. Then added water to both.
The VOB diluted was still darker than the undiluted EB.
The EB made me shiver a little, the VOB didn't. The VOB was smoother. So I have found an every day Bourbon to replace EB.

I really like Evan Williams, as well. Always had a nice, smooth taste, to my palate.

Picked up some Woodford Reserve...not bad bourbon. Sweet oak and spicy cinnamon followed by zestiness of orange. A good sipper.
