Having a sip of Noah's mill - 15 YO, with a bit of water. Excellent stuff!! I have been fond of this bourbon since the first time I tried it about 10 years ago.

Bourbon Joe wrote:Had me a pour of Ron's 4 Grain tonight, in honor of Ron, who invented it and recently passed away. RIP Ron. Joe
I had a sip of the same tonight, Joe. It is an excellent vatting. I am sorry to hear of Ron's death. It is a reminder of what awaits us all. May I take this opportunity to say that I do, and have always have, admired you, Joe. We are different, and I admire that difference in you.

I am torn about my next purchase, i can afford either bowmore 12, Ardmore Scotch Highland Single Cask 92, glenfiddich 15 solera, four roses single barrel or knob creek single barrel i just cant decide. Tonight is hookah and some aberlour 10.
“A man can take a little bourbon without getting drunk, but if you hold his mouth open and pour in a quart, he's going to get sick on it."
Henry McKenna, Sour Mash. Got it at the store in Greenwood last week. I have to say I am a little surprised. It is one of the cheaper bourbons on the shelf but I like the sweet fruit nose and the way it doesn't linger around. I bought some Dickle Original at the same time and I think I should have just purchased tow bottles of the McKenna.
Friday night brought me over to my neighbor's house for a concert on the big screen. Led Zepplin's Celebration Day, live 2007 at the O2 in London. A spectacular concert for sure but the real draw was the bourbon. The evening consisted of three pours I do not have [open] at home. It started off with a splash of 15YO Pappy. next came a little 20YO of the same. When the glass was almost empty I added a tiny bit of 15 to see what happens. Very good but I like the 15 on it's own better. The final pour of the evening was a three way. I'm guessing 25% 20YO, 40% 15YO, and 35% Stagg. This was spectacular and I look forward to trying it again for confirmation.
For some reason, I'm just now getting around to trying Fighting Cock.
It's nice, but I wanted to like it more. I probably won't buy very often for the same reason I haven't bought it before: It's only a couple bucks cheaper than OGD and a few more cheaper than WT101. FC is nice, but I enjoy those 2 far more for about the same price.
