The 10 and 12 year old whiskeys I've had in the past few years didn't have anywhere near the color or complexity of flavors that this old WT 101 has. It's to be expected I guess, the more popular it becomes, the more it is rushed out the door. Have you noticed more and more whiskeys are losing their age statements? A large part of that is due to the fact the distilleries for the most part are less selective in making cuts (if any) during the run and by and large most have switched to using plated or refluxe columns rather than the pot stills which yield less alcohol but inherently have more flavor than the former. Look for more to implement heat aging to reduce time spent in the barrel.

Picked me a up a nice big bottle of Bulleit last month and I'm a happy camper.
Can't get even a whif of Pappy or EC here. Like they're holding gold dust, if you do get a whif.

Angel's Envy from Lincoln Henderson is catching my taste buds lately. Finished in port wine barrels. Found it at a barbeque joint in Chesterland OH and got a bottle for Christmas. For me, it's a nice change of pace from the Buffalo Trace and Woodford I keep around.
By the way, if you're in the Chesterland area, look up Oak & Embers for some good BBQ and a good, lengthy bourbon list. Angel's Envy is one bourbon I really disliked. It just doesn't taste the way I want bourbon to taste. But folks have different tastes, that's why they make and sell as many different types/brands that they do. I'm doing my part to help keep the price of that stuff down for ya by reducing demand.

Thought only Oregonians knew about Pendleton. A bit too sweet for me but the women like it ;-) Makers Mark or Knob Creek for bourbon. I'm liking good Scotch though.

If you like scotch, it is no wonder you like Makers....

You got that right. I know a guy who landed a bottle of Pappy 15 for $150. He took it to his local store and traded for a couple of BT, which I thought was pretty smart. Just said he wanted something of good quality to last him the year and one jug of Pappy wouldn't cut his consumption.
IMO he didn't compromise one bit.

Old Crow can't be matched. I'll have to toss a jug in the basement for a few months and see how much better it tastes after more aging.

That last post didn't get so much as a reply out of you guys? Tough crowd.
I just poured myself a splash of Wild Turkey 101. Good but not great.
In all honesty, I do prefer some old Crow if I'm going to mix my bourbon with some Coke. No sense wasting expensive booze for that.

I have grown very fond of Elijah Craig too it's moved to an easy access ![[Linked Image]](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e46/rbunt227/20150129_131852_zpssmhmzmef.jpg) position on the bar
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.
