Did a little Bourbon comparison last night. Ezra B 12 year Single Barrel vs Elmer T Lee Single Barrel. While I enjoy the Ezra, there really wasn't much comparison. The Ezra was a bit thin with green apple, some light brown sugar and a touch of maple, creamed corn, rye spice, pepper and some bite on the finish. The Elmer was thick with brown sugar, maple, plum, spice, hints of green apple and a softer finish. This was a nice, winter Bourbon.
Nice. That's one of the two tastes I picked out at the distillery a couple weeks ago. It certainly had a bite to it! Didn't help though that it was my first taste of the day at about 9:30 AM haha

Damn, at 9:30 you might as well just go back to bed!
I fvcking love this pour... I still believe that this holds its own with anything $30 or under, great choice Doug! Btw you will notice as you get a bit more air in the bottle and it has a few weeks to open up that the sweetness and mid palate complexity is going to dramatically increase.
Pretty soon there's going to be a "what firearm did you get today LOL
Lmao no no not going to make a thread like that and yes that is what's snuck in there, just liked how that looked in contrast and thought it was a cool pic is all.
BOOZE!!!!! Seriously I'm 3 or 4 drinks in on some Canadian LTD which tastes like cheap Crown Royal when mixed, no drams of Talisker or Glenfiddich or wee pours of Four Roses for me tonight just good old fashioned cheap Canadian whisky
Had an amazing night of drinks last night out to dinner with my wife and a couple we're good friends with. We went to a great craft beer and whiskey bar, which to our surprise had a tap take-over night by both Port Brewing and Lost Abbey. I'd tried a beer by LA before and it was heavier than I was going for, so I went with a Port flight to start. That included Wipeout, Mongo, Santa's Little Helper, and Old Viscocity. All great beers, but I'd heard good things about OV and it didn't disappoint at all, fantastic! Then something caught my eye on the menu - a beer with BRETT! Allagash Midnight Brett. One of the best beers I've ever had, definitely the best sour beer I've ever had by leaps and bounds. To end is all we had a flight of Bourbons: Breckenridge Special Release, Berkshire, and Smooth Ambler "Yearling." I hadn't tried any before and all were steller. The Yearling was particularly impressive, smelling very strongly of alcohol but then tasting incredibly smooth and complex. The Breckenridge was a very rye-forward bourbon which I enjoyed a lot as well. Overall fantastic night, and I'm not nearly as hung over as I imagined I would be!
