I'll second that.
It was funny, Willie came down stairs to his smoking lounge and ask us to tell him what he poured. Crap, I hate this game! Well it was dark so it had to have some extensive age and it smelled like a warehouse which confirmed the age. It also exhibited a definate floral quality. The best I could come up with was an aged 20+ years rye. I almost fell out of the leather sofa when he confirmed I was correct. However, I couldn't come up with what it was, Hirsch 21 yr, exactly but I was prety close. Sometimes I amaze myself.
Doug brought along some extremely aged wheated bourbon; two bottles one 30 and the other 32. It was amazing that the 32 was better than the 30. It was a fantastic evening with friends, bourbon, cigars and food.
Sorry about tooting my own horn, but I'm really proud I got as close as I did. I must be learning
Thanks Willlie for the great night.
