Got some good news today and opened up a FR SmB LE 2012. Very satisfying.

Completely agree. It's so massive it always puts a stamp on any evening. I haven't tasted both in close proximity, but my impression of PHC 2012 137.9 proof was that it was very Stagg-esque. That could just be heat and mouthfeel.

Started with a pour of 2012 OFBB and followed it up with a pour of 2012 PHC 131.6. All while watching a comedy video by Aziz Ansari. Not a bad evening.

For now. Foundation repairs for both our current and new homes will commence next week and we're scheduled to close both 4 weeks from Friday.

Cheers!

Couldn't agree more. I picked up one of the last EC18 bottles in my area (at $60 I might add) a couple of months ago, and am down to about a half bottle. Had another pour from it last night, and it's just not that great, and amongst others, I'd buy FR1B at $30 over it any day of the week.

Also had a pour of Maker's 46, and this is growing on me. It was a one and done for me initially, but after a couple of months of air-time, it has opened up nicely and is a tasty bourbon. Worth having around I'd say.

I quite agree Jeffery. In my more active days I kept some Makers around for visitors and guests and if I were keeping a fully stocked bar today Makers 46 would be present.

Here comes the fury. I've got two hours to kill at the Twisted Spoke. If you can get here by 430 I've got a drink for you.
