IowaJeff Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I had a couple of healthy pours of MM 46 last night. It was priced at $38 and I got 20% off so ended up just over 30. I like it. It takes the classic MM flavor profile and adds a bit of spice on the palate and a bit of butterscotch, or something different on the finish. It has a good enough flavor that it probably could have stood up to a bit higher proof. I like it slightly better than 'regular' MM, which I also enjoy. It probably won't be a regular buy for me at $38, but if I can get a good deal on it I would buy it again to fill my wheater needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know Jeff...I want to pick up a bottle of this as well but I haven't seen it in Chicago yet.I'm having a pour of Louisville Weller Centennial...this is definitely heaven in a glass! Man I wish they still made this stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Maker's 46, neat.Not bad, maybe a little light but I can definatley testify that this is a wheater unlike Maker's Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boozer Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Maker's 46, neat.Not bad, maybe a little light but I can definatley testify that this is a wheater unlike Maker's Mark.I agree, got more flavors than the MM, which tends to be a little too one dimensional. At this proof level, its the kind of bourbon one could drink "all night long". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 its the kind of bourbon one could drink "all night long".It is a marketer's dream so I must tip my hat to them, it has just enough flavor to tease the bourbon aficionado and mild/watered to satisfy the masses with the A-B coined phrase "Drinkability".

nor02lei Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 We came back late yesterday from a cruise to Ã…land (island that belong to Finland). We had quit a lot of pours from the ORVW 10/107 and EC that I brought wth me from home. Both tasted splendid. We had fantastic whether for a change with the first 2 real hot days this summer and it was actually +30 C when we got back to Stockholm.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More depth, touch of spice and more robust finish makes this one a winner. Very drinkable neat which I normally wouldn't do with regular MM as I find it too one dimensional.

matthew0715 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Any tips on bourbon hunting near Harrisburg, PA would be greatly appreciated.PA is a pretty tightly run control state so your chances of finding any dusties is approximately.............zero.Hanging at a hotel in Central Pennsylvania drinking WT101.On the plus side, unlike Michigan for example, there is not a state minimum price with stores allowed to charge more. The price for product X is the same in any store in the state. If you go to the consumer website for the Liquor Control Board, you can find the stores nearest you by city, county or zip code. You can see this month's sale items (WT 101 Rye only $17.99) or check a store's inventory (as of the day before).Happy Hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLfarmboy Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 OGD BIB. I'm coming to terms with the fact I'm liking this better than the last bottle of 114 I bought. Difference in flavor profile?I want an OGD BIB at 114 proof. But then, it wouldn't be a BIB would it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Been listening to the Braves on the radio with a couple of pours of 1792. Typical Barton, but with a thicker and richer profile. For $22, this is a terrific pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 You hear any tigers?Yes sir. A well pitched game from the two young starters. I sure hope the Braves can hit fastballs, because over the next 3 days we may not see one under 96 with Scherzer, Verlander and Strasburg toeing it up. :eek: As a counter, I'll be bringing out the heat myself, later today. 08 Stagg...
