latech15 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well I will go against the grain with this one. I found it at what appeared to be a good price - $27.99 for the 375 and $50.99 for the 750. I bought the 375 and tried it last night. I didn't like it on the first sip. It certainly started off good, like a stronger/hotter wheat bourbon, but somewhere around the middle to the end of the sip, it went whangy on me. It was not the usual wheat backend that I expected. It was something completely different. Almost like something spoiled. I dont know if this is just my not liking this profile, or if it was something with this bottle, but I will not be buying this one again. I also apoligise for not being better at dscribing tastes and flavors better than "whangy".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 .... I also apoligise for not being better at dscribing tastes and flavors better than "whangy"....AWWWW, don't apologize for that! "Whangy"; I love that term! I think it's great; Unique.I'm now seeking an opportunity to use it myself! I haven't been feeling quite whangy since yesterday.Hoping to be able to get whangy by this evening.My taste buddies are desperate to taste something whangy, really soon. This is FUN!!!! Thanx, latech15!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't found a wheated bourbon that doesn't go "whangy" on my pallate right out of the bottle. Maybe it's all mental, but I find they need to breath.

TunnelTiger Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Will probably finish off my second bottle tonight. Which I've enjoyed much more than the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also apoligise for not being better at dscribing tastes and flavors better than "whangy"....Can't help it, but I like MMCS. I like regular MM too. Give it another shot later on latech15. Let it sit for a few days then revisit it. Many wheaters have a tendency to "open up" after being open a while. Don't give up the ship just yet. Also, and FWIW, those aren't bad prices for either the 375 or 750.Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Tot Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I also apoligise for not being better at dscribing tastes and flavors better than "whangy"....What Rich said. I was in Tomintoul a few weeks ago and at The Whisky Castle I ended up describing a single malt to a German tourist with hand gestures. Whatever works.

Would have loved to see the German's face. :grin: "Whangy" works for me when I think of wheated beers. :slappin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty awesome deal. If Binny's didn't have it nearby me for $49.99 (which is close to what I'd be paying after shipping from your link), I'd be all over this. Nice find!

shoshani Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) I had about a third of a bottle of batch 15-02, which I combined with a visually similar amount of standard Maker's. I KNOW, I KNOW but I'll tell you what, it's mighty tasty. And since the cask on this one is roughly 111 and change proof, combined with the 90 proof standard Maker's it clocks in at just under 101. And it's pretty good that way. (Not the 100 proof expression I'd love to see, but close enough as dammit to the old 101 expression they put out years ago.)

Phil T Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I want to try this combo Michael. I really like both as stand alones, but a combination at around a hundo proof intrigues me. I recently bought the CS at $36 for the 750ml, just need to buy the regular iteration and start vatting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some more at that price before the Ohio Department of Liquor Control changes their minds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil T Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I know right?! It was an internet deal that a friend told me about. A CS wheater for 36 bucks is a no brainer, all day any day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 16-03 is out. Saw it at Binny's. IIRC the proof was 111 something but wouldn't bet the ranch on the correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeTerp Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Curious as to how many barrel's / bottles can be in a batch here. i got a 15-03 batch in July when I was in Chicago, but noticed in Virginia that a 15-03 just arrived today at a local ABC store as part of their weekly shipment.

Bourbonmakesmepoop Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Really enjoyed this one. I like how makers is starting to release different products. Even if they are the same mashbills. This one is a classic example of a bourbon that tastes better cask strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
