You should, i was not a big fan of the regular MM but this one is good, it was the first pour of the bottle, so it needs to open up a little bit.

I might just have to do that tonight! The regular MM is typically my "wedding reception last resort" pour when it's either that or JD. I think the M46 is decent also. Haven't tried M46 Cask Strength.

Masset1982 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 If you do so, let me know what are you think about it. Never tried M46CS either, not available in Europe. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Small pours thus far of BirdDog 10 yr, SAOS American Whiskey, and a slightly larger pour of Blade & Bow 22yr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emr454 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Jim Beam Double Oak. Honestly I wasn't thrilled with it at first, but tonight it's hitting all the right notes for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 In emptying a couple of bottles last week, I vatted the last small remnants of a Lot B and an Old Rip 10 into a 200 ml. That be what I'm pouring tonight. Just like Campbell's Soup. "Mmmm Mmmm Good." Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm0369 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Cracked this bottle of Old Fitz BiB and I'm working on pour #2. This is nice for a $15 bottle, it's dated 2009. I had a false alarm the other day when I found this bottle. Fairly seedy store with deep rows of the BiB and Prime.....bottom shelf and relatively dusty. I literally never see any Fitz so it caught me off guard. Everything was from the 2000's though, no SW for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with RR10yr SiB and I have a good barrel here. 2 drops of water really makes it sing. I will follow with the old standby, OWA. Is the RR10yr SiB a wheater? I don't see it listed on my wheated bourbons chart. Also, is the SiB a 10yr? I don't see an age statement on the label. The reason I'm asking, is I have a bottle of RR10yr, that isn't a SiB, and is 90 proof, and am wondering if it's a wheater. Thanks, Dean Edited January 25, 2017 by Queball Clarification of question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Dean To answer your questions, no and no. The confusion is a small typo in Steve's post. I'm sure he meant RY10 which is wheated and single barrel. Turkey makes no wheated bourbon.

CardsandBourbon Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just finished a glass of that Town Branch. Not bad. Probably better as a mixer. Enjoyed it but really doesn't stand as tall as some recent pours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) A few of us Maryland SB'ers met a local BBQ joint and had a great time tonight. If you count the whole table, we had GTS, THH, ORVW, Lot B, ETL, RHF, W12 and probably a few others that I didn't see. Plus beers and food. Pic is dark but left front going clockwise around the table is garbanzobean (Eric), meadeweber (Jason), jfw (Joe) and then back right working to front is stoopsie (Howie), his buddy Kevin, Charlutz (Charlie) and mdbourbon (Scott). We had a great time and it was good to put faces to names. Thanks fellas! PS - pic was just before we left, thus the high incidence of water and lack of whiskey (we drank it all).

Cheers! I did try it (MMCS) tonight. Got a heavy acetone like smell on the nose at first. It dissipated a bit was still there some after a while. Other than that I get some sweet smell and then a spiciness (curry?). I dont really get any oak. The mouthfeel is very syrupy and the dominant taste is sweetness. At the end i get a bit of spice and then finally the oak as it fades out. The finish is the most balanced of the whole experience with sweet, spice, and oak all together for a short bit but the palate is so syrupy sweet that its really one dimensional. Way sweeter than i expected. My experience may have been compromised by having some Stagg Jr. just before this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeluxeReverb Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 OGD 114. Bought a few bottles recently, opened one tonight, and am really enjoying it. Pairs nicely with the Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey tobacco I bought on a nostalgia whim. I smoked it in college and have not tried it since, some 35 years later. Slainte!
