One of the dads on the soccer team I coach owns a store. They don't do much high end whiskey but he was able to get the PHC10 for me at wholesale last year. Today I picked WTMK Decades for $120 cash. Looking forward to trying it.

Store pick WR double oaked.

 

Chocolate covered cherries, butterscotch, caramel, vanilla, a hint of coffee cake, and a host of other things I've yet to identify.

The complexity is off the charts.

I'm thoroughly impressed!

 

Now if I could only get the glass back from the wife......

In Alabama this week to visit a vendor, and brought back the requisite trio of Virgin 101's, along with a WT Tradition.

Wow admittedly envious of the Tradition, enjoy that!

Haha! Yes, you have perhaps opened my eyes to Dickel goodness. I will admit it. I'm just confirming the man's suspicion because I'm in that group and know the answer!

Oh come on, you know you like that Dickel goodness! emoji6.png

 

Cool.  Thanks.

 

Yeah, I've got nothing against the dickel.  Just nice to see something different from Barrell. 

And I love me some MGP product.

 

Must admit to being slightly envious that you're a member.  From what I've heard, some of the picks have been legendary...

I didn't actually purchase it, but was gifted a 4R small batch for helping out one of the directors at work in a pinch the other week.

Interested on how this is? There's a liquor store that I go to that doesn't do much high end business but has a few odd bottles including this for $130, looks like it's been sitting on the shelf behind the register for about two years. I'm thinking about offering them $100 and see what they say.

I think that's probably the 17 year Master's Keep that you've seen for awhile.  The Decades is the new one this year (that most stores in Texas don't have yet - shocking I know).

lol I thought this Master's Keep which I'm actually more interested in.

 

The place also has a bottle of Diamond which I'm going to throw out $80 and see if they bite.

Well both are Master's Keeps.  

MK #1 = 17 year old.  

MK #2 = Decades.

Curious was this the new label? Supposedly they did a new release waiting for it to hit Texas.

 

Yes, new label.

 

I have not had the chance to taste it critically yet,  but it tasted Ok from the bottle:lol:

It's $130 at the Va ABC with the closest store with any in stock (1) is 26 miles away.

Nice Joe. :D FWIW, the other bourbon I was considering for this months BOTM was Virgin 101. It's possibly on deck for next month. ;) FWIW, It might be easier for me to make it the BOTM for July if I had a bottle to try so I could post my own notes. (HINT HINT) :lol:

 

Cheers! Joe

No.

It's a bastard child Four Roses contract distilled, Beam, and Brown-Forman whiskey plus who knows what else.

I'm actually more excited to try it now.  Sounds interesting, and the price was right.  Plus the 375ml bottles are strangely medicinal looking.

Thought I was the only one that thought this. Sounds like a batting someone would around here.
