Jfletchgu Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 This was a good one. Luckily for me I have another bottle waiting in the bunker that has been eagerly anticipating its promotion to the drinking cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako254 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 12 years old, 51.6% ABV. Man, Greg Metze doesn’t get his due. I prefer MGP over many of the KY big boys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I brought this bottle to the gazebo last week, but it came home with enough left for one last 3 finger pour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemosabe Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Killed my last bottle of this. It was delicious until it seems to lose some steam after being opened for a few months with just a few drams left in it. I wish I had more in the bunker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that too with mgp bourbon, and specifically the one you mentioned. I usually gas any open mgp’s that will be sitting awhile. Anyway, sorry for your loss. That low rye mgp mash in those “TEN” bottles is some of my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer MGP over many of the KY big boys. That's because the KY big boys don't offer well-aged 12 year old bourbons anymore. Unless it's a special limited edition and they charge an arm and a leg for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any SAOS I come across gets scooped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact that they function similarly to a Glencairn for tasting and sipping neat, but are wide enough to accommodate a large-size ice cube when that is desired.

The only exceptions I can think of are ECPB and some KC SiB store picks but you have to wonder how long that will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W12 is another example, although it’s harder to find these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen W12 in the wild for over 10 years here in the Bay Area so that's why I didn't mention it. I consider it a unicorn, unfortunately.

I kid you not that it's easier for me to get BTAC than Weller 12. No exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why they call it "rare"? The good folks in Lawrenceburg knew what they were doing when they came up with this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
