[emoji14]100% true - between the “BIN” and “fracking” typos I can now attest there is definitely a liquid in each of those bottles that causes a degree of inebriation Those 3 bottles were good, but not great - definitely not value plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all been there. Well, at least you get a nice decanter with the Old Fitz. The Remus I really struggle with. I love me some MGP bourbon, but didn't care much for any of the Remus releases. I don't really understand how some of the sourced labels do such a good job with MGP bourbon, but the product they release themselves can't quite measure up. Perhaps and understandably so, MGP doesn't want to release a better product than some of their customers do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwperry Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 June's liquor budget officially expended....and maybe part of July's.First time ever finding a MMPS & ECBP in the wild for MSRP. First time seeing WTMK 17. I've really appreciated some Knob Creek lately, so I grabbed 2 more bottles of the Reserve (cracked into one this weekend and it was awesome!) & the last bottle of small batch store pick from Knightly Spirits. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizzy Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Went into an LS this past weekend that I hadn't been into in ages. Wasn't much there, but saw a Booker's for $55, so I figured I'd grab it. Saw it was release number two as I just did a quick glance. I thought to myself, "really strange that this place didn't have much in the way of bourbon but already had the 2nd release of '19". Got home and was bringing my haul for the day in the house. Upon further inspection it was release 2016-02 Annis Answer. Sometimes it pays off to go to the old haunts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji4]I think most consider Texas Weller land, when you said North I assumed Oklahoma. Now I’m really confused. I think Texas can give Illinois a run for the money in corruption we just more discreet and sophisticated down here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
