BigRich Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Picked up a bottle of CEHT small batch to go wait with the other backup bottles. Now my stash cabinet is completely full, and I need to start finishing some of the opened ones before I purchase any more.Yeah, good luck with that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Bought 6 JB repeal batch 1L. 9.99 at Costco. Ever so slightly cheaper than buying white label in the 1.75 format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them was "Makers Mark Cask Strength". IIRC, quite a few of us who had moved on from basic MM as "ok but not interesting" and didn't find MM 46 all that much better found that we liked the MMCS enough to buy it. Our comments, mostly from 2015-2017, do contain some tasting notes. It was also a Bottle of the Month (BOTM) back then. GO TO SB's "Home" (upper left corner of this page) then scroll down to "Bourbon Discussion" and select "Straight Bourbon of the Month" then browse among the topics. Yeah, I did this right after. Thanks for clarifying, this was the general consensus I got too. Will try to pick a bottle up in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the variations are greater, knowing something about a particular offering can help the rest of us when deciding to buy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since I've joined the forums, it's helped me immensely in my purchases from the bottom to top shelves. Will share my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I was in danger of having my card revoked, and had to re-up my cult membership. I’ve only had one taste of a Q and didn’t care for it. This barrel was supposedly both Al Young’s and Brent’s pick of the litter so I preordered two at $70 each. Entire barrel sold out on preorder so I’m crossing my fingers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be a little hot when 1st cracked based on a couple I’ve tried. Almost a full 10 years and not a very high proof makes me suspect you did good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 The New Riff was limit one and the first time I’ve ever seen it. Got to taste the Legent last weekend and excited to have a bottle here at home to explore without all the cigar smoke messing with my taste buds.

Double C's Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Several store picks showed up yesterday and I couldn't resist. I have also been wanting to get a bottle of EHT smb for months now and was finally able to get one without having to pay a high price for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Bret Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Was in the local bottle shop and saw 5 Stagg Jr bottles on the shelf (this never happens). Asked how many I could buy. Clerk said no limit. Didn't want to be a Dick so only bought 4 (49.95 ea) and put the other one behind a full shelf of Benchmark No.8. Someone will get a nice suprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
