Plain old ER is in the glass, and it’s tasting purty darned good Biba! Joe Don't want to ruin a good thing. Back to bottle kill mode. Once again I'm blending some Kirkland Bourbon with a dusty Barclay's Bourbon. IMHO, this blend is better than either of the two on their own. Maybe not by much, but I swear it's better. Biba!

BMartin42 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Enjoying some 1792 SB and then a little FRSiB to go along with FINALLY seeing John Wick 3 since my Cardinals didn’t bother to show for the NLCS. Congratulations to the Nats though. Hope they take it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I had a drink of MM this evening before the football game and it's not too bad. But I do wonder why the price on MM has dropped so much over the past 4-5 years. When I bought my first bottle, it was around $33/750ml but today I can find it for $22/750ml almost every other week. Last month, I bought a 1.75L bottle for just a bit less than $40. Beam-Suntory is a business and not a non-profit so I'm guessing that I might have missed something along the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 EW BIB tonight, and I'm happy because a store may be taking some of my advice what to carry. I got a sale email. That started a conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 6 minutes ago, HoustonNit said: Curious why do you think the price has down on regular MM? My first guess and the simplest is that they have too much inventory. Of course, that could be debated because once inventory was brought back to a reasonable level, raising and maintaining those higher prices for a sustained period of time would be difficult . We all like bourbon but it would be hard to convince us that the $22 bottle that we were buying is now worth $30. I suppose an argument could be made for the idea that they've lowered prices to gain market share. I really don't know, that's why I asked.

parksmart Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Took this to a well regarded resto locally, to share with the co-owner/sommelier. Fascinating nose, with a complex palate of vanilla, cherry and plantain. 1980 bottle date..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no rule about drinking Bourbon, other than this one: Drink it how you like it best. There is also a corollary to that rule: Don't let anybody ever tell your not doing it right if you're enjoying it!!!!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
