I liked this more than recall. I am down to my last half bottle, I really enjoyed OKI - miss you old friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was just done the old fashioned way via checking what was available on the shelves. Luckily i found plenty of my 2 favorite barrels. But your extra level of investigating distributor stock was a stroke of genius. Well done. Honestly I enjoy a good barrel of this bourbon as much as just about anything I drink, this side of a special LE like BTAC or 4RLE Edited December 19, 2020 by Kepler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSkyDrams Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Despite all of my recent good fortune on new purchases, I didn’t open anything new tonight. Actually, I’m finding that I’ve pretty much filled my current storage spots with bottles and am kind of running out of stash space (good problem to have I guess), so I worked down some of the opens tonight instead. After a dinner of perfectly cooked Santa Maria style tri-tip accompanied by a couple glasses of a really tasty bottle of wine, I had a healthy pour of OF Statesman, which I’m still digging quite a bit, and just finished with a nightcap of Blanton’s, which was a little slice of heaven. As you may have inferred from the “opening Blanton’s” thread this week, I am ready to die on the “Blanton’s is fantastic” hill... but maybe it’s just a great barrel.

PaulO Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 in the past couple months, I've witnessed MMCS on and off sale, and a brief appearance of MM 101. MMCS came back on sale, so I decided grab some. I got batch 20-04 109 proof. It took a little while for the first pour to open up. I'm liking it. I'm getting some OWA flashbacks to the early 2000s (in a good way). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil T Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I was hoping to pick up a MM 101 to take on our weekend trip. No go at a couple different stores. So, I picked up a RR 10yr. If one has to settle for something else, it might as well be a quality pour right?!! This Turkey brings a balance of smoke and spice in a very drinkable 90 proof. I guess I'll suffer through. Anyway, I've settled in with a nice pour for the Big Ten Championship game. GO BUCKS!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting some OWA flashbacks to the early 2000s (in a good way). I believe my most recent batch was 20-02 and maybe 112 proof. I enjoyed it but had to dilute to 105-110 proof. I noticed the price of MMCS dropped significantly in the Fall. I still see it in the mid-$30s as an everyday price depending on the store. I bought a MM101 today on sale for $34. The regular price was $39.99. I thought I saw MMCS in the mid-$50s. I wonder if the drop in price on MMCS was to clear it out so that MM101 can take its place in the $30-40 price range. I just can't see MMCS being less expensive than MM101 long-term. However, everything I read is that MM101 is a limited release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I did a lot of shopping today and so I have done a decent amount of drinking tonight to heal my wounded wings. Started off with a pour of OGD BIB, followed by MM101, followed by New Riff, followed by OF100. None were large pours but enough for a nice taste and enjoyment. Played board games with the family and now watching "Sing" on Fx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
