markandrex Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 A heavy pour of MM BU 1-3. I found a box with five of these in it in the back of a closet. Life is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 So this has changed quite a bit since it was first opened. When we cracked it, liquid peanut butter. Now it is a weird and wonderful blend of funk and red fruits. Fantastic! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSkyDrams Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) HMcK10 wasn’t hitting out of the park straight so I turned it into an old fashioned that really complemented my first outdoor grilled chicken of the year. Now revisiting the ORVW that was agreeable with me last night. So far so good! Edited March 14, 2021 by BigSkyDrams 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saved me having to stand there and try to decide which of the 70 or so bottles I have open to have a pour from. Thanks Kjbarth. RR SiB is some good stuff!

mbroo5880i Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Just good old OF100 the last couple of evenings following soccer. This bottle has the nice cherry and light oak profile that I enjoy. Watching a little Home Town and relaxing after a long weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commend you on your choices, both very excellent!!!! OF1920 is great, currently my regular pour. And Weber kettle is the only way to go. Though your skills probably better than mine, these days I don't drink and drive nor do I drink and grill, otherwise the meat might be charcoal, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven s Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) We had more overnight snow here than we have had in a couple of years, and the skiing/snowboarding was fantastic. Of course then I was reluctantly prepared to shovel 2 feet of snow from 2 decks and my driveway when I got home exhausted. I found that wife and a daughter had spent an hour on it and had it 90% done! A special day deserved a special pour(s). A W12 was such a nice, light, sweet start. Love this and I wish I had more. Next up was an OFSBBS fresh crack. Immediately reminded me of the bright red small valentines day cinnamon candies I had as a kid that started hot and turned into sweet goodness. Looking forward to seeing how this bottle evolves. Will enjoy one more of these with a chip of ice, then consider my options. cheers all!

bayouredd Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 This may be the only bottle of my opened, which cannot be describe without using the dreaded word, "smooth". It just is!!! At a bit over 104 proof, it drinks like a 90 proofer; absolutely no burn! You do however, have to be prepare for the Barrell Bourbon Funk which can only be describes as dirty mushrooms. I have tasted it in every BB sampled. This one is quite heavy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from Third Base Market and the label states "distilled in Tennessee" and it has that hint of vitamin minerality. I don't find that objectionable at all and am really enjoying my bottle. Very complex and, yes, smooth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 I got home from work today and started climbing the MM “step” ladder this evening. I started with MM 46. Good. Next was my CS/MM Blend. Pretty darned good. In the glass now is MM 101. Very good. What can I say? Weller Whore or Wheater Whore, it’s all wheater good! Biba!
