I haven’t seen a second bottle of this since my first purchase in 2017. It’s insane. For once I’m ready to pull the clear-the-shelves move whenever I spot it, please don’t judge. No judgement here!

I used to be very polite leaving material for others to enjoy. But after being burnt over and over again, including case of Stitzel Lot B, no more. Grab it.

B.B. Babington Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Tonight thought to do bunch of eclectics but not sure where it's going. Had: Thomas Moore Chardonnay finish (1792 with chardonnay) Abraham Bowman Port Finish (BT with port) Woodford Reserve Malt Whiskey (like their past collectors series) The Moore is great, not worth the $70 tag but anyone looking at these products not concerned with $$. I'll probably get more in the series. Woodford Malt really fun. It's world unto itself. If you've not had it, try it. Bowman Port seems like BT with little extra. Though I liked the others better, I kept refilling with this. So now thinking I'll just finish evening with boring normal rather than wilder stuff.

Supposedly 10 year Barton bourbon. It was stupid expensive ($100+), but so good! I saw they released it again recently as a 12 year old and upped the price slightly. I've been really fighting myself to not get one. Also, just because the last batch was good doesn't mean this batch will be. (shrug) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember it tasting young though with the wine finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, I've got some JMCB batches that will be coming out soon that are going to be between the 127 to 130+ range in proof. If I recall, batch #9 is somewhere around 112 or so? Cheers, Nancy The bottle says 58.77 so 117 proof. I'll be keeping a lookout for those new batches. This one sure is great. Happy to see you back, hope you continue to get better!

HAD to try it after everyone calling it a hot mess on YouTube throughout 2020. I've long since stopped believing the hype. Sure, listen, but judge yourself. Way back "people" said ECBP #2 was poorer. I bought 3 cases. Who's laughing now? With that said, theirs recent lot ECBP (I forget number) that consensus says is great but I found mildly tolerable. Okay, it might be I have poor taste. Hey, if you find A120 not to liking, it's education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up a Batch #20 recently and looking forward to trying it soon. how did that MHC batch 20 end up vs. other batches you have tried? Just got a first bottle and am looking forward to trying it once I get back from our road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the batches you can't tell one from the other. The good thing is that all the ones I have been able to find have been really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfoots Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I’m having my first experience with Wilderness Trail and I’m amazed so far. A 5 year 5 month 117 proof single barrel has a light nose but is a caramel and dark berry flavor bomb. I’m really impressed. I had to go to the “big” city to get it but hopefully I can try to convince my local to carry it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I am having an early week pour. Ok, actually, two of MM101. Work has been hectic and today one of my boyhood and adult idols, Bobby "Slick" Leonard passed away. Anyone from Indy or who lives or lived in Indy is probably familiar with Slick and what he meant to the city and State of Indiana. He lived a great life and will be dearly missed by many. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the news about Bobby Leonard too. The memories came flooding back. I went to a lot of Pacer games back in the day. Good times. A toast with my 21 Weller Blend in the glass. RIP “Slick”. Biba!

fishnbowljoe Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 I started off with a pour that just didn’t trip my trigger. Sadly, down the drain it went. To see if it was me or my taste buds being off, I now have Weller SR in my glass. Ahhhhhh, all good now! Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
