Having some HM10 tonight. The bottle is on its last legs. 

Had the same last night. Really disappointed that it got so much hype a few years back and became scarce, because I really like it... but I guess that just means the hype is justified.

I’ve been working on projects, and now I’m warming up with some 2013 WLW. Delicious

Starting off with some EC SmB tonight after a day of chores; really hitting the spot, haven't had it in a while. I think I'll follow it up with some short(ish) pours of KC and MM101 if I don't just go back for 2nds.

Made my own Wild Turkey Forgiven tonight.  3 parts 101, 1 part Rye.  Decent pour, and a lot cheaper than WT's offering.

By far the best EC that has hit my lips!

Continuing to break in my new Old Fo rocks glass with a stellar pour of the Old Fo BP I picked with my local.

To avoid having to make hard decisions I decided to have seconds of the EC AND the KC and MM101 tonight...someone's gotta make the tough calls.

I'm having some KC 9 year 100 proof.  It's good, but to me, whenever I get the 120 proof single barrel and dilute it around this proof - always seems better.

Here's another thing about the KC 100.  It has this tack room saddle leather/cedar cigar box aroma.  It takes me the first couple sips to get into it.  Then, I get used to it, and like it.

But seriously, 9 years and 100 proof, that has to be somewhere in the regular rotation.

 

Plus at $25ish (in my market anyway) it is almost impossible to match.  Only WT101 can compete in the $20 to $25 range IMO. 

 

I could happily live out my days with only KC100 and WT101 in my liquor cabinet.  KC gives me the brown sugar + oak goodness and WT101 gives me the vanilla + caramel + spicy bite -- between them they cover everything I ever really look for in a good bourbon.

Good call. I think I will add MMCS to your KC100 & WT101. To get a little wheat in my diet.

True;  one must have a balanced diet after all.

Haven’t posted in a while. Was getting tired of it but here’s some of what I’ve been enjoying lately.

The unlabeled MMCS bottle is my double oaked Dant.

  Don't be a stranger.  Nice selections!

Up the 4R proof ladder with the wife while finishing the Mandalorian. The 2020 LE was just  absolute 🔥. What a great whiskey!

I bought and drank the new corked Weller Antique yesterday.  First time I’ve seen one in probably two years which is crazy as these use to be found quite regularly on the shelf a couple years before that in Houston.

 

Not sure the fancy cork justifies $56 when this use to go for around $25.  It was good though.

Unscrewed a new bottle of VOB today.  As I mentioned in the "purchase" thread, I bought it for $16 realizing how often I spent 4x that for something I didn't enjoy half as much.
