Kepler Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Score and pour. As for the first tasting, it's just a first tasting mind you. But all I can say is Yes. YES fellow Turkeyheads. The rest of you, nothing to see here, just move along please. The nose is freaking amazing. And so is everything else, but that nose just jumps out at you from the very beginning. I'm predicting it's going to be very rewarding trip exploring this one. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JvW Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Had to give it a try, for a good summer sip. Reminds me of my numerous hikes amongst the Redwoods @ the Redwood NP & Sequoia NP… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonman Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Picked up and opened a MMCS 20-05 today. Needs some air time, I believe; first impressions not as good as the 20-03 I just finished, but to be fair, that one got better with time. Compared it to a MM101 I opened last week, and the 101 wiped the floor with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) See @Keplerabove. I agree with his assessment. The nose is amazing and was out of a plastic cup at the store. I’m just enjoying this first pour, and thinking the last WT I liked this much right away was WBSaffel. Will have to revisit with that one at some point.

Just a couple hundred miles SW of you it’s been 90+ and high humidity and like Miami or Jamaica, we got tropical downpours for about 10 min about every hour from 1pm til now and the sun out and blue skies the rest. My wife and kids got chased inside out of the pool a couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I couldn't purchase this particular expression today at that price.

At my age, I can't remember what to do anymore - let alone be able to do. Kinda' like a dog chasing a car - "what do I do if I catch it"? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Opened a "Pandemic Batch 1" ECBP tonight. This one is mighty tasty and drinks (dangerously) below it's 136.6 proof. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvin0791 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 A couple years ago I got a call from Vosgar about some BTAC that was behind the counter of a local bottle shop. @fishnbowljoe (a.k.a. Uncle Joe) got the same call. Thanks to Gary, I was able to purchase my first bottle of GTS. Since we had family over this weekend and we lost Vosgar at this time last year and Stagg was one of his favorites... it seemed appropriate to open the bottle and have a pour in his honor. So, thank you @fishnbowljoe for sharing a glass and thank you Gary for the heads up on an amazing pour! Happy Fouth to all. Murica! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hard post to follow. Doing the MM PS process was one of the more unique and enjoyable barrel picks I’ve ever done. Gorgeous campus as well. Really enjoying this cherry bomb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledInBond Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I just opened an OF barrel pick. Tasty sip and it reminds me how strong of a run the OF lineup has been on. Plenty of us like 1920 and Statesman, the rye is really solid for a good price, the barrel strength picks have Berlage well received, still plenty of fans of the OF100, and the 150th releases were badass. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
