The FAE-01 I bought was disappointing.The woody, doughy flavor wasn’t at all to my liking. After a few pours I gave it away. I’d much rather have two bottles of Weller SR than one of the FAE-01. Just my opinion. Biba! Joe Not shocking coming from you. I just had one pour and thought it was way more complex and interesting than the Weller. However yeah considering how much you like Weller I could see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve come back around to MM in the last year or so, and as I said, I’ve been enjoying several of their products lately. Among them are MM, MMCS, MM46, MM46 CS, MMPS and MM 101. I’ve even done a little blending of some of them too. All these were/are good. I spotted an FAE-01 at a liquor store, and since there were some positive comments about it here on SB, I thought I’d take a flyer on one. It’s not about how much I like Weller. I just didn’t like the FAE-01. Biba! Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popped the Pappy 15 tonight and it was delicious. Kind of makes me think why I’m bunkering all these bottles I don’t drink. Cheers yall. Congrats on getting out of there and back home! Nice crack with the Pvw15! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the bottles, I’ve said to others in face to face conversations over the years...what are you saving them for? I think that finding more reasons to open those bottles instead of reasons not to would serve us all pretty well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that my supervisor was off today, so that made it more bearable. I got home from work and hit the back patio with short pours of Pappy 15 and 2019 WLW till it started sprinkling. The reason for the nice pours is that today is my birthday. Yes, I’m now officially an old fart. It’s the big 65! And I quote, “No applause, just throw money.” Biba! Joe You know it's been a really long week when I'm only getting to this post today. Happy belated Joe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob_Loblaw Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Never thought I was going to have the chance to try the Booker’s rye. It’s fantastic. Spicy gingerbread on the nose; sweet on the palate, thick like honey then long minty with citrus finish; and finally the hug where the proof reveals itself. What a great pour! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple hours before dinner and I didn’t want to pour a 2nd else SWMBO would’ve squawked. All the cheeses were good but the bleu cheese was especially good with Bookers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I opened a bottle of Early Times BIB. I have a few others stashed. I don't know if I'll see any more DSP 354 in the wild. The above posts made me consider. This is what I feel like having tonight. I'm not saving it for kingdom come - enjoy it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Did a Stagg Jr. pick with my local and boy am I impressed. Though I would have preferred in person, we picked from samples and dang, all three were great which made it a tough choice. All three were better than the majority of the blended releases I've had (and I'm a fan of those). So balanced and in the 9.5 yr age range. I will be buying my max! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Family adult time. My oldest son swung by and picked up my youngest son when he got back from the casino and they came out for a nice ribeye cookout. My youngest son even cooked the meal. I just sat and enjoyed a few pours of bourbon. Nice adult conversations about work, life, and crazy stuff. When did my kids grow up and where was I? The pour of choice was Four Roses Small Batch Select. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
