lemonman Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Picked up another KCSiB PS today, same barrel I cracked recently. Also a 1.75L of MM on sale, which I plan to blend with a MMCS I'm not in love with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomLamb Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I’m floored at how many people seem to hate MMCS but love MM101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjbarth Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Replaced my 4RYL handle and a WTKS that I haven’t tried yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t normally keep MM in my house and still haven’t tried MM101. Looks like I’ll need to finally grab a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam777 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Here are my summer pickups. Surprisingly to me the Dickel was great for $45. I popped open the OF last week or the week before and it was hot as hell but I tried some last night and it is settling in nicely. Never tried the Michters but very excited. All retail besides the full proof non store pick. Over paid but has to complete the weller collection. Of course without CYPB and the new SiB. Cheers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Remus #5 came out here this week. I’ve liked all the previous releases, but this is the first one I’ve purchased. The specs looked good, a reviewer who’s palate I respect really liked it, and it was $10 under msrp. Winner? Hopefully! Happy Friday y’all! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Nice pick ups. Where in Florida do you live? My wife and I used to visit friends near Ft. Meyers fairly often. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richdel Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Went shopping after work today, hit a couple of my favorite LS, and came up empty. Nothing seemed to yell at me, "take me home!". My last stop before home, and I found something I didn't know I was looking for. Might have overpaid, but I am happy to have it. May need to empty a few bottles in the cabinet so it stays upstairs instead of heading to the bunker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Cheap Bastard found a whole shelf of KC9 for $22.99 on sale. I grabbed a bottle while waiting on my pizza at the local pizza shop. This store is part of a larger chain but this isn't a heavily shopped store from a bourbon perspective so I feel safe that I go back and grab more before the sale ends. I don't mind just grabbing a bottle here and there to add to the bunker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK, I like both and buy both. But, I find the proof and complexity of MM101 hits my sweet spot. MM101, WT101, KC100, OF100.... I also find a little more variability in MMCS depending on the batch. A few batches seemed really hot and were difficult to tame while other batches were stellar and you dare not add more than a wee, small, tiny, negligible drop of water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, solid pick ups. Almost unicorn status in my area these days. I don't believe I have seen any of these on the shelf in more than 3 years in Indy.

The only release I tried. I ended up with two bottles. I would to hear your opinion since it might show up in my area in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
