Two forks and a table cloth, quite fancy!  Did you make your table mate move for the photo?

 

Seriously, great view.  Nice pour!

It was a nice place on vacation in OC

Long hot day at work. 🥵 On the back patio now with a nice pour of ETL. It’s tasting pretty darned good. My palate must be back in working order.  All is well. 🥳

@WhiskeyProposition, glad to see you're enjoying some MHC! I'm actually working on the next batch of it this week. 🥃😜

 

Cheers!

Must be fun!  Can you tell us the process you use to blend this stuff.  Do you start with the older or younger whiskeys?  Do you have a general percentage in mind starting out and work from there?  thanks.

Man, it is hot everywhere!  Indy is the same.  It has been a hot busy week at work.  Time to relax.  Enjoying a nice pour of MM101 while surfing the internet.

My first bottle of this (the new 108 proof version) and I'm really liking it.  Reminds me a lot of Booker's.

It's a great pour! I missed out on the Magnus Cigar Blend yesterday. 😭

Standard Blanton's single barrel for the Hump Day drink.  It was a good middle of the week day, and I thought that called for a good middle of the pack drink.  I like Blanton's, but once this bottle is finished it will be awhile before I open another.  Too many other bottles already opened, and too many that need to be opened and tried before breaking the horsey seal again.

"A"

 

I have never had a desire to gather all the letters, but I have kept some of the toppers in case anyone is looking for one.

On a lark I picked up Mercantile Bourbon.  There's something about it.  I couldn't quite put my finger on it.  Then I figured it out.  It has a certain aspect that reminds me of the grain whisky that goes into some blended Scotch.  It has a honey sweetness combined with corn oil.  Have you ever tried Old Smuggler.

My theory is, this stuff is aged up North in MN.  It doesn't quite get the super hot and humid summers we get in the Ohio Valley.  A different sort of aging.

Finishing up a few of the samples that have been accumulating. This one came from a generous SB’er and is probably the oldest bourbon I’ve ever had. 
 

Has that artificial candy coating nose I associate with older dusty bourbons. Very enjoyable pour to decompress after the drive.

Been away for a bit of time (life gets in the way).  Had recently picked up a bottle of the updated EW 1783.  Good solid bottle.  Not going to set off any fireworks but will do just fine as a daily drinker or for someone who is just getting into bourbon.  On my palate it had a heavier fruit flavor and a smooth finish.

My wonderful wife is home from her last day at work. We’re on the back patio relaxing, and I’m celebrating her retirement with a pour of Pappy 15. 🥳 Only 4 1/2 more weeks and it’s my turn. 😁

Having some MM101 sbs with MMCS. This MMCS has had some air time, and is finally able to keep up with the 101. Still overall prefer the 101, though.

 

I'm seeing MM101 all over around here; did it go into regular rotation, or did they just dump the excess in our region? It never really went away for more than a week or two.

I raise a glass of ORVW to your wife’s retirement.  Good health and fortune to you both! 🥃
