About an hour from MGP and just over the imaginary line from a host of legacy distillers, this distillery is in the right place at the right time. Didn't know the distro was so spotty; its stacked deep here in CT. I give it a "buy on sight" recommendation. Prost! Headed there (starlight) for the first time next week! I have no experience with them so looking forward to trying something new. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought wheat whiskey was a wheated bourbon but I was just wrong. Was told to try Bernheim and then go from there. Also saw a MM I've never seen before so I said why not. That looks like Maker's 46 in a regular bottle? Maybe they're out of the premium bottles, or are now saving them for their premium releases.

BetweenPipes33 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I was out and about and picked up the MM 46 French Oak as well. I will be interested in the flavor of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pleasantly surprised from the offerings from Luxco despite the younger age, drinks much older and smoother for their higher proof offerings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if you’re a home cocktail person, but if so and you don’t happen to like it neat, give it a go in a cocktail. Wow , you weren't kidding. Drinking WRDO with Seagrams Ginger Ale (would rather Canada Dry but unable to find it down here), and the wood punches right through and takes this average cocktail up another whole level. Thanks for the recommendation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm a little jaded (see what I did there?). Ian Chang (former Kavalan Master Distiller) is a buddy of mine. The young lady was his North American Distributor Rep - must have had a few drinks that night ( can't remember her name).

LvR Mike Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 My local store likes to push this Chestnut Farms BiB so I'm going to give it a try. Also, picked up the newer packaged MM46 recently so I wanted to get the MM46CS in the older bottle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Not today, but picked up a Benchmark Bonded this weekend. Initial sip is reminding me just how $%^&#*$ much I'm missing HH6yrBIB (but it does well enough in an Old Fashioned on a Tuesday!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried EW 1783 since HH rebooted the brand 90 proof and new package. I used to be a regular customer for the HH6yrBIB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
