Kjbarth Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Long night that started late. A group I'm in does a periodic sample share: 4x 1oz or 2oz samples sent randomly to others in the group, this share is each persons favorite 4 bottles/pours from 2021. We're supposed to provide tasting notes and rank from 1 - 4. Today I got 4x 2oz samples that I sampled about 1oz from each, wrote notes, and submitted notes, got to admit, I'm a little stumped. I guess I'm not so good at blind tasting at determining what is in the glass. I think I know what I like, I just think I haven't tried a lot of different whiskeys to be able to get good clues in blind tastes. Good to do, haven't learned anything yet until the reveal. Then had a couple pours of RR13, then opened and had a pour of Belle Meade Reserve. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you have to pay that much for it b. At least it’s a pretty good bourbon you have ready access to. I almost hate to tell you this, but it can usually be found here for $20.00 or a little less. FWIW, I haven’t been keeping up on the currency exchange rate. To be honest, I’m almost afraid to look. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayouredd Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Started with the BOTM; ok but not hitting. Next, an OF Blend which was very good. Now doing a MM101. Needed a couple sips to clear the OF profile but very nice, still... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Been a wheater night so far. Opened with Rebel Yell 10yr, moved to Larceny BP. Both are good, I usually really like the RY10. But tonight, the third bottle did the trick, MM 2020 SE4xPR5. Rich, luxurious whiskey. I wish I had another bottle. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apt43bear Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Went with a fresh pour of Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Batch 26 - really enjoying this especially after the first pour as some of the alcohol blew off. Loads of caramel flavor and a finish that lingered. As a Rams fan, I tried to distract myself the last two weeks but I’m starting to get nervous in anticipation now. This bourbon is going down far too easy in calming the nerves. Might be a painful morning haha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMohawk Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Currently having some Maker's Mark. I'm new to the forum and almost as new to bourbon. I like my bourbon with ice, and a slight drop of water in a nice glass. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always keep one around because it makes the best whiskey sour to be had. I've tried a dozen or so others including MM46 & the standard is the winner of the whiskey sour lotto!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Pre gaming with a recent purchase. Every once in a while, the Dickel profile hits all the right notes, and this is one of those times. I love it when cheap whiskey works! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find that many of us here, including me, started with Maker's and then expanded our search. I don't drink much of the standard version any more but do drink a lot of Maker's 101 now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will have to order online to expand my search, the choice of bourbon seems to be limited here. I'm putting Maker's 101 on my list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSurfer55 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 took some time off for Valentine's day. went back to my old standby Blade and Bow on Sunday. This was the first time that I did not watch a Super Bowl since the first one. Had a good Monday off with the wife. She made some chocolate martinis for us (which were yummy). I finished the day with a revolver (Kahlua and Bulleit). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
