Wedelstaedt Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Opened up the WTKS, I picked up this weekend. What I expect from Wild Turkey, balanced, sweet, spicy, good finish. The viscosity just coats the mouth, almost feels like NCF. I sure am happy, I purchased this one. Cheers 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven s Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) 3 different new store picks on tap: these are all over the place. Well, 3 stores, 2 with no limit, one was limit one, but for a great price ($31). Lucky timing for a trip to the big city.

It’s a newer bottling that has the age statement and slightly different printing on the front. The newer and older bottles have the age statement and my name on the back. Biba!

steven s Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 the center one is from a yearish ago. They recently added the age statement to the front. These bottles are about 4 hrs from you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjbarth Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 A Makers PS, from a semi-local. The MM NJ Ambassador was at the store providing samples. It’s good and I bought a case and the store threw in a CEHT SiB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I opened both of these tonight. Damn, these KC with the synthetic corks are hard to open. The screw top on the MM101 was no problem! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screw top on the MM101 was no problem! I see you've had that same problem with those damn KC corks. That's how I end up storing mine--half corked. You just have to make sure to drink it fast enough to avoid that nasty evaporation problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I posted in the wrong thread earlier. I mentioned that I might have a pour of my 2021 Weller Blend even though I don’t have much left. Well, I changed my mind. I decided to have a pour or four of 4. See what I did there. Biba! Joe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Epiphany. Conversion. Learning. Opened a Bakers 7 and Bookers 2021-4 to compare this fine Columbus Day. My father raised us drinking Scotch, Irish whiskey, and wine from the age of 6. Watered in the beginning, of course. We learned to enjoy, to moderate, to balance. I was used to 80 - 90 proof stuff. I did not understand the proof hounds. The proof with some of the bourbons and ryes - it burned us. It burned us. No longer. I am understanding. I liked the Bakers. I loved the Bookers. The viscosity. The deeper flavor. I did not feel the burn. It did not burned us. We loved our Precious. The Bakers, good as it was, felt...watered. Some of the flavor was missing. I did not expect this. Still, umm, digesting. PS: One time, when I was about 10 and my sibling about 6, the Old Man put a champagne label on a non-alcoholic sparkling wine bottle. Told us, most solemnly, about the responsibilities of drinking. Did not put a limit on our "drinking". And to the amusement of all we got quite "drunk". And did what we evidently thought drunk people did, to the entertainment of all. Rolling around on the floor, laughing, etc. It was a good lesson when he informed of us of it....about 8 years later. And so we learn. Edited October 10, 2022 by Anwalt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I cracked open a JM Cigar Blend batch #7 to celebrate the ALDS series win by the Astros today. 18 inning hack fest, but in the end they got it done. On to the ALCS! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Decided to open the bottle of Old Fitz 14yr BIB a little early to celebrate our 14 year Anniversary and our daughters birthday a little early tonight. It was really good and can't wait to have more of it in the coming weeks to celebrate. Cheers everyone! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a great question that I don't have the answer to. I have a bottle or two of more recent batches in my bunker that I purchased locally 2-3 years ago, but I couldn't find them the other day, .... so I just opened this #7 instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last bottle was batch #9 and it was so good that I elevatee to it "special occasion pour" status and it consistently lived up to that billing, in spades! I'm really looking forward to working through this #7 and I hope to have several celebration pours in the very near future. (And even if my sports teams don't come through for me, I'll be enjoying the JMCB one way or another, Lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob_Loblaw Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Opened a few BT to make the first batch of BA cocktails for the holidays. Will give it two weeks and then do a taste test with different bitters before bottling. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Purchased and opened and mixed and drank one rather delightful Manhattan, with a special thanks to Knob Creek Rye. Did not lather, nor did I rinse, but I shall repeat. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
