PaulO Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I went back for round two with Cooper's Craft. For the first time in a long time, I made the roundtrip Greenwood to Bloomington, and did not have to detour (I 69 construction). Driving through Martinsville now - so weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Did a blind tasting tonight where you had to pick price point in a $15 range from $10 to $100. I only got 1 (Legent) right. I liked WOODFORD the best. Followed by Calumet 14. Old Elk Wheated was last for me. Blind tasting is humbling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind my asking, how much did that set you back? Is that difficult to find in your neck of the woods? I haven't seen it around here, (Baltimore metro area). I like the standard Larceny and have looked for the BP, admittedly not too hard, but have looked and haven't seen any. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I even struggle to identify a wheated bourbon v. a high rye bourbon. Of the bottles on the shelf, my guess is WR would be my pick.

mbroo5880i Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Stormy night in Central Indiana. We seemed to have lucked out of much of the dangerous stuff that Arkansas, Missouri and our other friends to the South - Southwest had. The storm line is approaching. Temps in the 60s today. Will drop to 35 tonight. Opened a bottle of ECBP C520 that has been sitting in the back of the bunker for awhile. Is this stuff any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it enough that when I came across two more at a different store I went ahead and overpaid at $69 plus tax. The only other time I had ever come across it was about a year ago at a store I had never shopped at and I passed at $100. Last Christmas I received the 2021 "A" release as a gift and I have really enjoyed it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day I made many a trip to Bloomington by various routes. If we went down I 69, we usually stopped at Morgan Monroe State Forest. If we went down 135, we always took a short detour to go see the covered bridge in Bean Blossom. Repeat, always. Biba! Joe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't help but think about the different weather. It's mid to high 80's here in texas this weekend. Summer's almost here already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSurfer55 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I understand I was originally from Louisiana so Spring always came early.
