Jazz Nut Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Finished off a 1.75 (family size, lol) Wild Turkey 101. Warming up the palate after a week of fishing Devils Lake, ND (great walleye lakes there)--we fished so much, I didn't even crack an ECBP that I brought along. Good standard bourbon---I know people value WT101 here, but I still think it suffers from a "bottom shelf" reputation, but one of my favorites.

WT101 punches way above its weight class from the bottom shelf, and I'd pick it over just about any craft bourbon on the market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Finished the Lux Row 12. Glad I got more. I really liked this bottle. I do find that I like it more when the glass is poured and then sits for about 30 minutes. Am I the only one? Well, 3 days of bourbon left, and making the most of it. Then we are on a cruise from the 3rd (Cape Canaveral) to the 15th (Lisbon). I won't like their selection and won't pay their prices. Their corkage fees for wine are only $15, so we are taking some along. Then Portugal to Paris from the 15th to the 4th. Lots of drinking, not sure how much will be bourbon. It's hard to substitute for the price & quality of the Home Collection. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I always try to have a Wild Turkey product open at all times. WT101 for QPR can't be beat. There's a certain cinnamon/baking spices I get from WT products, and none other. I'll have to get a new bottle of WT101, wondering how the 2023 batches are tasting? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 I don’t think anyone ever believes me when I say this is one of my favorites. Oh well. Time to go get another one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I'm not heartbroken that it's gone, but I enjoyed the whiskey and will replace it, if the price is right. It still chafes my cheap nuts that JD is putting this in 700ml bottles. After the pic, I added a splash of JD Triple Mash, to make it a decent sized drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 On a roll with culling these tonight. I'm bending the "no alcohol during the week rule, because I took off of work today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp55 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Here are the latest bottles to give their all in my household. A solid group, indeed. Diverse, too. Spanning the spectrum of style and price. But, ALL good ones. Of these, I would describe the BT, ER10, and EW1783 as regular members of my cabinet gang. All great values and very versatile whiskeys. The FRSBS has also become a regular purchase for me; that Four Roses flavor is really distinctive, and sometimes really scratches the itch. The Dickel 15 yr. is a bit more eccentric, and I don't reach for it as often as those previously mentioned. But, I appreciate variety and this one can be "just right" at times. I will rebuy it. The Calumet 10 has been a relatively new discovery for me, and I like it a lot. I have already gone through a couple bottles each of the 15 yr. and the 16 yr., and they are very fine, in my opinion. I was looking for a similar style at a lower price, so tried the 10 yr. Although not at the same level as its more expensive brethren, I do plan on rebuying this one for its relative QPR. Finally, this was my first bottle of the JM Cigar Blend. This one took a little getting used to, to be honest. I was initially unsure how I felt about it, given the relatively high purchase price. By the time I reached the last quarter of the bottle I had become a fan. On a bang-for-the-buck basis, I may still prefer the standard JM, which maintains a regular presence in my cabinet. But, if I can find a good deal on the Cigar Blend, I would certainly like to try a different batch. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Last night I killed the Knob Creek SiB Barrel store pick that was barrelled on my 58th birthday. I have one more in the bunker. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, the 1 liter is a better value. I haven't broken down and bought one yet, but I won't feel as dirty if I pick up the 1 liter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 One down, one to go! Using up a large cube, leftover from an Old Fashioned in my mission to cull bottles from the herd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeySnakes Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 A trio to the bin. BT and JWD good as always. The EC pick at 9yrs was very good. Hopefully there’s more left when I return to the store. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davesnothere Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I finished this one last night. This seemed to get better over the last couple of months. I'm glad I have a couple more in the bunker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
