PaulO Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 For the start of Spring Break I opened and poured some Maker's Mark 101. Don't tell the taters. This stuff is good.  I'm so not worried about unicorns.  10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go wrong with MM101. Working on some Woodinville right now. This one is a cherry cola bomb! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUfan99 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 8.5 yr RR warehouse A 4th floor pick that tastes like EC18. Needs some ice to tame the wood but it’s good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) It's a grey day in Ocean City, but the air is still and the surf choppy.  Perfect for a walkabout and I ran into this dude guarding a beach house.  Baxter and I are out on the deck, the latter with a glass of JD Single Barrel Select.  This is grey day bourbon, all vanilla and ash.

Working on some Woodinville right now. This one is a cherry cola bomb!   I have had only one private selection barrel proof. Big Red in Indy. It was a little expensive for a cheap bastard but I did get it at 20% off, so around $64.  It was stellar. I like the regular 90 proof. I have also had the port finish. I would love it if they would release a BIB for $30.  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I have been posting nonsensical ...ish all night so obviously I have only been drinking Diet Coke.   OK, I have had 3 smallish pours of WT101. I don't believe I will have a 4th unless...  No, I really won't. I have to get up early to finish a paint job.  Meanwhile, @GeeTen has probably robbed his vault of pours that the common man can only dream off.  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Took one for the team tonight and got that dreaded neck pour out of the way. Please pardon the inconsistency between beverage and glassware. I just love these Four Roses roly polys. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to like whiskey with a meal but, (with the exception of a nice steak), I don't. Edited March 26, 2023 by Skinsfan1311 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) An oldie but goodie. A little hot but still delicious. It's the first time I've fired up the Hasty-Bake since Covid. Took a little WD40 to get the coal bed moving but I think there's still life in it. Looking at Argentine chorizo and morcilla for dinner.  Edited March 26, 2023 by scratchline 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Last pour of the day.

That's it! Resolved! This year's July trip we shall stop and, at the very least, buy a bottle or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
