Thomm Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Buffalo Trace from the fancy decanter. I had been perusing Facebook today and saw where a local retailer recently received what they referred to as a "substantial drop" of BT. An exchange in the comments revealed that the 1.75 ml bottles were selling for $110, and there was only one left. Taking all this into account, I couldn't help but indulge. I feel like a king. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 A couple three pours of MM and MM 101 tonight. MM in the glass, then a nice splash of MM 101 added. It’s been a really busy two or three weeks, and I’ve got at the very least a few more days to go. I’m too lazy to do a precise blend. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavy mouthfeel is really nice. It is quite possible, but not probable, that two of those three bottles will be emptied tonight. I am not sure @smokinjoewill finish that bottle off tonight. My money is on @Skinsfan1311 finishing off his bottle first but not tonight. C'mon guys, time to bring the wives in for a few pours. One thing leads to another. Drinking, then sleep.

If so, he will not be going to work tomorrow. Actually, he has probably put that puppy away and moved on to a.) something else or b.) sleepy time.

The folks are coming to stay for the weekend and I was tasked with cleaning the house while working remote. The wife would not of been happy if she came home from work to a dirty house and me still in bed. After my folks leave on the other hand? I'll probably need what's in there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell your wife she knew what she was getting into when she married you! Does she want you happy or a clean house. Then make a bed on the couch. Excuse me while I turn the tv from the basketball game to a Hallmark Christmas movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Opened a bottle HMcK10 hidden in the back of the cupboard. I love how HMcK10 always surprises. I realize as a single barrel there is variability but I found an occasional bottle over the years that was crazy over the top. I remember one bottle had a significant white pepper profile. It was spectacular. Tonight's bottle hasn't disappointed. On the nose, it has a moderate dark fruit profile. On the pallate, it is oily with a sweet cherry vanilla profile. No hint of oak. Then wait for it, wait for it...a build up of warm heat for a long finish. Almost 5 minutes since I took a sip and blam bla blam, I am still tasting cherry vanilla and feeling the warmth. Very nice! Very reminiscent of Smith Brothers Cherry Lozenges but slightly sweeter and a much more pleasant aftertaste. I wish I could get another bottle. But, it was a one-off since it was allocated at the store where I bought it and it is long gone now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 RY10 in my glass earlier. Technically is Rebel 10yr, but I will not refer to this whiskey as “Rebel” just to appease some nick nack. Very good whiskey, btw. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Lest we not forget…..Tomorrow is BIB day. ”Each year on March 3, we celebrate Bottled in Bond Day, or the anniversary of the Bottled in Bond Act, which was signed in 1897.” Not sure what or, when I’m gonna pour, but I will pour. Tonight and or tomorrow night? Not pictured is my lone remaining HH 6. Too lazy to dig it out of the back of the cabinet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Tried blending Larceny BP with regular Larceny. This pour was two parts BP and one part regular. Pretty good. Tamed the heat of the BP without watering it down. Tried another pour at 50/50 and liked it even better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...you don't want to hurt any feelings so you will need to have a pour of each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
