mbroo5880i Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 On the deck tonight, hoping to see the northern lights. Extremely windy today but calm now. Neighbors are all in their yards. Bonfires, parties, alcohol. Next door neighbor's son is having a sleepover. His uncle installed a new basketball goal today. The sound of young kids playing basketball takes me back to when my sons were younger. Started with WTR101, finishing with HH7. We are cranking AC/DC on our stereo. I feel overconsumption on the horizon. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 Weller CYPB in my glass tonight. It's one of my favorites in the Weller line and it gets overlooked due to the medium proof I guess. I don't believe I'll be climbing the "Weller ladder" tonight, but I might bump it up a notch to WFP here in a little bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 And Weller Full Proof it is. Tonight anyway, the CYPB has my vote over the WFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 The Weller was nice, but I had a hankering for some good MGP. My palate isn't at its best tonight, so I'll save my SAOS 10 year SiB for another day. I grabbed the Belle Meade Reserve 108.3 proof instead and it doesn't disappoint. This is a super solid MGP bottling. It was very underrated when it was on the shelves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone tried the new Nelson Brothers Reserve (replacement for Belle Meade)? I have not tried it yet. For curiosity I just did a quick MGP SBS between the Belle Meade Reserve vs Remus Repeal batch #6. The Belle Meade wins easily. I have not been impressed by the Remus Repeal #6. The earlier versions were much, Much, MUCH better. Because of my underwhelming experience with RR6, I passed on batch #7 when it came out. Curious about Nelson Bros. Reserve though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 Another nice Spring evening in Indiana. Lots of yard work. Too much, if you ask me but it made my wife happy. Finished off a bottle of HH7. It is a very enjoyable bourbon. Next up, WTR 101 while watch Home Town on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grady330 Posted May 13, 2024 Share Posted May 13, 2024 Yesterday was James Pepper, Doc Swinson and a New Riff. Not everyday brands but damn good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosmith Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 Last evening by the fire pit with my wife enjoying a nice pour of regular Larceny - lots of nice caramel sweetness. This seems to get hate from a lot of people but, for me, it really hits the spot sometimes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 Took off of work today to play in a golf tournament. The Capitals are one of the sponsors and they had a "Happy Gilmore" style putting contest, where you putted with a hockey stick. I sank the putt and won this. A great excuse to have a weekday drink 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUfan99 Posted May 15, 2024 Share Posted May 15, 2024 PSA: if you’re thinking of getting a bottle of JB SiB in hopes of finding a value high proof better than average bourbon just buy a WT 101. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to get hate from a lot of people but, for me, it really hits the spot sometimes. I agree -- it's better than it gets credit for. I find it's funny how the BP version gets a significant amount of love from the tater community, but the same people turn their noses up at the regular version. Says more about people than it does the whiskey. Similar situation with ECBP vs EC94 and WSR vs OWA, but even more so. I also find it funny when taters chase RR13 to no end (and pay hundreds of dollars for a bottle) when they don't even drink WT101 (and in many cases have never even purchased WT101 ever).

Kepler Posted May 17, 2024 Share Posted May 17, 2024 (edited) Remus Repeal VI tonight. I wanted some MGP tonight after a long-ish week at work, and since I'm in a bottle clearing mode, this Remus 6 gets the nod. This is a meh bottle I won't be replacing so it goes into my "daily drinker" category now. When I look at this way (instead it being a $91 bottle like I actually paid for it), it's actually a pretty decent pour.
