Hail to The Cult ! ;-)) Cheers Mr. Wedelroser, You have inspired me to crack open a 2016 SmBLE. I have been sipping on some recent 100 proof single barrels and older gold neck SBBS. Love the 4R.

Personally, it would be a tough bottle to crack open for me. I'm not a collector nor a hoarder, but that bottle seems like it would almost be better closed than it would be a drinker. But eventually I guess my curiosity would make me want to open it and taste it, so I definitely understand. How does it taste? ... like diluted regular MM I assume? It’s really nice, very drinkable since most of my pours are in the 100-105 range (sometimes diluted to that range). It’s been so long that the novelty of the bottle has worn off. I’m kind of getting that way with most of my collection - time to start consuming instead of collecting Edited February 15 by jvd99 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Rebel Cask Strength store pick my local monger convinced me to try after I had mentioned I approved of his last Knob Creek pick. I could swear this is Larceny Barrel Proof in a different bottle. I will return to this another night and see if my impressions change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression was that the Rebel Yell 10 year single barrels were made by Heaven Hill. I'm not sure about the newer younger Rebel CS 5-6 year juice however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, it is gone. I do believe I have a backup, I hope so anyway. Hail to The Cult Cheers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Started with some Stagg 22a but it was just a hot mess for me last night. I compared it to a sip of Benchmark FP and the latter was better but still not hitting it so I had a couple of pours from my blend of 60% Eagle Rare and 40% BM FP and that worked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I know it’s 3 buddies who had a knack for picking good barrels and they turned it into a business. I am nowhere near an expert. But it tastes good and it’s sold at a fair price.

On 2/13/2025 at 6:22 PM, jvd99 said: Remember when MM cut its ABV down to 42% and everyone got bent out of shape and they quickly changed it back to 45%? I bought one of those 42% bottles years ago and found it in the back of the bunker just the other day. It's a novelty for sure, but not worth the space at this point, so its being consumed quite quickly... Consumed, the key word here...

Didn't have the SFTB, but did the filets yesterday, with a RR Pick or ET. Can't remember which but had both just the same... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Finally got this the Smokeye in. It is good. Young, but not obnoxiously so. Sweet, oh so sweet. But more oak and complexity than I expected for a five year. Intense, better in little sippy sips, drank below the 134 proof. Great mouthfeel & viscosity. I ordered several more from K&L last night. 80 bucks + shipping. I've gotten to buying wine from them (especially 2021 Cabs), so the shipping isn't too bad. I ship to my daughter in NC, shipping to PR is Not Recommended. A Stagg Killer, as touted in some quarters? Not if the Stagg in question is GTS. But I did like it more than most of the Stagg Jr's I've tried. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only gonna have about 2" from this snow, but my buddy in southern MO is supposed to get about a foot or so. I'm having some Rare Breed while sitting by the fire this evening now that the kids are in bed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 After a bit of an absence, the Weller Whore in me resurfaced tonight. I had a heathy pour of Weller SR. Last of the bottle. I followed that up with a nice pour of Weller 12. Also the last of the bottle. Hmmmmm. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like the weight of the topper too. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
