Quoted from djreddog:I’m good with whatever. Thanks!
I apologize, @djreddog. I got there today and they had allocated this Makers release. They did not have any out on the shelf at all and would not sell me another. I will stay on the lookout for you.

All good. Thank you!
Forgot to post the Smoke Wagon dinner we were invited too a few weeks ago, my first time trying the Wagon. Came home with a few new bottles in the raffle.

I picked up a couple bottles of that Yellowstone for a couple friends... I just cannot get into a finished bourbon.

I wish I would get invited to a Smoke Wagon dinner party
Quoted from kcZ:Next up.
Binnys pick I was not a fan of this the first couple pours but I'm liking it tonight. Complex, not sure of all the flavors I'm getting.
I recall this being hot but I'm not noticing much heat tonght.

That Peerless is one of my favorites.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:That Peerless is one of my favorites.
Yes it is....just don’t drink too much of it.
Quoted from Jgel:Doing a tasting all day.
Here is round 1. [quoted image]
That’s a hell of a round 1!
We are doing each round as a blind tasting to determine what we like best. Pretty interesting so far.
Quoted from Chisox:Here’s to a great night! Went to a concert in a parking lot to see some great punk bands AND the Rays finally took care of business. Cheers![quoted image]
I'm in for a Russell's pick. I just lost a bottle bet with a co-worker on that boxing match, not even mad though, it was a fun fight to watch.

Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I got a need and a fever..[quoted image]
Just not enough cow bell.
Quoted from Fulltilt:It's not bourbon but it's from a bourbon guy.
Julio 1942 and blackened COHO.
Good stuff.

I'm going after Coho and Kings this week in the Pac Northwest. I'm hoping to recreate this picture when I get back. Cast iron too of course.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Just a little something before the end of the weekend

How is Johnny Drum? I've seen it on a few shelves but have passed
Quoted from Jaeg:Was happy to come across this store pick of Buffalo Trace at a reasonable price.
[quoted image]
Hope you got your two!
Quoted from djreddog:Anybody need anything?[quoted image]
A hammer, to beat some sense into whoever put the prices on those bottles.
Quoted from djreddog:Anybody need anything?[quoted image]
That JW Blue at $219 is looking like the best deal

Wow $33 for a 750 of BT - and it’s “reasonable”. 3 years ago I was buying handles of Weller SR for $23. Can we restart the flavored vodka hype yet? I’m all in for some orange cream strawberry pickle vodka by Smirnoff. Go buy some now!
Happy Maker’s Monday! Been looking forward to trying this bottle. My quick thoughts;
Initially, pretty hot, but mellows out pretty quickly. Lots of vanilla and cinnamon, with a pretty short finish. I later added an ice cube and that really opened it up some. As I was telling Hilton, I think it is almost a dessert type bourbon and would be kickass with a s’more. Solid bourbon, but I think it is behind RC6 from last year. That could be more that RC6 was just a tremendous bourbon for what I like.
Look forward to trying again in a week or so after it opens up some more.

Thanks for the review. I think I saw that at our Costco, guess I’ll have to get a bottle if they still have it

So is it in the buy again or pass category?
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:So is it in the buy again or pass category?
Honestly, I don’t know yet. I am going to wait to let it open up some more.

I got to try it last week and will be passing on this one. There are stores around here with Maker's barrel picks that are way better, and in all honesty I'd take a bottle of regular Maker's Cask Strength over this year's Limited. It's good, but nowhere near as good as RC6 in my opinion. It's also starting to pile up here. It seems to be sitting pretty much untouched, so if I change my mind I have no doubt I can grab one. Total Wine has moved it from the "1 per customer" case to the shelf with all the other Maker's products.
Ok all you guys in the tasting group I just got them all sent out. Should be showing up in the mail here by saturday.
Quick question to fellow bourbon heads that have access to OWA, what's a reasonable price for it? There's no way I can find it in PNW, so I'm at the mercy of trying to find it online at amplified prices. So trying to understand what's a reasonable premium for that (if any), thank you in advance

How much are you finding it for online?
