Blind tasting of mint julips at the Brazos Valley Bourbon Society derby party. The Woodford was my favorite.

I recently finished a 2011 Mariage and I'll take that all day every day over 120th and 125h. Hell, I prefer 2012 and 2014 Lesmb to the 120 and 125th.

That's good news as I still have a 2014 LESmB tucked away. That has been the one I haven't opened yet, while BTAC Has came and went. Might save that one until the ags win a natty

Found the 2021 release of the Makers wood finishing series. Anyone tried it?

There were multiple on the shelf at Specs in Cypress.

Its hilarious to me that these are still on some shelves while people are paying $200 for w12

It's my favorite of theirs so far. I really enjoyed the 2020 and still have a backup of that, but the 2021 has some interesting fruit notes that you don't generally get from Makers. Definitely a big change from the big caramel/vanilla in the 2020. Absolutely worth picking up.

I'm DFW. Went looking when someone here last posted about it but none were found.

I have one from a Specs in Allen several weeks ago.

On the Specs page, it shows to be available in the Dallas area.

But TW does not show any around Dallas, so the Specs site might be out of date

Has anyone here ever done an infinity bottle before?

Mine is 3/4 full with only single barrel/high level offerings.

Yes, just slightly less great than the 2020 version. And both are freaking wonderful.

Doing several now. One is all Knob Creek SRs, 12s, a 15 and such. Another has a number of Bookers batches in it. The big one has all kinds of pours in it. That one has some life moment pours in it, so it means a lot to me.

I am going to do one or two. A really cool concept.

You can find the last discussion of infinity bottles back somewhere around page 470

I have not, but do have a bottle of this. Does it count?

I've got an infinity bottle going. Been occasionally adding to it over the last couple years. Right now, it is not good.

Never done an Infinity bottle, but I blend whiskeys at home all the time. Often by the individual glass. And the result almost always punches way above it's weght class. Don't be afraid to try it.

I ordered a box of boston round sample bottles a while back, and I have been saving the last 2-3 ounces from bottles I have really enjoyed for sampling later. The idea being to clear space, and also to move it to a bottle with less air stashed up in the cabinet.

Anyway, I find that I don't want to drink them. Not because I don't want to drink them, but because I don't want to not have the option to drink them, if that makes sense. Silly, I know. Anyway, I'm staring to wonder if I should just dump them all in a decanter, sampling along the way, and let those bottles live forever that way.

I got a George Dickel 15 year today!

I bought one tonight. I have seen them everywhere and did not buy into the hype. It is really good. I would not buy a 2nd but I am glad I bought 1. Does not drink its' proof.

There is no hype. If there was hype they would have been allocated from the beginning

I have seen the offered for stupid trades here. It has slowed down since they keep showing up on the shelves.
