Neat. Doesn't need ice or water at 45% abv. Tastes like vanilla, oak, butterscotch candies. Typical wheated bourbon flavor profile, not a ton of spice.

I've been putting it on cubes like a dumbass

Did an emergency root canal on a pt on Saturday when he was in some serious pain a month or so ago.

When he cam in for his cleaning he brought me a bottle of Pappy's. Guess I did a good job.

Hey man, if that's how you like it, then drink it that way! There's no right or wrong way.

In my opinion, MM doesn't really need water and doesn't particularly open up when water is added.

$80 each for two 1L bottles. Double MSRP in my area, but WELL below secondary pricing.

It's just money. I'll make more.

Drink it the way you like it. I used to put a large square cube in EVERYTHING.

Now, I drink almost everything neat. Took me a bit to get there.

I'm actually more likely to put a cube in a lower proof like a Blanton's, Eagle Rare or Buffalo Trace and drink my Barrel Proof stuff like Stagg Jr or Old Forester 1920 neat.

I’ve got these two on rotation currently.

Anyone had Makers Private Select?

Nice haul there. Howd you get ahold of the Blantons?

I have a bottle havn't cracked it yet.

Weller 12 has been turning up in Dallas area the past week. Only time I saw it was local stores charging a huge premium ranging from $100 to $180 a bottle. One of my friends even saw some place looking for $175 for some old antique.

Weller prices have gone straight reeruned.

Yep. I know I overpaid for my two bottles at $80, but I was never gonna find it cheaper than that.

Merry Christmas to myself

Oh ****ing shit!

Baller status. You get retail or secondary?
