I've had similar effects with their standard rye. Might be my favorite sub-$50 bottle.

Damn. I am a hater of all things Michter except the 10 year bourbon. I also don't like EHT. I'll head off to the unpopular opinions thread.

Obligatory whiskey pic. One open I am aggressively trying to kill, Templeton 13 year rye. I took a break after returning from New England, this is a nice one to return with.

I meant to open a couple of drams Stabby gave me, but forgot. My hand blindly stumbled over to this Subtle Spirits 12 year rye, IN distillate.

Still early over there!

(And also here!)

One more and done. Nulu bourbon finished in maple brulée barrels. These are ex-bourbon barrels that aged maple syrup, that were then charred again.

This is insanely good. It's IN distillate, but the finishing makes it so different from the usual MGP profile.

Hell yeah.. batch 5 10yr is a banger, and I’ve started to enjoy the 14 more after opening! Enjoy!

Birthday gift from a buddy, Batch 3 which I hadn’t tried. It’s better than 1 and 2 for sure. I don’t find many BF bottles to be worth the costs.. this does kind of remind me a JD14 in terms of oak and the fruit, but way more cherry and some sweet frosting mingle in. This feels older than 12 but bottle says 12-18 years blended in there so makes sense.


It’s solid, maybe just not my go to profile, will see how it opens up.

Recently I popped into a local grocery store while waiting for the girlfriend to finish shopping and casually snagged a couple bottles of Blantons on sale. Glad things are a bit better these days.
