Not that good you forgot the CYPB.
I can’t afford the cypb or single barrel. Unless you want to contributeNot that good you forgot the CYPB.
I have noticed, without a doubt, that ALL my bottles taste better after being open for at least 2 to 3 weeks. If that is not the neck pour phenomenon then I am mistaken. But I do notice a big difference in flavor after a bottle has been open a few weeks. I am assuming it is because of the extra exposure to oxygen. Anyone else ever notice this?
I was a huge skeptic too, but I’ve definitely noticed this with most bottles
+1Neck pour. No matter what you do, some parts per million level of light hydrocarbon is going to be in your whiskey when bottled. And for the most part, our palates are very sensitive to them and they are foul. The thinking goes, however, that when you open a bottle, they are the first vapors to exit, and they are, but it takes some open time, or some head space in the bottle, for that to take place. I had a Michter rye that was just nasty. Drank some a few weeks later and it was great. Call me a believer.
+1
I wasn't a believer tbh, but after re-tasting a few bottles again after opening and trying last week, i'm on board lol

How much for the Private Selection Maker's Mark? It's $70 for my grocery store's barrel (~236 bottles or so, all numbered and labeled).
So friggin cool! This looks like a blast. Btw, what color is that green chip?

Lime green!? I’ve never seen that color solid for sale? Very nice. Oooh I wanna guess what you’re drinking hahaLime green.
Starting off strong. #1 is very good. Very sweet on the nose to me. Lots of caramel and toasted sweet flavor. Finish saves it from being too sweet. Not a ton of heat, but no slouch either. Maybe around 100 proof is my guess. Solid pour. Would buy it... whatever it is
And you never will! Jk - just not many of them out there that people are willing to let go..Lime green!? I’ve never seen that color solid for sale? Very nice. Oooh I wanna guess what you’re drinking haha
