Great note! I found the bubblegum note as well! Nice catch

Oh yes. I get that now! Like the gum from a pack of Topps cards. Nostalgia for sure.

You son of a bitch! I’m guessing you didn’t pay much more than retail either.
Very nice.
Clearly from the same family. Both have good spice from start to finish. Both are also quite oaked (but balanced) with a drying finish.
For me, the Calumet 16 is a bit more sour. So I give the nod to SH15. But it’s close, and I could flip next time.

I mean, any basic dilettante could grossly overpay, right?
I’m picking the SH15 on aftertaste alone. The Calumet 16 has that bitter oaky aftertaste that’s a tad off putting. I get that with my Elijah Craig 18 year as well.
All that being said, these are two phenomenal whiskies and I’m lucky to be in a position to nitpick them

I need better friends.
Brotha, SH15 kind of won on the nose...but Calumet 16 overtook. Then 15, then 16, then 15...........and it's 16 by a palate and finish. Lol
Calumet 16 wins barely...both are great.
As I finish the SH15, I keep getting more and more cherry. And I love cherry.

Nice! That’s been on my list for some time. The Weller CYPB is meh, over-priced and overrated, but this one is :chefs kiss:.

One of my favorites at 30 bucks. I haven't seen it locally in about 6 months
let me know cause I get facebook ads for it constantly
My first reaction is unsure. I don't trust the neck pour. I'm trying to tease out th flavors but they don't seem fully developed. It's not bad but I'm not getting a wow reaction either I get from bottles I love.

Any sign yet of this year's Maker's Wood Finishing Series bottles? They must be skunky if the plan is to release 2 per year and it's almost September and there are zero.
Revisiting the SH15 right now. It WAS a neck pour last night. I have a feeling once this bottle is 2 weeks old, I will flip my statement.
