Straight up bubble gum for me on the SH. Still on the 16. Sugar, like off the 1987 McGwire card I got as a kid

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.

So… about that EHT BP you wanted to trade for…

Hahahahaha

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?

Always nice when a guest shows up for poker bearing gifts!

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

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

 

[Highli99]

Don't know if this is good but local store keeper recommended it to me so giving a shot.

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.

 

[FDLmold]

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.

Mine was a neck pour too, I’m diving back in now as well.
