Just finished this one. Really awesome bottle and would love to find another if it's at a decent price.

I've not had this one. I have Redbreast 12 and it is so smooth.

Can confirm Smoke Wagon is delicious.

I don’t mean to have my knickers in a twist (again), but with all due respect, “neck pour” is not a thing. The whiskey isn’t trapped up there, it mingles throughout the bottle.

It's the strongest sip in the bottle. As the bottle ages alcohol starts to evaporate. That's one reason the last 1/3rd in some whiskeys get so good.....less strong more flavor.

That's a Unicorn around here. Saw just the regular once about 2 years ago. Don't know if it is because it gets snapped up or just doesn't come here.
While the “neck pour” is physically incorrect, whiskeys do tend to open up as they get exposed to oxygen in the bottle, just like wine does but much more slowly and subtly. I often find barrel proof bottles a little hot an astringent for the first 2-3 pours or weeks, that then soften and round out spectacularly.

Didn’t alcohol evaporate in the super porous wooden barrels over all those years?

Water is the smaller molecule. It escapes more frequently from a barrel. So the barrel level goes down, and the proof goes up up up! How much air/oxygen gets exchanged into the barrels as they age? Who knows. But I've had enough "first pours" from bottles that were very different from subsequent pours from the same bottle that I know SOMETHING occurs after a bottle is opened. I think Mash & Drum did an experiment on this, but I forget what his conclusions were.

I had been using my bottle of Bonded for Jack+Coke until I saw that article, didn't even think to try it straight up!Whiskey Advocate’s Whiskey of the Year.

Fusion #3 won the prize and is open now. It’s good. Interesting that this blend is 40 percent 13-year Kentucky high rye bourbon. That is quite a lot of old juice in there.
First time trying this drink and just poured myself a dram. Let it sit for 45 minutes and it’s delicious!

This stuff is so marked up over here I'd rather just drink something else instead of going through the aggravation. Really wish it weren't so hard to get. Delicious stuff, I'm jealous!

Merry Festivus, indeed! Three bottles of MWND at $20 below MSRP, each!
I just might need one of those, Elliott!

Says Lawrenceburg IN. but Ross and Squibb distillery.
MGP is now Ross and Squibb. I always forget it changed.
