Grabbed this on a random brown water hunt after I saw at least one surly member vouch for it. 

Did you paste Barbi fingernails on your toes?

What I do in my own home is none of your concern, sir.

Welcome back from your hiatus! I haven’t ventured into the 1792 line. It good? Got lucky and got a 1910 a couple weeks back but saving it for special occasion

1792 Full Proof is a marshmallow bomb, but it’s really good.

I"m not a huge fan of the 1792 in general, but the hype around this year's full proof is crazy, so I figured why not. I'll post notes when I get to it. 

 

Also - try that 1910. It's so, so good.

My last pour of 1910 had a huge banana nose. Still digging it.

[Neonmoon 38,129]

The 1910 is one of my favorite daily drinkers. (when I can find it)

[Chewbacca 7,780]

MWND has landed (in Denver, at least).  Managed to snag 2 out of the box that hadn't even made it on to the shelves yet.  Act 7, Scene 2.

[Neonmoon 38,129]

MWND taste like Christmas to me 

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Any Full Proof sightings / updates?

1792? I've got it but haven't had a chance to take a run at it yet. Purchased at Total Wine.

Think he's referring to Weller FP.

Had to crack it open last night.  And yes, it still does taste like Christmas.

KO confiscated worth $120??

[Longhornfan1024 1,707]

My wife surprised me with a bottle of Blanton's for my birthday.  So yeah, good times.

She got a sister? Looking to trade mine in since she came home a couple months back with a “limited edition” TX bourbon and some horrid 2year old stuff called 1920 out of Mansfield.

Hell I should pm your wife on FB and tell her to go into your bunker and grab a couple of blanton's, w12's, and OWA's while you are gone and put them on the counter to surprise you.  
:)

[thrillhammer 684]

confiscated is sourced, as is mwnd.  i'm off of all ndp for now.  i understand not all craft bourbon is great, just like not all ndp is crap, but i just don't respect the process enough to support it at the moment.  it helps to have enough bottles in my collection to be choosy as to what i buy next.

[BigDHornfan 6,549]

Could be wrong, but I believe MWND is now their own stuff.  They stopped sourcing it with last years.

I believe you are correct.  Or at least mostly correct.  They might still have some sourced stuff in the mix.  But it's damn good.  I don't give a shit where it comes from.  I care what it tastes like.

Ya know your friends have been well cultivated when they spring for one of the big boy, economy size, ER's for your birthday present.  Bastard expects to help me drink it !!

Very, very clever

It showed up at my friend’s bar (Roswell, GA). I need to get up there and try it.

[Party_Taco 3,742]

Cracked open the Old Forester Rye for the first time the other evening and it did not disappoint. For that price, it’s absolutely sliding into the daily drinker category.

[Jimbaround 975]

Good haul today.

[Party_Taco 3,742]

What is that CYPB?!

[Neonmoon 38,129]

Those Cheeto Puffs are legit. Respect

Create your perfect bourbon. A delicious gimmick.

No OFBB here but added a couple 1910s. Totally cracking one open tonight. Possibly earlier if we shit the bed against TCU

I’m cracking one myself today.  Time will depend of Herman’s ball gargling 

[brown water 3,778]

Recent acquisitions 

ECBP 2x

1910 2x

Dovetail

1792 Full Proof

1792 Sweet Wheat

Sagamore Port Finish - Hot take. This is a reasonable substitute for MWND at just over half the price, maybe better outright. This from someone who wanted to pull against all things sagamore   

 

[BigDHornfan 6,549]

Good haul today.

Wanna trade that BB?

[billfromlaketravis 11,519]

I think we’re all going to need something high proof after whatever that was in Fort Worth. 

[Jimbaround 975]

Not really, but maybe. PM me with some ideas.

Picked up an EHTBP for the first time ever two weeks ago.  Tried it semi-blind with an ‘18 GTS and Stagg Jr batch 9 tonight and I liked it best.  Crazy good bourbon for $81 retail.  

[Dutchrudder 11,141]

Yeah I had a bottle of Stagg Jr batch 9 that I finished a few weeks ago, and I miss it. I have two other Stagg jrs, but they just aren't the same
