The Kentucky Tea, Brian? I'm curious to hear your thoughts after Sunday, I've heard good things from a few friends.

I’ve been looking for the 2022 Maker’s Mark wood finishing series bottles. Thursday a friend tells me that one of our local stores got a case of each. By the time I got there it was gone, but they had a bottle of each at their bar for pours. Decided I would buy 02 if I found it at retail, but pass on 01.
Half hour later I’m a little early for bowling so I pop into a store out near the alley. Damned if they didn’t have a few 02s.
Last night had some of my previous favorite, FAE-02 from 2021.

Great weekend of wine and spirits.
The midwinters night dram was a disappointment and I’ll probably look at selling it as we only had a very small pour out of it.
The bookers was amazing! Very heavy caramel and vanilla with a very pleasant mouth feel.
Then we finished with KC18 which wasn’t as complex as the Bookers, but was smoother at the 100 proof it is.
Tonight I cracked the first of 2 bottles of the Old Forester king ranch bottles the boss got me. While only a small pour, the bottle has some potential. I’m going to really enjoy it I believe.

@brianc636 , I had heard that the new Midwinter's Nights Dram was disappointing, especially at its new $160 MSRP. Better news on the Booker's, was it 22-03, Brian?

When the kid shows up with whiskey I drink some. I don't know if this is good stuff or not, but it tasted like whiskey.

Good news, Brian, hoping it arrives in Chicago soon. Actually drove to 8 or 9 stores yesterday looking.
I'm enjoying it. I tend to like most of their picks though. We went through a bottle of Journeyman at the UF-4 event that was really good too.
Thoughts? I'd love to try that one but it would be a lot of work from Illinois.
