Finally someone who doesn’t automatically give Caymus a 9.6-10.0 score. Way too extracted & overly sweet

@Paul T- Huntington Beach Yes, it’s not up our alley. We used to like it but haven’t liked it much since the 40th Anniversary release. It is still a crowd-pleaser for those who are not too particular about wine. We still have several liters in our stock, so we take it when getting together with friends who may not appreciate our nicer wine😉

The more I circle back on this the more I like it. Sweet corn caramelized in brown sugar reduction with a tantalizing, pungent aroma that puts the “sour” in sour mash. Really delightful dram. — a month ago

A really good bourbon that exudes balance and approachability. Plenty of complexity to keep more advanced drinkers engaged while also offering a wide array of pleasant aromas and tasting notes that draws in the newcomers and intermediates. — a month ago

After many years of using Delectable, building my archives of tasting notes and, most importantly, meeting some awesome folks, I’ve decided to call it quits 🥂 I thought this 2016 magnum was a fitting bottle to pop for such a parting. I also thought Bilbo Baggins’ words were fitting, as well:

“I regret to announce this is the end. I'm going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. Goodbye."

Not as complex as I’d like but still good considering the price point. Charred oak, wintery spices, brown sugar. — a month ago

So true, @Shay A I’d say DFW area is probably the no. 1 or 2 spot we’d choose if we ever do move (within Texas, that is). Happy New Year, my friend.

Happy NYE@Ryan Vento What's the letter on the last leg? You can collect them all to spell Blanton's... I don't have a complete collection yet... Takes time.

Happy New Year! I’ve only collected two letters so far. It does take time, that’s for sure. I’ve finally made some connections where I can locate it easily for a fair price. Hopefully I can complete the set next year.

In ~8y I've collected 'L' 'O' & 'N' by just casual purchases, and trust me, I'm looking in advance for the other letters, it'll be more of a challenge than you know. But it's well worth the search.

Deceivingly sweet on the nose as I found the palate to be a bit spicier and earthier than I initially thought it would be. Still, quite delicious 🥃 — a month ago
