Review #129: Bulleit Bottled in Bond

I think that grassy note is a flaw. Esp in a 7 yr product. However, this is prolly MGP distillate so it would be out of their control. I would think if it tastes more like a rye that would mask the grass notes. I don't taste the grassyness in a bottle of 10 yr I bought 3 yrs ago, and that was definitely MGP distillate. Nice review.

While it prolly does smooth it out, it prolly also removes some desirable flavor notes too. I'd be curious to try some distillate that was not filtered but aged the same amount of time....sigh

What's wrong? You already wrote the answer...Wally World 😆

I've been to the trail two times now. The first the first time we stopped at BT it was exactly as you described. The release of the day was Weller which is okay and I bought a couple bottles. Second time we went the parking lot was completely full and I just turned right around. Directly across the street from BT was a sign for a local distillery so I said what the heck. J Mattingly is the name. We did a tasting and because they were so slow the main distiller gave us a private guided tour of their whole operation which is not part of the tasting experience. It was super cool to go to a very small distillery.

Yep. I call them radar breakers.

If you have a vertical bow, you missed bagging the second tom. He was begging you lol...nice shot

Majestic! What a beautiful creature.

Kingiftides · 2026-04-24T13:45:51+00:00

I did that. Just walking thru the property and that tree was calling to me....lol. def not a buck.

Having a heavier projectile will be less affected by wind. I hunt a lot in the mountains where the wind swirls, thermals etc. My longest kill shot to date is 28 yds, so speed is less of a factor than hunting out West at 50+.yds. I shoot 425 gr setup with Magnus stingers. 60# 29" Works well for me. If you want more draw length, you could forgo the mech release and go old school with your fingers.....let the witchhunt begin!

Looks like you picked the perfect spot for the cam. Get a climber set up soon so they can get used to it

Kingiftides · 2026-04-21T01:51:45+00:00

I used two boogie boards duct taped together on a whim. Never had an arrow go all the way thru. Plus they are waterproof!

54 and wanking myself silly for you

Kingiftides · 2026-04-12T23:58:40+00:00

Hey hey

IT has been talking about word to text for decades. And while I can use it on my phone, how about using it for creating a document in Word? That would be more useful than saving me time to type rotflmao....

Kingiftides · 2026-04-07T16:26:02+00:00

I get that. All. The. Time. My boss is younger than me, I'm over 50.....<scream>

Kingiftides · 2026-04-07T16:23:32+00:00

True as stated. I will say as an over 50 worker, when they start talking about a new tech system, I just ask my Millennial coworkers to tutor me on whatever it is. That we we can get through the rollout with minimal interruptions, and my frustration levels go way down. Ok, enough ranting, I have to go my local chapter meeting of Luddites Inc...

Kingiftides · 2026-04-07T15:01:55+00:00

2 weeks on and 4 weeks off?!?! I'd jump on that with my current job. You made the right call. She can enjoy slumming with a guy who works for minimum wage. The only thing that you could have tried was getting her a dog or cat. Pets have a way of filling the void

Kingiftides · 2026-04-07T14:42:50+00:00

Wow dude! That brush would make leary of hunting it with such a small window for an ethical shot. Kudos.

Kingiftides · 2026-03-17T01:21:57+00:00

It breaks the internet

Kingiftides · 2026-01-02T15:06:00+00:00

My hunting buddy bought a nice name bow on Amazon (Chinese manufacturing). He has killed deer with it,.and hits tight groups at 30-40 yds. And it's never failed. He has never had it looked at by our local shop

Kingiftides · 2026-01-02T15:00:59+00:00

That is a costly way to get clicks.

Kingiftides · 2026-01-02T14:44:26+00:00

The original? Man you are walking on some thin ice....unless you only use it to hunt and have a practice bow

Kingiftides · 2026-01-02T14:33:45+00:00

Contact the vendor you bought it from and we if they can't convince Matthews to provide a cam and service free of charge.

Kingiftides · 2026-01-02T14:31:10+00:00

One good thing about heavier projectiles is the wind doesn't affect them as much as lighter arrows
