Nice pick up! I have a single barrel on the way; chose that over the small batch, but can always get small batch shipped.

I decided to pick up makers cask strength today (never had it)...not bad!

I've heard the Maker's Cask Strength is quite good. I have been enjoying the cask strength bottles from several brands, not because I enjoy the heat, but more because I can add a few droplets of water and bring it down to my liking.

I picked up two Stagg Jr bottles (127.9 proof) for less than $50 each the other day, and in my opinion, these may be my favorite sub-$50 barrel strength I've had. I might even go back and pick up a few more bottles to hoard.

Now, if only I could get a bottle of Blanton's SFTB, I would be a happy camper (but that's definitely not a $50 bottle...).

Yes, quite good in fact and I enjoy the subtle profile changes to the glass when using one bottled water ice cube.

I really enjoy the Maker CS - far better than their flagship brand and the 46 (which I've never really liked). When MM first released the CS, it went for something like $75/bottle where I live. It wasn't worth that, but the price has come down significantly - definitely worth a try.
