I found a bottle of LL/ME17 at a local LS and was excited to get it but I found it too bitter and astringent on the finish for my taste. I traded samples with someone who had a LL/ME20 and found it just as good on the nose and palate entry and way nicer on the finish. YMMV.

Good to know! Thanks!

Great review.. I have the LL/ME 17.. I had never had RR 10… IMO this laser code is fantastic and seems like there’s older juice in it.. I’m on the hunt for LL/ME 20.. cheers 🥃🥃

I have LL/ME 17 and it is far better than regular blends. Has several similar flavors as RR 15. Yummy

I picked up a bottle last week but I haven't opened it, I'm kinda shocked you say it's worth 120, maybe that says more about the state of the bourbon market in 2024.

@@thomashardy1851 luckily there was a lot of it around so if you really wanted it, probably could have gotten it. Also, the market does seem to have calmed down since…

Got the same laser code as well. Did the 20's come to the area? My initial thoughts were, welp, never hunting laser codes again 😂 have to see if it changes after the first crack. Smells and tastes pretty on profile to turkey products. I'm also not the biggest fan of them too so might be a little over critical

[@illby1971]

How did you both "mix" each others glasses up, but have them in the exact same lineup when tasting?? Seems suspect, lol.

🤷🏻‍♂️ happened randomly!
