[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 500887, member: 1723"] Seem to recall another thread when this was discussed, prolly from you. If so that's a huge shame. I haven't had any of the recent production and am not inclined to get any in right now as I have some older stuff put back. I guess I also find that kind of surprising, since the folks at McC are some of the most consistent blenders out there. Yes of course there are annual variations in the crops, but with a seasoned and experienced blender they should be able to smooth out these variables. At least that's what I'm led to believe. That is, unless a particular variety is no longer available that had a distinct stamp and the current replacement is a semi-adequate substitute. Perhaps like the older and much lauded FVF which had a particular variety of African VA which is no longer produced? In any case could it be down to it being young and needing time to mature and come into it's own? There again I believe you have stated you prefer this young and fresh, correct me if I'm mistaken. And of course, I've already stated my fondness for 2015 so this got my attention. Blah, blah, blah... I'm feeling wordy at the moment. Funny what a couple of pints of my own ale will do! :cherry: Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
