Favorite bourbon/ whiskey...

Makers or Wellers for bourbon

Old Smokey pecan whiskey

But who am I kidding, it’s kesslers in the glass each night!

 

Blantons

Buffalo trace for the cheaper stuff when I can find it!

 

Had a nice week with a company expense account...

Liked:
Macallan 18
Lagavulin 16
Oban 14
Ardberg 10

Disliked:
Michters 10 (surprisingly)

Also, I was at a bar that was charging $90 a pour of Thomas H Handy... A bottle of which retails for 89.99

 

Last night some clients of mine invited my family and I over for some diner and drinks. I got to try two new Irish Whiskey’s. Both were very good!

The Knockmore was very smooth. I’ll be adding this to my collection.


The Teeling Vintage Reserve 21years old was Excellent! It was bottled in 2015 so it already 24 years old now. It was very cool of my clients to let me open the bottle since their both whiskey fans. I’ve helped them remodel their whole house inside and out.

 

Had a glass of Cragganmore 12 last night after dinner. It's a nice little Speyside.

I've been wanting to try some bourbons. Almost snagged a bottle of Buffalo Trace last night, but ran out of time. Any others I should look for?

 

Are these available in the states

 

I don’t know if they are. They went to the distiller and bought them there.

 

My favorite is Bulleit Bourbon... I like the 10 year the best... not the most expensive out there, but my taster tells me I like it... just look through this thread a little and you will find many suggestions to spend whatever cash you have leftover from mods!! Good luck and happy tasting! Cheers!

 

I just emptied my bottle of Jack Daniels Barrel Proof, debating whether I should pick up another... It's great, sort of like an in between of Elijah Craig BP and Stagg Jr in terms of flavor

It's $55 at Total Wine here, definitely a bit pricey but really good juice that's still easy to find

 

That was my second choice. Glad to hear it's Tundras approved. LOL. This thread is certainly a great help...and a bad influences. LOL

 

The right tool for the right job! #Amiright

 

I know it's a blended but it's hard to beat Crown Black

 

Well, I picked up a bottle of Buffalo Trace today. Gotta say, I really enjoy it.

Smell: Hints of eggnog (ya, really), caramel and cherry

Taste: Caramel, dark chocolate and cherry.

 

Dont open that bottle. Its value may go up now that the distillery collapsed.
Several restaurants that we visited in lexington werent sure which way to go as it was a very significant amount of barrels that got destroyed

 

Had 4 roses recently in lexington and enjoyed it, neat and with ice, havent tried larceny but i hear it gets good reviews.

 

I drink quite a bit of 4 Roses Single Barrel. Good stuff.

Pusser's Navy Rum

 

I’ve been eyeballing that... do u get a good taste of the honey or is it a lost flavor that you can only find while burping?

 

It's far from my favorite, but lately I've rediscovered Chivas Regal 12yr. My wife won a bottle in a work raffle and it's been sitting as a turd on my shelf for years. Sipped neat, it's a very pleasant scotch with a nice malty molasses and brown sugar flavor. It hints at just enough "scotch" flavors (pepper, wood, etc.) if you're just getting into it. A lot of similarity to my ~$140 Glenfiddich 21yr bottle, but very watered down and muted in comparison. Also very cheap ($20-30) and often comes in a nice gift box with glassware.

 

Bought a pint of Wyoming Whiskey last weekend, and my only thought drinking it was...where has this stuff been all of my life? Will definitely be buying a .750 the next time I find it.

 

Okay we need to classify whiskey into categories.

1st, 2nd or 3rd drink you drink the good stuff. After that, if you want to keep going, drink some Evan Williams.

No need to drink good stuff once you drunk. Personally I like a nice Speyside scotch, that slightly floral, sweet tinge to the scotch is my favorite. Glennfidich is good stuff, but then again I'm a budget drinker.

 

This is my favorite whiskey right now, but probably because it’s basically a Japanese scotch.


Favorite scotch would be something from Ardbeg or Laphroaig, depending on my mood.

 

The current collection: Larceny, Taylor small batch, Taylor single barrel, 2017 George T. Stagg, Eagle Rare single barrel, Elijah Craig single barrel, Elmer T. Lee, four roses single barrel, Aberlour Abunadh, IW Harper 15, Blanton. My favorite changes but probably the Elmer.

 

Did someone say Evan Williams?
Yes...ima cheap bastard...but I gotta nice Tundra!

 

Makers Cask strength

 

I’ve really enjoyed my 12 yr Balvenie so I decided to try this 14 yr. I’m definitely enjoying this one!

 

This single malt scotch whisky was recommended by a local liquor store. He said they don’t get it often and if taste amazing. I haven’t tried it yet but looking forward to trying it. Anyone try this one before?

 

I have not. I’m not much of a lowland fan but this stuff sounds like a lot of the flavor is coming from the casks, so it might be pretty tasty. Report back when you try it!

 

I get the Caribbean Cask Balvenie often when I got to a particular local place. Quite good!
