Favorite Whiskey?

My latest pickup is this Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve. They certainly aren't unique in doing this, but this blend of malts is selected to make a Scotch that is robust enough to better compliment a cigar.

I'll invite some friends over for some pours and charge them each a good stogie.

 

Gave scotch another try... It’s just not tasty enough for me

 

Had this years George T Stagg twice at a local watering hole. Quite nice.

Took a tour of garrison brothers yesterday. Nice place. Good bourbon.

This has been enjoyable as well.. another TX made product.

 

Started getting into Whiskeys about 3 months ago. Below is my collection I've acquired over that time except for the Jameson.
Not shown is a bottle of 4 Roses Small batch,Bullet Bourbon and a bottle of Knob Creek that I have finished off. I will be buying more Knob and Bullet but not Roses as it is not to my liking.

 

That's a hell of a 3 month start!

Is that Booker's batch the 2018-04? I can't quite make out the label, but it would be green and the image silhouette makes sense. If so, that is Kitchen Table and the last release of this year. It's the only one I haven't gotten my hands on, yet (save for the 30th Anniversary limited release). I'm hoping to get it soon enough, though. Let me know what you think of it!

 

Yeah that’s a hell of a collection to start with. You’re gonna be in no time

 

I'm hopefully on my way. Trying to find a bottle or 2 of Weller and Colonel EH Taylor. But that's even harder to find then Blantons around here.

 

I see Henry McKenna, I have a bottle just cause that’s my last name lol

 

O'l Henry is one of my favorites. 100 proof and Bottled in Bond.

 

Which weller and colonel are you looking for? I can possibly get them for you and ship em

McKenna is my fav sub $40 bourbon

 

Your bottle looks very Game of Thrones with the plant in the background and label style!

 

Seven grand bar in Austin TX. Highly recommend. Good atmosphere. These are two of there 5 American whiskey/bourbon shelves.

Also have 5 shelf sections of scotch and Irish whiskey and what not. Best selection I’ve seen. Only thing they didn’t have that I inquired about was the four roses 130th anniversary edition.

I had the William Larue Weller, George T stagg, and OF birthday bourbon. Really enjoyed the birthday bourbon. May try to find a bottle... My lady drank Elmer T Lee. Great night.

Happy New Years.

 

How much were those a pour

 

Couldn’t give you the exacts other than we had 3 rounds of 2oz pours for $125.

 

We have the original 7 Grand here in So Cal. Very very fun spot, I just hate the $80 Uber tab to get to/from!

 

Nothing like some Tennessee Fire!!

 

Been liking this

 

It is the Kitchen table release. It has a little green card inside the box telling the story of the Kitchen table.
I opened it New Year's Eve. It was my 1st time tasting Booker's. I was a little hesitant when buying it as many high proof whiskeys over 100 proof are not to my liking. And I'm not a big fan of adding water.
And boy was this a treat!! I will honestly say I have never had a better tasting whiskey at any proof.

 

I remember that feeling with 2015-01! Each batch is different, but within a reasonably small spectrum. You just might be hooked .

I'll keep my eyes peeled for a Kitchen Table. I'd love to give it a try.
