Favorite Whiskey?

And where it's everyone buying Bookers?!

 

I got mine at the Jim Beam American Stillhouse. Plenty in stock

 

The local ABC stores here in Central NC. They almost always have Booker's.
Never any Buffalo Trace, Blanton's, E.H Taylor or any other BT product. Except for Eagle Rare. You can at-least find it about 90% of the time.

 

Buffalo Trace showed up here again, after being absent for a couple months. I'm collecting a stash!

 

Must be nice. They limit us to one bottle a customer when it comes to town every 3-4 months.

 

Evan Williams- Cheap but fantastic taste. A+

 

Love me some Monkey Shoulder ...

 

It has come highly recommended. Will be trying next weekend with a friend

 

If anyone likes Irish Whiskey then try ...Quiet man

 

I need to try this one out, Ive seen it around quite a bit down here.

Popped open my bottle of Yellow Spot over the weekend and I'm really liking it a lot. Love that it's a bit higher proof than normal Irish @ 46%. Gives it just a little extra touch of warmth going down, very nice.

Still need to pop open my Pedro Ximenez sherry and try it. Wanted to have some and see if it'll help me identify that note in various whiskeys.

 

Agreed. It is between Evan Williams and Very Old Barton for my favorite cheap (non-wheated) bourbons. I picked up a bottle of the Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond from the Heaven Hill distillery. I've heard it is good, but haven't opened it, yet. Only a few dollar premium over that black label.

This is a really good idea!

 

@Misplaced Nebraskan, there is plenty in Nebraska

 

Your emoji game is on point
I think the bottled and bond stuff is interesting. I've only had a couple. McKenna and something else I don't remember. But the history behind them is pretty cool.

 

Picked up these two on Saturday.


And building my collection. I did have Hibiki and Woodford Reserve but polished those off. A year ago I only had 1 bottle of whiskey. And now I am all into looking at watches. Damn Tacoma World. Always spending my money even if its not on my Tacoma. ha-ha.

 

I didn't like the IW Harper 15 year when I 1st opened it. Thought...what a waste of $75. Went back to it after it had breathed for about 2 weeks and it really opened up. Good stuff with lot's of Oak.

 

So this doesn't help then, does it?? Took it, gosh, five years ago. Back when my go-to was 1792 bourbon (and it was still called "Barrel Select"). Anyway:

 

It doesn’t help at all. That is one nice omega.

 

Went to Indianapolis this weekend for another volleyball tournament with my daughter. We made a stop along the way. Found a couple I haven't had before and I couldn't say no to a backup bottle of Buffalo Trace.

Funny story as well. I went in to a very nice newer liquor store with my daughter. They never really seem to care as long as she does not touch anything. I carried up my soon to be purchase to the counter and the sales associate asked for both of our id's. I laughed and asked how old he thought she was. He said early twenties. I said, 13. He asked her to go stand outside and didn't seem too happy about me bringing her in. He said that she must be at least 21 to enter per state law. I apologized saying that we are from Ohio and that isn't an issue there. I will have to remember that next time I go to Indiana.

 

Every time I open a new bottle of Mitcher's I ask myself. Why do I keep buying this god awful Bourbon. About 2 weeks later I try it again, after it's had time to open up. Then I remember why I keep buying it. Goood stuff!!
