Favorite Whiskey?

With the extras you can do your own thing. We are etching on demand.

 

Our barrel sold out in less than 2 hours.

 

Badass!

love the tater sticker

 

We went back and forth, originally I was against it , but based off the fact that I’ve seen bottles that sell for $30 sell for $150 just because of the dumbass sticker , I gave in, it may be part of the reason if sold out so fast today.

 

Lol yep those stickers basically sell themselves

 

I'll let ya know if it comes across any secondary markets

 

Local Total Wine had Bulleit Bourbon Barrel Strength and a Bulleit 12 year Rye, has anyone tried these? Never seem them there before, didnt pick up either as im trying to cut back on spending.

 

I got to sample the barrel strength at the overland expo a couple weeks ago. It was much better than the standard orange label offering. I'm not a fan at all of that drink, but I left with a changed mind about the barrel strength.

 

Went for a cruise and came home with this:

 

Actually reading some bad reviews. Hmm, we'll see.

 

I saw it in the store and was intrigued. Also read rewviews and decided not to buy. Let us know hiw it turns out.

 

I think I paid $44, so at that price, I'm honestly happy with it.

I am definitely not a good reviewer, however it has the Rye spice, and oak on the nose. At 100 proof I feel it's just the right amount of bite.

So far I like it.

 

I was curious so I poured a second glass of Booker's. Was going to do a Baker's comparison, but it wasn't opened yet.

To my untrained palette, I want to say that they have a very similar profile, however if they were electric guitars, the Knob Creek would be at a 6 or 7, and Booker's at a Spinal Tap 11. Longer finish, more bite, more flavors, etc.

As per my usual, I sample from a Glencairn, but then have a pour in a tumbler with a

$14 Ticent Large Ice-Cube-Tray Silicone Ice-Cube-Mold 2" Ice Cubes for Whiskey and Cocktail, Pack of 2

large cube of Fiji water ice. As the ice melts, I get much more honey flavor.

 

Not sure how many of you guys (and gals - @Cuffs) have tried the Legent, but I'm a few drams in and it's decent. Can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something different about it. I like it, but not sure I'm going to buy another bottle.

I did just crack open my Macallan Edition no. 4. I'll give that a try in a few days.

 

I'm more on the like side. 70/30 on Legent right now. I'll be grabbing some more next time.

3 parts Monkey Shoulder
1 part Simple Syrup
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 egg white

Mixed whiskey and egg white in iced shaker
Poured over ice. Added lemon juice and simple syrup. Stir.

Pretty damn good and the egg is awesome. Gives a great viscosity

 

A little Blanton's Straight From the Barrel

 

I'm partial to Irish Whiskey. Maybe because the majority of my DNA is Irish, or that I've been there a couple times. My favorite is Middleton Very Rare, followed by 12 year old Redbreast.
