Favorite Whiskey?

Frenchie Gary approves of Eagle Rare

 

I'm stealing that Bookers box piggy bank idea, thanks.

 

Anyone have experience with High West Prairie Bourbon? My local Target has a surprising amount of good brands in stock and saw this on their list.

 

This too is at my Local Target. I have a $35 giftcard and can't decide what to get with it.

 

There is a nice little gap between the box and acrylic for coins to fit right in. It's perfect!

I'm trying to get a little sign made that says "Support the Pour".

 

I have nothing but good things to say about Eagle Rare

 

Adding to the Booker's, I just received this Euro release of what is known here as "Dot's Batch". It's the 2015-02 release. Really cool bottle!

 

That's badass, congrats!

Mmmmm Booker's.... I'm currently on some Beam myself.

 

Thought this snap came out great!

Still one of the best 40 dollar bottles you can get. Rare Breed and KCSB picks are value KINGS

 

VERY cool picture.

That stuff really is a great value.

I'll join you with a pour here in a bit. Just picked up Slurpees with my girls for now.

 

Man... SLURPEES. Been a real hot minute since I slurpee'd lol

Kinda want one now more than I want whiskey

 

Anybody in Utah? Would love to visit this distillery. I'm going to keep an eye out for the 2020 Bourye release, the previous version was very tasty!

 

That's cool.

 

Slurped with a whiskey topper.

 

Ok brother, going to take your word on it.

 

Finally cracked one of my Scotch tater bottles



It's like the standard lineup Ardbeg An Oa, but with more sherry and more peat, and less brine, and likely with a little more age. I love An Oa and equate it to BBQ Ardbeg... lots of smoked meat notes to it (I need to replace the bottle I killed). This one is more like smoked fruits - cherry and plum mostly, with a finish of pure Islay peat goodness that wanders off to coffee and cocoa. Damn good finish for 46.5%. It's very good, but I shouldn't have given in to FOMO to get a few of these from overseas. The committee release version is 55%... and I'll wait to open that one another day.

For my palate I put this one somewhere between Ardbeg An Oa and Laphroaig 10 year old Cask Strength Batch 10. The flavor is intense, the alcohol is not, and the finish puts it ahead of An Oa for me.

I can't compare this one to Corryvrecken since it's a different beast entirely... but I wonder what would happen if I dumped a Corry into my finishing barrel... I bet it'd come out similar to this Dark Cove.

 

WTF are you drinking tonight?!?!

 

I really wanted to bag one of those at the lottery

 

Finally got to try RVW (for $14!!!).

It was the first bourbon I’ve had that could compete with Wellers 12y.

 

Good price! You try any of those Staggs or the William Larue Weller?
