Favorite Whiskey?

Joining in





Giving this a test from a conversation I had recently about this.

Nathan "Nearest" Green is the godfather of Tennessee Whiskey and taught Jack Daniels distilling techniques. Jack Daniels hired him and he was the first master distiller for JD.

Well cheers to that!

W.T.F. (hidden on there behind DB) are y'all drinking?

 

Sticking local... Gonna have to pick up a couple more of these!

 

How is Uncle Nearest?

 

not bad. not really worth $64 out the door to me.

The distilery notes:




I learned awhile ago not to trust those but I like reading what "they" tasted and gives me something to look for. I usually read reviews and then taste. That's how I'm "training" myself.

What I got:

Mellow nose. Fruity. not sweet fruity, but like stone fruit (cherries mostly, but still had to search for it) as suggested above. pleasant. I didn't get the other smells. Definitely bold and spicy and transitions to "sweeter"
relatively Meh finish. Gonna do a comparison to Jack at some point for fun, but I would say overall... average to me. Kind of wishing it was a 375ml instead of 750 but it'll get finished eventually. Curious to go back to it after a bit and see if it changes.

Got that for my birthday last month, friend saw it at Whole Foods & thought of me. I'm enjoying it!

 

Having a little Glenfarclas 105 tonight. Cheers everyone

 

Stout pour too!

 

Man down

 

I’ve been pounding the eagle rare as of late. Back on the normal buffalo trace tonight though.

 

Lately Eagle Rare has been easier to find, so it’s my go to. I’ve got a few bottles on hand

 

Killing it!

 

BT 11 year store pick. W.T F. are you drinking?

 

What is a good price on the e h Taylor?

 

Small batch was around 30 bucks, now closer to 40-45 near me. Single barrel used to be 50 bucks, now closer to 70-80.

The increasing prices have me pursuing other bottles now, especially since those are stuck at 100 proof. EHT is good stuff though, so if you find it at a good price go for it.

 

Thank you for the fast response... The small batch is $49.99 and locked in a cabinet Haha.. first one I've seen myself.

 

Pretty much all I have been enjoying during quarantine

 

That's one of my favorites, but not easy to get. I grab one whenever I can and squirrel it away. I think I have 5 now.

 

Off work the rest of the week. W.T.F. are you drinking?

 

How do you like it? I picked up a bottle but haven't cracked it yet.
