Favorite Whiskey?

Monday...

W.T.F. are y'all drinking?









If you have this and haven't opened it yet, , I highly recommend it. Peanuts. That's pretty much where I'm at still for the nose and taste. Strong. Like 3 Ring Circus. The burney is on the back end. Builds nicely. and throughout that whole time... Peanuts. I keep trying to spit the shells out


At the risk of ruining a friendship, I'll only theorize this idea and NOT ACTUALLY MAKE IT... Booker's 2020-01 and Skrewball...

 

You have me scared with all this peanut talk it just makes me think screwball

 

Whole nother realm of peanut whiskey.

Skrewball is a frat party peanut butter liquor in comparison. Like Jäger...

Booker's is a refined experience that you'll want a repeat of. But it still has that spice and heat at the end of a high proofer.

 

Wonder if you could later Skrewball and like Chambord. Would be like PB&J shots.

 

Fancy Beam is usually super peanutty. Can confirm. Cheers!

 

Sadly, At the moment I’m drinking a decent cab with the wife for her birthday dinner.

but.... there’s a Bulleit waiting for my nightcap.

 

Then get off of here!

That's aimed at the birthday part...

Cheers and happy birthday!

 

I have deff had that exact shot and it’s quite the flavor you are looking for. Sweet like a smuckers uncrustable. Can only handle one for dessert.

 

Just finished a Weller special reserve

Next up

 

If I can ever locate skrewball I’ll have to try it out. My wife wants to try it she saw someone doing shots of it out of bacon shot glasses that had been sealed with chocolate.

 

Those sound amazing...

 

If I can find it we are going to try it out.

 

You want some in the mail?
It’s pretty available here.

 

Same here.

I stilI need to go back to a peanut butter bourbon cookie with that one... Then add that to a skrewball milkshake

 

im honestly not sure why it’s not around here.

 

I bet you won't.

 

Like Zach said, it's a different kind of "peanut". Well, I'm speculating a bit on this latest batch .

It's like how some bourbons will have notes of vanilla and then there is vanilla flavored whiskey. The vanilla notes of the former don't taste like the latter.

Booker's, as a whole, has a reputation of having a peanut "funk" or a peanut brittle profile. Roasted peanut/peanut shells, baking spices or black pepper, and a kick-in-the-teeth high proof punch. Those are some of my FAVORITE batches. They got a little away from those roots in 2018, started off 2019 on the wrong foot, then started to come back to that signature profile with 2019-02. I'm super excited about Granny's Batch. Everything I've heard is all about that peanut funk. Fingers crossed it delivers.

 

Gonna have to try it after your breakdown. I didn’t catch any peanut in the country ham which is what I have most recently tried

 

Well since it was mentioned. I’ll have a desert shot tonight.

 

How was it?
