Favorite Whiskey?

This made me into a "whisky drinker". Does bourbon count?

 

I wish those tasty Heaven Hill bottles would drop out here regularly. It's been a struggle the past year and a half. Hell last year I never saw the A and B batches near me but luckily I found them while traveling.

 

Wait, that's a fifth of regular Weller's SR for $130!!!???!??!?? I bought a handle of it late last year for $30.

 

Found this on the speciality shelf. Sweet like candy. Nothing more than ice needed.

 

I'm on the fence with the flavored whiskies.
I've been given a Knob Creek smoked maple, Wild Turkey Honey, and Crown Royal green apple. The Knob Creek goes well with a splash in coffee or hot chocolate, and the Wild Turkey goes okay in a mug of hot cider (but honestly no better than Captain Morgan's), but I haven't found anything I like the Crown in yet. And drinking any of them straight up was horrible; WAY too sweet.

 

Last I checked, bourbon is whiskey.

 

I'm in agreement with you. Bourbon and to a lesser extent rye are already sweet, and adding artificial flavor just ruins it typically. I do like the Devils River Coffee Bourbon, it's like Kahlua but with a huge 80+proof kick.

 

For some reason, I really like Bird Dog Peach as a mixer. Super random, super cheap, and pretty cheap tasting. But mix that up like a mule (bitters, ginger beer, lime), it's pretty damn good.

 

Came across an Eagle Rare bottle that might actually satisfy my needs

@Bowhuntercoop check it out!

 

I have a bottle of that also.

 

@Kanyon71 - your next project? BIN!

 

lol. The pic was already posted on the previous page. I've had a few drams of Nikka FTB so not so clear headed.

 

Throwback slightly with some lower proof

 

Shoulda called me! Would have grabbed a big daddy bottle haha. Nice score!

 

I’ll be headed back down that way in the next week or two. They had a few of them, I’ll pick one up if you want. It’s a little hole in the wall in Barnwell, SC

 

Oh we can do it.

 

Agreed, stupidity knows no limits.

That picture looks very familiar. Arf?

Gotcha. Didn’t know it was making rounds.

 

There’s a reason that shelf is still stocked
