Favorite Whiskey?

Excited to try this

 

trying to make sense of their pricing, it’s completely insane

would have been crushing stagg/EHTBP/birthday bourbon...they have EHTSiB priced higher, crazy stuff

 

My state got flooded with buffalo Trace products this week, bought 4 eagle rares, gave them all away as gifts

 

where is this?

 

it was a little hyped up to me, I didn't care for it. Could be last year's batch wasn't all that great, maybe.

 

I like it, pretty smooth for 125 proof

 

Yea, I didn’t get their pricing and it was overpriced. I wanted to try the birthday bourbon, but couldn’t bring myself to drop over 50 on two drinks

 

see, I felt the opposite, had TOO much burn for 125. like it was immature or something. Peerless is better imho. And of course Booker's is a higher proof and much more smooth, almost no burn.

 

The bookers I have burns a lot, which is weird from what I hear. Probably a weird batch

 

I did a lot of barrel finishing in 2018-2019. I need a new barrel one of these days. I'd age fortified wines like Port or Madeira for a few months and then use the barrel to put a finish on several bourbons and scotches. Haven't tried just double oaking a whiskey yet.

 

Day off tomorrow, enjoying a pour!

 

Tonight's flight. Was very impressed with the Four Roses Single Barrel

 

I (wife and I) also infuse rum. I used the same strategy in that we use the cheapest (alcohol) in a glass bottles. The plastic is a problem. But if it’s in glass then it’s good to go. We infuse rum with banana and vanilla beans or a bunch of other one offs. Blueberry pie was a “that’s fucking amazing but never do this again because we’ll die from drinking too much”.

that’s how I landed on ten high. Cheap glass bottles.

anyway after 3-4 runs the barrels are cooked. No more vanillanin or something like that. It’s been a while and I’ve had a few too many to construct a coherent thought this evening.

 

Not a bad pour by any means, but I don’t believe I’ll be buying another bottle of this. I like OF 1910 much better.

 

Ardbeg shelf is done. Uigeadail in my glass

 

Four roses sb is pretty good... I happened to have some of the Aberfeldy during thr SB... quite enjoyed it....

Here is my VD gift....

 

Uigeadail is one of my favorites, I pretty much love anything Ardbeg

 

looking good!

how many times has the wife come looking for you and said “I thought you left”

no just playing with my bottles
