Favorite Whiskey?

Earlier tonight I started removing what I’ve started to consider guest mixers only bourbons from the kitchen liquor cabinet to relocate somewhere less intrusive. One of those was Woodford wheated, decided to give it another go. It was actually…rather good. Maybe my taste buds are bi-polar. Back in the cabinet it went.

 

Sometimes letting a bottle breath for a while after opening it makes a difference. I found that to be especially true with EH Taylor Small Batch, which took a month after opening before I really liked it. Opposite that, Macallan scotch has to be drank in the first 10 days or so.

 

They sure did raise the price this year hopefully it’s a good one. I may have a spare id trade if a buddy backs out.

 

One Fiddy in your parts as well?

 

Yup.

 

Felt peaty again

 

I’d certainly be interested, let me know.

 

That’s actually how I fell in love with my first bottle of Eagle Rare…

 

Will do. I should actually know tomorrow.

 

Anyone tried this one? They got it in today as well but I don’t know too much about it.

 

crazy, 10-15 would have been okay…50 is just crazy

 

So, I hate to admit, I have no Jack to participate in this Thursday routine. I’ve seen the single barrel stuff you guys have posted…the 131.5 proof for $70ish…should I get it?

 

Yes. Absolutely. Thank us later.

 

Might be their way of adjusting for secondary market prices

 

I had a bottle last year and liked it. Would buy again.

 

I’ve been wanting to give that one a try

 

Rarely, does a bottle of Macallan sit around for that long.

 

Hi guys,

I'm mostly a single malt, smokey and peaty scotch guy. I'm getting more into bourbons and am going to be in Louisville within a week or two and was wondering if anyone could recommend a few distilleries worth visiting? I'm planning on going to Michter's and possibly Makers. Thanks!

 

What he said.

 

I liked the Jim Beam tour for the education about bourbon, minimal sales pitch. The store is ok.

The Evan Williams experience was cool too, no actual bourbon making but you learn the history of EW, Louisville and prohibition. You can get a couple bottles there that are only available at their location, including one that is only available on the tour if you want to buy unique. Plus it's walking distance from Michters, Angels Envy, Old Forester and Rabbit Hole
