Favorite Whiskey?

I have 2, 3 and 4-2022 and 1-2023 lined up. Still finishing 2021-3 right now.

 

I can’t enjoy it neat, this is the first time on a rock and I def enjoy it more this way. Which is strange because there are plenty other BP selections I totally enjoy neat.

Me leaving the liquor store when WT101 is half off...

 

Holy shit! Another Booker's guy!

How is it?

 

KC old fashioned at longhorns steakhouse. Not the best but not the worst I’ve had.

 

Where’ve you been? Cheers.

 

You just reminded me that I never re-upped my Unicorn Rub. It’s about that time of year to start firing up the smoker too. Got a link to that group buy thread?

 

I actually laughed out loud at this

 

Should be in my sig!

I'm half in the Chattanooga bag right now

 

I forget if I turn the phone sideways people have signatures, thanks!

 

Happy fRYEday everyone!



I really liked the Woodinville Bourbon, so I’m giving their rye a try. So far it has been really good. The pepperiness is more pronounced than the Sazerac Rye that I tried earlier.

 

One more.

 

hey you guys mentioned Hibiki a few posts back.

Daughter & me had a bottle of the Hibiki Harmony last year. no not the $12,000 bottle... but it was the $1,100 version.
its such a beautiful bottle! kept the bottle to make a night light out of, but my wife threw a fit, so now it sits in the closet.

and again: the whiskey was only so-so. but that bottle was an instant collector piece!

 

Bourbon is a little on the sweet side for me. Now I do love a good old fashioned from time to time. But for sipping, I like me some good scotch whisky or some Powers John Lane single pot Irish whiskey.

Not too much peat in the scotch, though - a little goes a long way.

 

THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

think this is the key to my whiskey "likes".

KY/TN whiskey IS sweet vs most others ive tried & Scotch to me just tastes burnt. thats why my whiskey liking field is so narrow!

excellent & simple point out on your end!

 

Scotch can be peated or unpeated. The peat variety has heavy smoke notes. I think your taste would trend toward the unpeated stuff (Springbank, Johnnie Walker Gold/18, GlenLivet, several Compass Box blends, Glenmorangie, etc).

Sounds like you're already aware that Irish and Japanese are going to give you a more muted sweetness.

Bourbons that have aged a long time (> 10 years) tend to have more oak and less sweetness. You might find those to be your preferred american whiskies.

 

Another bottle kill with friends for home made pizza night

 

Ventured out of PA this morning to grab a wedding gift for a friend and happened on this guy. Looking forward to trying it. I had a different store pick in Seattle a month or two ago and really enjoyed it.

 

I absolutely love 1792 FP store pics. I've never had one I didn't love!
