Favorite Whiskey?

No, happened to come across it at a locally owned shop. They had 6 bottles, I picked up three and should have bought all of them. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the JD SBBP as store picks? Have you?

 

I misread. Ya they are in store picks, heres one.

Definitely recommend the Middle West. This is the cask strength, haven't had the standard version. Super spicy, like baking spice or cinnamon and vanilla. I've heard it described as tasting like a freshly lit firework.. and I get it. It does not have a traditional rye flavor to me (which is better for my tastes)

Definitely a winner.

 

It's hard to find good stuff around here. The Class 6 sometimes has good stuff but they just put it out and it's gone quick.

 

How many would you like?

 

Lol, beat me to it. The middle west pumpernickel is available here too at $139

 

Is this that Middle West Pumpernickel? They have it at total, I might just have to try it.

 

not in Jersey yet even asked beam state manager

 

Will see if I can get you a bottle

 

Nice! That is my "white whale". You should trade me for my WLW. LOL

 

is it supposed to be a national release? I know the 7 year CS which was 1 or 2 years ago was only distributed to OH and PA

 

It’s a limited release, not going to all areas.

 

time to go shopping, thanks guys

 

Finally…and it’s delicious.

 

Yes, just the cask strength version of that one. Never had the regular but if it's similar it's really good!

 

Ready for some playoff football. Really enjoying the first few sips of this Ch.7. Smooth and sweet.

 

Copy that, I thought this was the cask strength. I'll pass and keep an eye for it. Thanks.

 

For the first time ever in SC, I saw a Weller on the shelf! I mean it was Special Reserve and $50 but still. I let it sit there. I've had it once before. At $25 retail, it makes sense. But not at $50. There are many better bourbons in that price range.

 

Cask strength has a small white band at the bottom of the tube. If you strike out let me know, I should be able to order one here.

 

For Christmas my wife had a fairly larger stocking stuffer for me, a whiskey smoker:



I didn’t know what to think of it at first, but was excited to try it. Last night was my first chance to use it and I only have Mitcher’s Rye in the cabinet. My initial reaction was… It’s different.

Admittedly it grew on me as I finished the drink and then I had an epiphany. I’ve been trying to find a good whiskey to sip on at night while camping and I really wanted to find something that pleasantly tasted like a camp fire, if that makes sense. At last I think I found my answer, this smoker really hit the note I’ve been searching for. My biggest question now is, what whiskies hold up better to this cold smoke process?
