Favorite Whiskey?

Oban is a great whisky. Laphroaig and Lagavulin aren't for everyone. Also good to know where they are made as that greatly affects flavor.

 

For some context, my next door neighbor helped a friend upgrade the suspension on his Jeep. They spent literally all day on it, all four corners. My neighbor is a scotch drinker so my friend sent me $100 and asked me to pick out a bottle for him. I don’t know the first peating thing about scotch so…here I am.

 

Laphroaig actually created what I consider to be the best whisky ad ever made based entirely around how divisive it is:

Yeah, I was probably drinking something as well. I associate movies with alcohol for some reason.

I have no recollection.

Ends like mid sentence.

 

I love Oban 14. I think my favorite in that price range is Balvenie 14 year Caribbean Cask.

 

But seagulls don’t have armpits…

 

Same for me Balvenie 14 year Caribbean cask, absolutely my favorite.

 

I’ll take one at that price if you want to pick it up!

 

Celebrate a good weekend with a good pour!

 

Chased my tail all weekend. I think I made some progress. Cheers.

 

Such a huge fan of Henry McKenna.

 

You're a good friend. I might have gone a different way...

 

Ok I have to ask, what is going on with that cork?

 

First pull opening this bottle the cork broke. So I used on I had on hand lol. Sharp eyes though.

 

If any of you plan to visit Nashville this is a good read.

Took a weekend trip to Louisville, unfortunately I didn’t make the Old Forester distillery, not open on Sundays.
Had some good stuff at Mitchers.

sadly they didn’t have anything special for sale.
On to Evan Williams. The he black label is my go to for cheap drinks. Did the tour which was informative. Perks of the tour, you can purchase the 12 year. Very smooth.


They are doing single barrels of their new Rye series, 6 Square. Wasn’t overly impressed with the tasting

 

Excellent Michter’s lineup, what was your favorite?

 

Toss up between the barrel proof and 10yr.
I have the straight bourbon on my shelf but haven’t opened it yet. I’ll be enjoying that one as well

 

Thanks for posting this! I'm in the middle of planning a road trip that goes through Nashville
