Favorite Whiskey?

Like this? lol, have it on the test and try shelf…maybe tonight?

 

That is a very solid pour. I always try to have one in my cabinet.

 

Been a while. My favorite Japanese whisky - or rather, 'Japanese' whisky.

Haven't seen it in my county for 2 years. @Hook78 snagged me one about 6mo ago to keep me going, to my eternal gratitude. Then I luckily stumbled on a case-worth on the shelf of an ABC in a county I'm frequently in/traveling through and took 2 of them with me.

 

They seem hard to come by. I saw it but decided not to pick up since I have not heard to much about it and the price was out there for me to justify as a sampler.

 

Total wine in Pearland had it last week.

 

What's your review on it?

 

its a little over whelming for my usual taste tbh, but I do like it.

I cant for the life of me tell what the label says

Prideful Goat?

 

CA folks, start checking your BevMos
Gold and OWA are store picks

 

Running through Costco today I saw they had blade and bow at a sub 40 dollar price. My brother mentioned he had picked up a few while in Lexington a few years back. He was missing two keys so I snagged one of the ones he needed. Anyone had any of this juice? At that price I almost grabbed all five keys but couldn't justify that without tasting it. Will review later tonight

 

Good, I bought a bottle and went through it a year or two ago. It’s a little low on proof for me but certainly tasty. Maybe a good summer drinker.

 

Wanted to go low to awesome. Going to try the less expensive this week. Hell my wallet is forcing me to.

 

gimme gold

Solid. Always available and an easy drinker.

 

I thought it is a decent pour. I've got my second key, and can see eventually collecting all five.

 

I've been wanting to try the soft red wheat, and picked up a bottle myself today. I also got the Rickhouse proof for $65. I thought the extra heat for $9 was a good deal. If I like it I think I'll go back for the BiB. I think the blend is interesting that the BiB was all from one floor vs the Rickhouse is a real blend of several different houses and floors.

 

Blade and Bow review

Sweet fruit on the nose and pallate smooth easy drinker. No burn, finishes with a spice note maybe cinnamon. Decent mouth feel. Lingers only for a moment but not super complex.

My mom is visiting and asked for a mixed drink. It is very nice for an old fashioned as well.

We had salmon for dinner. I wish I had done a bourbon brown sugar glaze instead of the season blend we chose. Probably would have been a solid pairing

 

Blade and Bow has been one of my favorites so far. Easy drinker, smooth, and butter scotch was the prominent flavor for me.

 

Ben Holladay/Frey Ranch/13th Colony/Dettling I will buy again, and again. All offer really good value for the money, unique flavors, and you aren't paying $150 for yet another MGP derivative. I don't mind MGP brands if finished right...but I would much rather spend less money on a distiller that does their own distilling, and has the potential to really move into some new territory. I can only sit around so long and wait for a double the MSRP bottle of EH Taylor to come around every now and again.
