Favorite Whiskey?

If I wanted to try an Old Forester- what would be my best pick keeping in mind I like sweet dessert bourbons at around 100 proof? I don't mind higher proofs if it doesn't drink really hot and have spice afternotes.

 

Hey whiskey drinkers. Wish I could say I did, but drank way too much back in my early Army days in Germany, I just can't stomach it anymore. I am fond of a decent tequila though. I have several in the cabinet, but my favorite is Código 1530 Rosa Reposado. Smoothest I've had for it's price. They rest it for six months in French White Oak Napa Valley Cabernet wine barrels.

I guess to put wheated on the front label, they almost doubled the wheat content in the mash.

 

You should look into Tears de llorona. Price right is just over $200. But it has and continue to go up due to its exclusivity.

 

I’ve read about that one, definitely on my list.

 

OF is pretty much known for oak and drinking hot on the proof.

1920 has a strong medicinal cherry note, but 115 proof.

1910 is double oaked and supposedly a bit sweeter than other offerings.

I'd look at those. But based on your statement, OF just may not be your brand.

 

1910 for sure.

 

1910 is a good bargain, absolutely. I've got the 1920, which is good, but it's not above MSRP "great".

 

People are paying over MSRP for OF 1920?

If you haven’t yet, half and half 1910/1920 is a pretty decent blend.

just picked up Red Breast as well as Tullamore D.E.W.
not bad for the price.

 

I got the Tullimore Dew 12yr and it's delicious.

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

 

Bottle Kill, very nice pour. I finally got some proper glasses, very excited.

 

-we always keep a WF double oaked in the cabinet- it's all the wife will drink now.
Glasses make a big difference!

 

Building my collection:
(there is a Kraken in there too...)

 

Anyone pickup any good allocations this year? Seems my area didn’t get near what we got last year.

 

Boom!!

 

Sippin on a lil low proof Blan'uns tonight.

 

is that the japenese one?
