Favorite Whiskey?

Been sitting on this one for a while for today.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all!

 

Saw this one for $75.99 at local store. Are all Kentucky Owls reducing price?

The Takumi Cask came out at $150. Picked up a bottle in NJ around $40 in NJ at the end of last year. Been seeing more and more of that on Kentucky Owl products

 

I paid $60 for it last April. The guy had about 8 bottles of it on the shelf. Not worth it when you can get a JD SBBP for about that much.

Real Irish whiskey this time.

 

To burning the candle at both ends. Cheers.

 

Visited it tonight and I have to say it’s not bad. Hard to point a finger on flavor. Not heavy on the oak. Smooth, warm. Cherry on the first sip then disappears.

Description says perfect balance of grains and oak.

BT goes for 28$ here and this was 32$. So on that scale it’s worth the money to try out.

I’m always trying new stuff and this was local so gave it a shot.

Regardless I think that would be an awesome gift for your buddy.

 

Here in Grand Pairie TX, for a meeting and wanted to try something local, what a great tasting bourbon, I definitely would recommend.

BUT!!! I would not recommend the dam "Smoke Heaven" shop i bought this cigar from. I was wondering why it had such a light draw, went to the light and it looked like an apple that's had a worm crawling through it and punched holes all over it!! Kinda ruined my night, definitely ruined my smoke ended up just tossing it....ughhh

 

Thanks!

 

Tough decisions this Wednesday.

Went with the 107

 

Cheers.

 

I wish you lived next door…

 

Another good man down

 

Yet another good man down….amazing. bottle for sure!

 

Did I miss when you snagged the SiB? That’s a Weller Wednesday right there!!!!

 

Tried a new experiment tonight. 2oz Murray Hill Club, 1 tablespoon of frozen pomegranate seeds lightly crushed, 1 traverse city cherry, with 2 drops of the syrup. It’s like a light old fashioned

Next time I will add a few crushed mint leaves, and a couple of drops of lime juice.

 

Another good man down! As much as I’d like to say I’m the supreme bourbon alcoholic…crushing bottles by pure will and hate…the truth is I have about twenty bottles with only a few ounces left that I’m finally getting the guts to finish them off.

 

I haven’t had light whiskey in a few years. I had a pour of this brand a few years back and enjoyed it. Neck pour was hot!! It reminded me of a ramped up Ancient Age. Mild flavors but hot. I let it rest for a bit and it opened up. Lots of sweetness and the heat really mellowed out. Interesting pour, I’m looking forward to my next one. Cheers.

 

Trying so hard to drink this one slowly but it makes it difficult.

 

Big thanks to Ramon for the TX to MN express. I've seen one bottle of EHT (over double msrp) in a liquor store here and have never ever seen a Weller. The Eagle Rare was from a previous delivery.
