Favorite Whiskey?

Happy birthday!!! Cheers

 

Maybe the Eagle. Its now my go to chill out in front of the tv stuff

 

Happy Birthday!

 

I like eagle rare quite a bit, but sometimes it goes down a little too easy

 

This thread is on page 484, going to be a while making my way through, in the meantime.......These are my go too favorites, one for sipping neat and one for mix with Coke Zero. The revolver is my grandfathers NJ State Trooper handgun from back in the day.

 

Wow, yeah she is. I got a new lunchbox from the GF for my birthday...

 

I mean, if it was a DBZ lunch box...

 

Quarantine Day.... something...

hat tip to @bvbull200 for the help!

Decided to make a label for my Infinity Bottle. Printed on Label Paper (all I have right now). Will have to order glossy for the final though. Thinking about shrinking the label and putting the list under it vice the bottom. I could see some "what's in this again" moments leading to a mess

What say y'all?

 

Love it.

Put the ingredients list on the back like the info labels often are on bottles.

 

Awesome. Where are labels from

 

Looks amazing!! Have you sampled it yet?

Also.. do you have a cradle for this bottle?

 

Only took off the back label for this but may clean it all and put a more legible list on back.

I made it today

No sample yet. Been mixing it a lot though. Possibly tonight...

No cradle for this one.

 

Love the label, can’t wait until you give it a try. I want to know how it is. Nice job guys on the creativity of the label.

 

Feeling a little 'Old Fashioned' this evening.


I'm making bee food again, which happens to be the exact same thing as simple syrup. So I stole a splash from them for my own purposes...

 

I suspect it was an Amazon special, from the state of one of the zippers

 

I agree. I think a 100 proof version is is in order. Already 10 year old age statement.
We need 100 proof, 10 yr, and add in a Single Barrel. All for less than $40
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner !

 

Play Metallica to it lol

 

Should laser the label on the bottle. If only we knew someone who could do that.

 

OK... Here we go...

First off, I am TERRIBLE at picking out flavors and nuances. I'll do my best to describe though.

I shook and turned and tossed this bottle numerous times over the past 24 ish hours

Color: Just an awesome caramel bourbon color. The thick bottle gives it a red hue, but the glass let's it shine.
Nose: Very mild and not what I was expecting. I thought there would be just an onslaught of scents and some level of heat. "Inviting" is how I would describe it. All I can think of is Ron Burgundy "Drink it in" .Not warm spices but mellow hints of sweetness. I think it is definitely a case of too much going on and only a few flavors remain, but it is pleasant and does not burn at all. No burny scent @Kanyon71 You can take deep breaths of this with ease.
Taste: Fairly viscous. Good mouth feel. First it hits with some sweetness, vanilla/caramel (something sweet and light anyway). That gets taken over by a darker oaky/leather/tobacco profile, but not a strong one. No where near Balmorhea, actually tolerable to me. then there is the burny. It's stronger than the nose lets on for sure. wasn't expecting it. It's got enough to tell you it's over 100 proof but not like some of my Barrel Strength options.
After: The darker flavors linger a little and the burn stays in the mouth and lips. No throat burn.

Final Verdict... I'm sure the flavors will change but if not... I am a happy drinker and feel fully vindicated in this endeavor. It's interesting enough to want to keep pouring more. Curious where it will end up.
