Favorite Whiskey?

Much like Alabama’s 19-0 record and the Golumpkis I polished off for dinner…this bottle is gone.

 

Not a bad Tuesday.

 

My wife and I were celebrating her great aunts life (105 when she passed), I didn’t open any whiskey or bourbon (as my wife prefers gin), but it was surely a toast to life and a gift she sent via her will. Cheers folks hope we all live long and prosperous lives, share, and pass it down to those we love.

 

I’m jealous

 

Good score this week, I know the Eagle Rare is good. My boss, who’s had some good suggestions for bourbon brought me this IW Harper 15 Year. Said it’s a top 3 on his list. I can’t wait to try it this weekend.

 

A pour for the dodgers

 

Nobody cares about those Smurfs …

 

I guess I am nobody. Sticking with the same distillery tonight.

 

I’ve had a Harper 15 in the back of my cabinet for at least 5 years, maybe I’ll open it this weekend

 

I’m new to the super fancy stuff, got this today.



This is their more rare stuff I guess.




They said the weller came in 2 hours before hand.

I wasn’t exactly a huge fan of the weller. I like four roses single barrel if that helps show my preference. Was looking at trying some of the Japanese stuff next.

 

I don't know that I'd call those bottles rare per se... If your looking to try Japanese that bottle of Hibiki Harmony is a great start. Can't see the price, but it's currently around $80 at low retail. Used to be less but Japanese is very popular and prices have gone up.

 

hibiki is $90 according to my uncompressed pics

 

Keep an eye out at Costco, I got a bottle there for $60

 

That's a good average price, not a steal (like Costco) but not robbery. I paid $99 for the two I have on a shelf currently. I was frustrated trying to find it for under 100 & just said "fuck it, I gotta have it".

One of my favorite days of the year when I see that shelf full of Hibiki for so cheap

 

Just about anything Jameson.

 

Holy cow 70 for weller sr. Don't ever make that mistake again. Regular BT tastes better.

 

SOLD. Wegmans was out of my go to Ezra Brooks and I said “Let’s find something from tacomaworld.”

 

good to know on the hibiki

bt like Buffalo trace? Which weller would you reccomend? Trying to spend less on fancy beer and more on better bourbons since my dad bod/beer gut started.

 

Weller 12 then Weller Antique, in that order. But, hard to get and usually way overpriced. Google "wheated whisky" to see other wheaters that are more reasonably priced.

 

Also highly recommend EH Taylor. One of my favorites.
