Favorite Whiskey?

18 year seems to be an easy get for me based on online inventory

 

Speaking of Bowman Bros, has anyone ever seen this? Look at that proof, hot stuff…

 

My favorite attainable scotch. I need to resupply. Costco usually has it the cheapest.

 

I have yet to try the 18 but will someday. $180 a bottle is a commitment!

 

More Woodinville for me while my little tyke has a 2022 vintage, non-alcoholic of course.

 

I finally found a four roses barrel strength at a little liquor store!…but, they were trying to sell a BevMo pick for 280

 

Guess we have a good price here

 

Still rough for an 80 proof

 

The last bottle I purchased was in Ireland at the Jameson distillery. That was several years ago. I asked a “worker” at the tourist shop why I couldn’t find it back home, and she shrugged her shoulders.

The only one better than the 12, but it’s hard to get here in the city of saints.

 

I’d take it.

 

Lol. You posted below the Oban 14 post, thought we were talking about this 18 year old;

 

i did not know Oban had an 18.

 

Supposed to be very good, but is it 3 times the price of the 14 year old good? Maybe, maybe not. But some day I'll find out. They also have Little Bay and Distillers Reserve. I've had the Little Bay and it was good. Liked it as much as the 14, but it's about $20 more. So mostly drink 14 but get LB occasionally. The DR is priced between LB and the 18. Not had that one either.

 

I’ve had the LB. It was good.

 

Yum

 

ohhhh okay, thanks

 

I was aware of it, but I have never seen it on the shelf and secondary prices are sky high.

Given the lineage of A Smith Bowman distillery mashes coming from Buffalo Trace, I'm betting this stuff is basically Stagg Jr. with whatever twist Bowman puts on it. I'd love to get ahold of a bottle but the prices are stupid.

 

I have the 18 year cask strength and it’s a bit hot. Got it as a gift so idk what they paid. I’ve had the regular 18 next to the 12 and I’ve always thought the 18 wasn’t as good as the 12.

 

Fairly certain I can get one for $109+tax if you’re interested
OESQ 59.5%

 

Ehh why not
