Favorite Whiskey?

Not bad, IW Harper 15 Year is way better though, $15-20 less too.

 

Round 2

 

How is that? A place next to me has it for 40 but I passed not knowing much about it

 

I’m curious on this as well. Saw it at the TW in Denver and it’s one I don’t see where I live. @SwampYota

 

it tastes just like Noah’s Mill.

 

I do like Noah’s Mill, I guess for 40 bucks it’s worth a shot

 

you could spend $100 on 10 different bottles to try them all, and the countless hours of tracking them down. Or spend 135…it’s for 4 roses fans obviously.

not my thing but still nice to be offered

 

True. Opportunity cost is a thing.

 

I love me some four roses but I have this for now.

 

I haven’t had any in while and it made eye contact with me. Always an enjoyable pour. Cheers.

 

If only I could ever find IW15

 

Come visit. My area is lousy with it.

 

just opened this I have tried and still have single cask whiskeys but I have found
over the years that it is a crap shoot on what you get. But that is me everyone to
their own is my motto from my great grand mother's country

 

I went back to TW tonight in Denver and picked up this bottle. It’s the 51% corn and 44% malted barley bottle I asked about. It’s different than what I normally drink, but it’s not bad. To me, It’s got that scotch vibe but no peat. I missed the tasting day they had yesterday, and if I would have tasted this, I probably would have passed because it’s just not the flavor profile I go after, but that’s ok. Good to try new things.

And…of course, served in nothing but the finest Towne Place Suites Coffee mug

 

Some high west double rye earlier tonight at dinner and then some eagle rare as I finish a small kitchen project.

 

Poking around a handful of wine and spirits stores in southern France. Came across Eagle Rare twice and Blanton’s once. Approximate USD prices would be $65 and $120 respectively.

France is much more interested in Japanese whiskey than American, based on the selection.

In Paris now and hoping to run across something unusual.

 

Cracked this open after a week on the road with my son for baseball. A bit of a celebration drink for me, getting to watch my 18yo kiddo and his baseball team qualify for the 2023 Connie Mack World Series!

This is a really nice bottle!

 

Congrats!

 

Well damn Heaven Hill said they were going to send a check to cover the moldy bottle of Elijah Craig rye, but here I am a month later empty handed.

 

Man down this weekend.
