Favorite Whiskey?

Fresh crack FRYday

 

Cool idea, I wonder how much time that whiskey actually spends at sea?

 

I’d love to try this before committing to a bottle. Cheers.

 

Fresh bottle crack for fRYEday. Pretty good, a lot “smokier” than I expected.

 

Bourbon - Knob Creek
Irish Whiskey - Redbreast

 

I could read the neck tag, but I’m too lazy, I think it’s like 6 months

it’s the best woodford

 

I’m still enjoying this. Every now and then an employee recommendation pays off. Cheers.

 

Yum

 

Fresh crack FRYEday here too.

So far it's an even match between the two, neither of us has been able to choose a winner.

Both have classic rye taste in a good way

 

Picked up these cousins today. Also got a handle of Evan Williams for mixing, it’s up $3.50 to $20.99

 

I picked up 2 a few weeks back.

I tried last years batch at a bar and it was excellent. Bought this year's without hesitation.

 

Did you try that taste test blind?

 

Went to Total Wine for some Dickel BNB and left with these haha. Been hearing good things bout Still Austin and love me some Chattanooga

 

Had to give both a try. Stoked on Still Austin cask, will buy more. Had to do a side by side with 10th and 11th anniversary Founders. Both are great, hard to call.

 

I like the Still Austin Cask strength, it’s worth the 50 bucks I see it for

 

Yes we blinded it. I am a big fan of the regular Lot 40 so as soon as I nosed the glasses I picked it out. In the end the Sagamore Double Oak juuuuust barely edged out the Lot40 Dark Oak.

We agreed the L40DO had more richness to it but a slight funk we couldn't identify that kept it from being the winner. Overall both really solid examples of a Rye. I'm more and more impressed with Lot 40 offerings as time goes on, especially for the price. This one was $42, the standard is $30

 

I really like the Still Austin Cask. There was so much hype around in on social media I started to think it was all paid product placement. Was pleasantly surprised. Little different than what I'm used to but in a good way. Some different spice to it. I just booked a tour of their distillery for late September. Looking forward to that.

 

Went looking for a Col Taylor to add to my collection. First store said if they had any, they were locked up in the managers office. The second store I went to said I had to buy one of their store picks to be able to buy a Col Taylor. So I ended up with this Freeland Spirits, they said it’s a Cabernet finished cask. So I’ll see how it compares to the Chattanooga version which I think is rather tasty

Decided on a little BT to round out the evening.

 

Wow that’s a shitty way to clear out their store picks that otherwise aren’t moving.

 

I’m all about the Taylor Small Batch right now! What is this cooling contraption??
