Favorite Whiskey?

FRyeday anyone?

 

Man y'all weren't lying about this one. Delicious.

 

I’m in.

 

yes sir!

 

I consistently find this to be one of the tastiest bottles I have under 100 prf

 

Shit is really *really* good.

 

55% Rye counts in my house. I need to pick up a Rocket Top next week.

 

Since we're talking 4R SiB, my current bois:

 

I have never even seen one these available locally. Nice collection!!

 

Think about how incredible it is to have gotten 5/10 recipes just in two little ole counties in NC.

 

goes for both Michters 10s….they drink way over their proof point

 

I was just gifted a Jacob's Pardon 18 year American Whiskey. I had never heard of it, but at 142.7 proof, it's probably hot.
Any of y'all ever had it??

 

There are some good reviews out there. This is 99% corn “light whiskey” which means it’s distilled between 160-190 proof and aged in new uncharred oak or used charred oak barrels. Which means it’s high proof and low oak flavor.

I have a light whiskey which is a Canadian hazmat, 28 years, and it’s one of my favorites.

If you like a creamy viscosity and the baking spice profile you ought to really enjoy your bottle, based on what I read.

 

It’s going down!

OG vs. new boys.

I picked the bottles and my wife poured the blind. I will report back on my rankings later tonight.

 

Giving these 10 year ryes a run here.

 

2022 was a good Stagg year. I predict Stagg 22A > Still Austin > Grizzly.

Also due to the proofs and differences in profiles I think you’re gonna know what you’re drinking despite the blind.

 

Are you prophet?

1st place Stagg = cherry and cinnamon delish
2nd Still Austin = spice and oak
3rd Redwood Empire = light tasting / young? honey.

 

Everyone’s palates are different but it’s hard to beat a Stagg

 

I'm torn between these two. Both are excellent. Gotta lean towards the Michters due to the cost difference.

 

Yesterday's bottle share. Probably a dozen and a half people
