Favorite Whiskey?

X2.....my girlfriend loves it as well!!

 

So my friend came over and we had a little Scotch tasting as we were watching football and tried these three gems. For the record the Blue was still the best, however I would not throw the other two out.

 

I posted the Hirsch as my favorite a few pages back, and HANDS DOWN is an understatement, I wish I could afford another bottle.

On the other hand I bought a Pappy Van Winkle 20 all excited to be blown away and unfortunately the bottle I got was seriously overpowered by acetone fingernail polish remover aroma, real bummer.

 

A wise man once said, "You don't sip whiskey. Gotta DRANK it!"

 

random bump for a (atleast in NC) freaking beautiful march day that will likely end with some whiskey drinking on the back porch. . . wait, what have i learned in this thread? whiskey sipping i mean

 

Anyone know of a good distillery in the Greater Scottsboro Alabama Metropolitan Area (within 50-60 miles)? I've been to Lynchburg and would like to cjeck out another one if nearby.

 

so you have gotten a tour or the jack daniels facility? that's honestly one of the best tours ive ever taken im my life. and it was free!

 

Bump!











Some of my favorites.

 

Maker's 46 is probably my favorite right now..



Anyone tried the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Pale Ale? . . . Its heaven in liquid form.

 

Drank some fine Eagle Rare and Sazerac Rye last night...... maybe one too many.

 

I like me some Eagle Rare. Super smooth, almost like syrup.

 

As of today, Basil Hayden straight.

 

Wild Turkey 101

 

So many good drinks.
Right now, I'm working on a bottle of Cragganmore 12year single malt.

Very smooth... but at $56, it won't be a regular.

 

Cheap: Evan Williams Black Label
Middle: Buffalo Trace

I like Bourbon

 

Can't beat some good ole shine, though. Doesn't get better than straight from the still into a mason jar, into my tummy.

 

Ambassador #498082 here!! Only 2.5 more years until my barrel is ready!!! I've been to Loretto twice now, the second time was for Bourbon Fest... HELLUVA time!!!!!

 

The kind that comes in plastic bottles

 

LOL!

You do have a point though.

When I first saw those at BevMo, I thought "wonderful, that's a DUI and easy to pitch"

And for the most part, it's probably true. I'm a traffic signal tech, and I'm ALWAYS picking those little bottles up from the sidewalk around my equipment....

But last trip to BevMo, I took a look at the display, and thought "Hmm... this is actually a good (if not economical) idea for samplers. I can spend $2/3/4 on a "shot"... it's cheaper than a bar, and decide if I want to drop $20+ on a bottle"

I decided that the Jack Daniels Honey is actually pretty good! I brew Meade, and my last batch came out about 17%, but this stuff was GOOD and SMOOTH!

Still haven't bought a bottle, but it's a whiskey that SWMBO would probably like... and she's more a "Southern Comfort at the strongest" kinda lady.

 

My favorite scotch is this one to drink regularly.
