Favorite Whiskey?

I tried this Total Wine store pick. It is a bit young up front, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla. Some corn notes, very mellow finish with some lingering honey. Really, it’s not bad at all for $55. @121 proof, it drinks like 100.

 

OK, last taste for the night. 119 proof, it’s supposedly all the rage on review channels. I tasted it last week, and hated it. To be fair, I had another Glenn tonight to make sure.

Upfront, raw proof, astringent, forced aging, young, gross. On the pallet, pure bandaids, and bicycle tube rubber. Finish is like paint thinner, with old muddy pond water.

I’m going to give this to the homeless guy down the road who always has a funny sign (pic below)

 

The wheated is supposed to be good

 

I appreciate the info.

 

LMAO… so you didn’t like it? Thanks for the chuckle! I’ll avoid that one like herpes.

HA, I’ll get it together this week, sons birthday this weekend, no free time

 

Went whole hog on my blends today:

 

what percentage of this goes down the drain?

 

None! I bottle it all, and adjust if it’s off

 

Just ran through a small sample of each. The Amburana stave need to be pulled in about 4 hours or it’s overwhelming. Man it’s good. MWD-Damn The one with the cherry wood staves and Vikings Blod is amazing!!

 

Cheers.

 

Well that was an odd 10th inning, but a wins a win. Cheers



Anybody seen the B release yet this year?

Let me first say, I really like Balcones…except that smoked corn offering…

Glad I just got a small bottle of this one. Not my favorite, but I won’t be pouring it down the drain either.

I was staring at my collection tonight and wanted something different. This fit the bill. I love the nose on this! Cheers.
