Favorite Whiskey?

I'm in it to win it!

Appreciate it . Will let y'all know for sure if I hit this lottery!

 

I prefer Whisky over Whiskey. This is (probably) my favorite:

 

I've got a 6/2000 chance. I just want the likker.

 

dayum! I only went with 1...

 

LOL...I did too and then I told my wife about it and she got 5 more. She's a gem!

 

Got some Old Forester 1897 for the big 3-5 today. Didn’t wanna break the bank with the 1920 after spending almost 3k this past weekend since the commonwealth had a tax holiday.

 

Congratulations, fellow "exactly mid-30's" person

 

Happy Birthday! or a new milestone in growth? 3'5" ? you'll get there someday!

 

thanks fellas. Greatest joy was having my 3 yo and 17mo sing happy birthday to me (even if my wife had to bribe them with cake)

 

cutie!

 

Question on Stagg..what's too much to spend on a bottle?? What's the cheapest you've seen it for?

 

Sr I'm assuming? or Jr?

Stagg valuation around 400-450 for 2017's and 2018's. Goes up slightly for older years. Secondary values obviously. It is very delicious but there's no way I'd personally pay that much.

Mine's getting close to half gone! Little lower than this pic, just last one I found...



I got lucky in a secondary raffle and had about $75 into the bottle iirc...

 

(Sr)
.That's about what I've seen it for..crazy to see those types of numbers for sure.

 

Yup. There is one on a shelf at a mom and pop locally for $900... I asked if they would sell mine on commission!

 

I've been dabbling in tequila lately. Saw this posted by my favorite store and had to have it... I'll report back.

 

interesting. @Kanyon71 may like it...

Curious to your thoughts!

 

I like Don Julio, haven’t tried this one yet. Interested to see what you think.

 

Booker's crew... we've got news on 2019-03 "Country Ham"

 

Interesting. I am pretty aligned with what he said about the first two batches, so I think our palates are fairly similar.

The strong oak and spice finish of Shiny Barrel is EXACTLY what I am referring to when I say it is a call back to some of the 2015 batches. It is among the most recognizable Booker's flavor profiles in the past couple of years. Not saying it is the best overall, but definitely in Booker's wheelhouse.

I'm excited about the fact that he holds Country Ham in high regard, but a little disappointed that some of it is based on high marks for what he says is "smooth", "easy to drink", and "sweet". Those are three things I'm never searching for in a Booker's batch.

Eyes are peeled, though, for when it hits Texas!

 

I have yet to try any of the 2019 bottles, but it sounds like I should wait for 03 to hit the shelves here.

I agree with your assessment though... in Booker's, I'm not looking for something smooth, sweet, and easy to drink. Hopefully those notes are just by comparison to this year's batches, and not compared to other bourbons in general.
