Favorite Whiskey?

Recommendations for a new peaty whiskey?

I typically enjoy the flavor profile of Togouchi blended whiskey, or Jameson Irish.

Looking to expand my experience and dip into other peaty whiskeys. I've tried a few other who's name escapes me, such as dimple pinch, but they tasted like pure ether and weren't my cup of tea.

 

I really miss tastings...due to Covid..
Total Wine would have tastings, as would a local place here in Ma. Julio's Liquors...Nothing now. You have to go full bottle to discover either "eh" or "ooh"....

 

Yeah total wine is pretty great. I used to get the blended Togouchi there for 60-80$, now it's double that since covid.

Sad times.

 

Good news for us Scotch Whisky drinkers. 25% tariffs on UK whisky and cheese was suspended yesterday for at least the next 4 months while negotiations occur for a long term solution. Hopefully we see prices drop!

 

You could try Te Bheag Nan Eilean. It's a lovely, blended unchillfiltered scotch. No peat-monster, but just enough to let you know it's there. I first bought a bottle to mix with my Drambuie (love a rusty nail) but this was way too nice to mix. Up here it's a bargain at around $40 CDN.

Cheers.

 

Getting ready for a visit from my wife’s sister and the bro-in-law.

 

Idaho whiskey. Not even the slightest hint of potato... this is bullshit.

Really good bullshit though.

 

Bought some of the Uncle Nearest yesterday. I have to say I was a little disappointed.

 

I've been wondering about that Uncle Nearest.

 

Been looking for it for a while

 

I see it all the time, but have never bought it because I have bought too many bottles that I don't really like.

 

switching it up. Not bad but not great, prolly won’t buy another bottle.

 

Man. That’s one of my favorite “can-get-anywhere” bottles. I really want to find a barrel strength expression.

 

Little to fruity for me, I’m a buffalo trace fanboy though. Like to try other brands every now and then to shock the tastebuds!

 

OF Rye old fashioned kinda night

 

I think it’s great at its price and available all day. Give it a few more months and the hype will take it off the shelves, too.

 

Kirkland (costco) 18yr single malt is best deal around. Really good and much cheaper than the big name brands. It's sourced from Scotland, but Costco doesn't reveal which distillery they use. And they use a different one each year.

 

I’ve had this bottle for like 2 years. Just can’t get into it. For my taste regular buffalo trace is a better pour imo.

 

Blasphemy! LOL. I luv 4 Roses Single Barrel. It’s so hard to get around my parts.

 

It sits on the shelf around me haha
