All whiskey's start clear and then they get most of their flavor and all of their color from the barrels they age in. I can only imagine that stuff tastes like gasoline. The double wood is awesome.

Ri1, Jim Beams primeium Rye, really good, lots of spice but smooth on the throat, got it as a gift and haven't found it in a store yet. WhistlePig, probably the best rye I've had, pricey at $80 a bottle but I've made it last for a month so far Bulliet Rye, awesome and cheap at $23 and a great introduction to rye.Old Overholt, best sub $20 bottle of booze I've had, also happens to be a rye... made by Beam as well.

Members kanamvar32 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks for the list. Got a good suggestion for a bourbon around $80. Might as well pick up a WhistlePig and a bourbon and spend the anticipated $150 on those 2 instead of a Pappy (since they seem to be way more expensive than I thought haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, perhaps I'll get the Pappy, and after I finish it (i like to savor fine alcoholic beverages, but they will be finished eventually) I will fill it up with Makers. Then I'll have major snob cred with that bottle on my bar haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cibyl Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have so much whiskey right now, Scotch mostly. Hosted a tasting back in late Jan and have several bottles left over, Balvenie, Highland Park, Glenmorangie, Aberlour, etc. Also have some Laphoriag Quarter Cask and 18 yr old that I've not even crack open yet. Last night enjoyed some Wild Turkey 101. Love Bourbon,...probably more than Scotch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm more rye to try. You'll have to give the WhistlePig a shot too, it's 100/100 but you'd never know it was 100 proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nakedzen Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Pretty different from your usual, for one, you're supposed to cool it in a freezer prior to drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mamberg Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 for bourbon, I find the best bang for the buck is 1792. followed closely by Jefferson's and Woodford Reserve, but the 1792 is usually a few bucks cheaper, and just as good. on the scotch front the Laphroig quarter cask is on the top of my list, although the 18 year is a bit smoother, less smoky.

Members Cirrus Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 This thread makes me happy, much prefer whiskey to beer... for some reason it doesn't give me a hangover like beer does. Though it does turn me into an evil alter ego version of myself, but that's really funny for me so it's another win. I like to have something cheap on hand to take to parties when the aim is to get drunk, maybe something like this; Because I'm a cheap bastard (Scottish, don't you know!) and then I don't care if anyone else wants to have some. Then something to just have a wee dram of on boring week nights when I'm not practicing or gigging - something I enjoy the taste of and savour a bit; And then something really corksniffy just so I can point to it and say it's there. Maybe break it out when the queen comes to stay in my castle or one of my enemies pegs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
