Members .homewrecker. Posted January 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2012 what rye do you like the most? ive been doing old overholt a lot lately too - that {censored} is instant chest hair but i dig it I really like Old Overholt, regardless of price, but when you factor that in it's a clear winner. Probably Whistle Pig, but the regular Sazerac and their Thomas H Handy variety are up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members imafat12yearold Posted January 22, 2012 Members Share Posted January 22, 2012 there is very little rye available that has been aged past 6,7,8 years right now because rye was kind of out of style and a lot of this {censored} wasnt around a little while back, correct?

Members pioneerprogress Posted January 25, 2012 Members Share Posted January 25, 2012 Had some of this the other night. Didnt expect much, but was amazed at how good it was... Smooth, but rich, nice depth. Costco brand. They don't actually MAKE anything, so you know it's just another brand, relabeled. I wonder which one it is?

I wonder which one it is? Right, but it may not be simply a bottle of so & so; they probably contracted a distiller to do something. Its much better than a common bottle of standard white label whatever. Anyhow.. give it a try if ur inclined, u might like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cap'n Ahole Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's made by Jim Beam, apparently. Yeah, I read a review & that is why Ihad low expectations, but the bottle I had was wayyy better than an average beam, and THAT reviewer was either a fool or had a bad batch, maybe they've changed a few things from early stages.. who knows.

Members ss454 Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's made by Jim Beam, apparently. I was going to say it looked a bit like Knob Creek...which is my current flavor of the month. Funny thing is I have Beam but I love Knob Creek, Bookers and Bakers...in a whiskey sour! I like most whiskey neat but I'm getting too old for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ironhandjohn Posted February 11, 2012 Members Share Posted February 11, 2012 Mrs. IHJ and I tried a sample of Willett Family Estate 8 year old bourbon at a local liquor store on Tuesday. Neither of us are big whiskey drinkers but we ended up buying a bottle, even though it's pricy stuff for us. Our bottle is #55 from a batch of 180 bottles, I think. Even though it's 138 proof, it's a very smooth, flavorful whiskey that is perfect for sipping. Maybe a splash of water is all it needs, but we drank it straight at the store. http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1055712#moreinfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yanktar Posted February 11, 2012 Members Share Posted February 11, 2012 Today, I found a bottle of my Dad's favorite liqueur, Irish Mist. Haven't seen it in years and am sitting knocking it back from Dad's favorite glass for drinking it: A miniature mug made of crystal that holds about two ounces. I gave it to him when I guess I was 10 or 12. Now it's come back to me after about 45 years and now it's my favorite glass, too. Just for grins, Dad used to lift his pinky while he sipped his Irish Mist--those big meaty machinist's hands! He was one hell of a man and this September will be 10 years since he passed. Thanks, Dad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
