Whisky love

[Orrery]

I like Eagle Rare (single barrel offering from Buffalo Trace). Pretty damn reasonable price-wise. Buffalo Trace is great too. I need to pick up some more bourbon.

[redX]

i just recently bought a couple of whiskey glasses (4 of each)

[red]

i like makers 46 as a starter bourbon. more palatable than buffalo trace in my opinion. but i like both. dont like johnny walker black. watered down and tastes like shit.

[vaguerant]

im drinking macallan 12 as a daily (not actually daily).

I'd recommend it or a glenlivet 15 as a good starting point to scotch

[Marw]

What I'm drinking right now!

[pavlovs bell]

real nikka whisky

[pavlovs bell]

i got this right now, it's good

blend of a 12 and 2 year

High West Bourye is delicious.

Off topic but Michters US Whiskey is like candy. I can drink that shit by the pint.

[jake431]

Yeah Templeton is great stuff. I unfortunately drank, with the help of not nearly enough people, over a bottles worth on Saturday.

[Nov Spur]

Tonight I finally finished a liter of Caol Ila I bought back in September. Going to have to pick up another Islay soon, any help picking something other than Laphroaig?

^Lagavulin, Ardbeg and Bowmore

[STFU]

Just came home this weekend with a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail. Its long been a favourite of mine but I had forgotten how good it was.

Probably the best whisky I have ever had.

What's your current favorite whiskey? I prefer Basil Hayden and Templeton to Bulleit (though it has a certain appeal).

Really haven't experimented too much honestly. Just the normal stuff at bars is what I've had... grabbed a bottle of forty creek as I didn't want to drop $40 on my first bottle (hopefully will after trying more)

Totally makes sense. Go to Longman and Eagle - they have a pretty nice $3 shot selection. You can try a lot of whiskies, and for cheap.

[the hall of vame]

wow just opened their menu online... massive.

[jake431]

For trying to figure out what you like, you cant go wrong. Just dont order food! That will set you back...

[the hall of vame]

ill have to end up there one of these days... perhaps youll be there.

the forty creek wasnt too impressive to me, was about as decent as regular jack daniels in my mind.

my buddies dad works for rocky wirtz (blackhawks owner) n recommended me try templeton rye, so shes up next!

[jake431]

You will really enjoy templeton. It's great (and distributed by Wirtz, incidentally).

[Crat]

I'm a fan of smokey, peaty whiskies and was given this Ardbeg Supernova as a present. Like it a lot buy there are less expensive whiskies out there that I prefer such as the Talisker 57N. I visited the Talisker distillery whilest on holiday in Scotland last summer and bought a bottle. Went fishing with my dad later that day and smoaked/roasted the fish over a camp fire. Utter bliss.

Ardbeg Supernova is such a nice dram! Expensive and difficult to get now.

Latest whisky for me:

[Crat]

Nice one! haven't had it in a while.

[Robroy]

Latest whisky for me:

Lagavulin 16 is one of my all time favorite whiskys.

Here's a tip for the noobs out there you can find lagavulin 16 and Oban 14 at Costco on sale for an incredibly cheap price compared to your bevmo or winmo's. On sale it's something like $44 and $55 respectively compared to $60 something and $80 something at bevmo.

I have been drinking as of late Inchumurin 12 and it is such a unique scotch.

Here's my collection. My ongoing favorites are Highland Park 12y/o, and Ardbeg 10y/o. That Bowmore 16y/o was a limited run and is amazing, but I don't think you can buy it anymore.

my latest:

its excellent

[B-Dawg]

Crazy good prices on pours at Alembic in SF

George T Stagg $16

Pappy 20yr $15

Pappy 13yr Rye $12

My home collection hasn't grown much yet. More diverse in boozes than whiskey focused. Not many high quality sippers, more things for manhattans and old fashioneds.

Off the top of my head, I've got Laphroaig 10, Evan Williams 10yr single barrel, Black Maple hill, rittenhouse 100, bulleit rye, and breaking and entering, a bourbon from st. george spirits, which is about a mile from my house.
