Whiskey, Bourbon, Scotch

[RedinTheSky]

Buffalo Trace makes an excellent cheap whiskey, Old Number 8.

I think my next bottle will be WL Weller. Wheated bourbon.
I liked the wheat whisky at Wigle.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Evan Williams is my go-to bottom shelfer.

Finally tried Glenlivet. I can see why its so popular, very drinkable/smooth. That being said as scotches go its a far distant second to Balvenie Doublewood.

 

[waif]

It struck me as kind of bland. Smooth, but just not that interesting to drink.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I enjoy Glenlivet, but yeah. It's nothing special. Double Wood is damn good.
Havent had it in a while

so the local bottleshop I frequent bought a single barrel of Buffalo Trace and had it bottled. It's fucking delicious. It has easily become one of my favorite bourbons. I need to go buy another bottle. The owner also bought a single barrel of Old Forrester, and he said it makes the most phenomenal Old Fashioneds. That sounds good, but I'd rather have another bottle of the BT

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Had no idea you could buy a barrel

 

[unknown]

Yeah. A few of the reputable bottleshops in LA have done similar with Four Roses and other distilleries

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

125 proof
good stuff

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Im out of Buffalo Trace again. I think that's 8 bottles since March or so.
On to Makers 46

I bought a bottle of 2 Gingers Irish whisky recently, because it was a little cheaper than Bushmills/Tullamore/Jameson. I can't really recommend it though. A little too rough around the edges.

Thought about mixing up the bourbon selection, but it's really hard to argue with 1.75 L of Evan Williams for $21.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Buffalo Trace is $21.99 at Meijers and $22.99 at Shop N Save down here.
100x better than Evan Williams

While in Vegas, my buddy who is getting married bought us (five people) shots of Johnnie Walker Blue as a thank you for the weekend...I don't even want to know how much that cost

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

awesome!
was it good?

 

[unknown]

it was! I've had it before. I'm not a huge Johnnie Walker fan. Double black is probably my favorite

 

[MasterOLightning]

Buffalo Trace is $21.99 at Meijers and $22.99 at Shop N Save down here.
100x better than Evan Williams

Yeah, for 750 ml that's a good price. No doubt Buffalo Trace is way better, but I'd rather get an entire liter extra of Evan Williams for the same price.

Blue Label is $20 a shot and up here, so I can't imagine the Vegas markup on that. It likely would have been cheaper to get a full bottle at the store.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

oh shit, I didnt see that. lol
