row_33 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I really wasn't up to appreciating the partaking in a Laphroaig that everyone else was so excited about. For a retiring gentleman at the firm, I was asked what we should get him. I stated that any man would value a good bottle of whiskey. The women took offense at that somehow, I started back at them like when Charlie glares back after a burn on Alan, I guess it's ingrained to think there is no diffs?

Seasons1992 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Heaven Hill white label, cheap and very good. Old Overholt is a great cheap rye, and now they make a Bonded version at higher alcohol which has a lot more flavor. Bulleit is my normal go-to when out and about. My favorite that can be found at most bars would be Knob Creek Rye. My all time best I've tasted is Willett Rye. The older one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to be at the liquor store when it arrives here in OH to get your hands on it. Highly recommend the Woodford Reserve. Another good one, out of Utah, is High West. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Right now I've got a bottle of Woodford Double Oaked, Bowman Brothers, and Hibiki. Really enjoying the Hibiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put down a bottle of Woodford Reserve over 2 days on Xmas. High West is awesome. Met the owner / founder at a seminar during the food & wine festival at epcot. Real nice guy & cool story. Their campfire is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Trace can be hard to come by. We aren't able to bring it in often. We scored some in December for the holidays and I pulled one off the shelf for me before the customers got to it. The last time we were allotted it was in May/June. But BT is not a rare as Blaton's bourbon, we get allotted maybe 2 cases a year and that goes within hrs. We got a case in december, no one told me it came it, and it sold out within 2 hrs. Woodford is fantastic, I tried it a Dave and Buster's and was blown away. But my finances from the holidays was a little tight to buy a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad has a bottle of 30 year Laphroaig that's amazing. He also owns an honorary square foot at their distillery in Islay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) When money isn't an issue, I go for Jameson. What I drink on a budget is Evan Williams White Label. It's bonded, so it has more alcohol in it. I usually drink my whiskey with a splash of water, so depending on my mood, I usually just add a bit more water, and less whiskey, it lasts longer. It's hard to find, but it's less than 20 bucks for a big bottle. Usually lasts me 4-6 months. There's a local Texas brand called Rebecca Creek that's pretty good. Anybody else enjoy a glass of whiskey while puffing on a good cigar? 17 hours ago, The_Dude said: This thread is a thread for people who appreciate whiskey.

shiner13 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 How do you Whiskey? So I have really gotten into the smokey stuff, Ardbeg is one of my favorites at the moment. Also really enjoy Hibiki. For bourbon, I would have to say that Larceny is a good every day drinker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Trace sounds like what the American west pioneers said when they tasted the stream water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I usually keep a bottle of Bourbon in the house for when we have guests, and occasionally I’ll have a glass of Bulleit or Whistlepig (VT local) neat. I was back in CNY over Christmas break, and a few friends and I got together and played some pitch. The host had a bottle of Tullamore Dew 18 year that we passed around until it was gone. So smooth and delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I wish I liked it. Seems like a good drink to appreciate. However, I can't get past the fact that every single one of them tastes like gasoline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
