Whiskeybrah checkin in

Just cracked old pulteney 21 2 nights ago. Was good but not for what it cost. Bought the Valkyrie and had a sample during the release, it is awesome. Crazy Japanese selection. You’ve also got some real peat monsters in there. Crazy that I’m not even a huge scotch guy but I’ve tasted almost every scotch you have... starting to get more into the peaty stuff though.

It’s so hard to get the van winkles here in Canada, just got the small batch eh Taylor though. Haven’t tried it yet

[MrBourbon]

Is Old Crow a decent, cheap bourbon?

Pay the few bucks extra for Crow Reserve

[EnriqueBrah]

finished this off last week

Jura doesn't receive as much attention as it deserves overall, imo.

Unaware. Will be looking for this one next time out. You guys like the Superstition or the 10?

[Firefightn24]

I've had both and like both. Superstition has some peat in it, so just keep that in mind if you like smoke. It's a blend of their heated and original from what I know.


My parents just came back from New Orleans, and my dad managed to snag two bottles of Blantons from a store there.

[HoustonMiscer]

I am drinking Crown Royal right now, will try Egg Nog and Crown later on this month

[SabreOscar]

Picked up a bottle of Glenfiddich 12 for the weekend.

A non-whiskey bro of mine is giving me his bottle of Eagle Rare 10 year that he didnt like. Ive never tried it, if I dont like it at least it gets added to my growing collection.

[HoustonMiscer]

Hi guys how is your night going

Hi guys how is your night going

Jus chillin', reading about bourbon. Does your house smell like curry right now?

[sloop]

I've really been enjoying this cheap bastard. It doesn't even make sense how this stuff is only $10 for a 750 but tastes so good.

Maybe it's a little "light" and not as full bodied as others, but it's sweet, kind of banana tasting, easy to sip neat or with a couple ice cubes, and is available everydamnwhere. Don't tell Buffalo Trace, but I like it so much I would easily pay 2-3x the price just because it's so tasty.

lol That's 40% and you're adding ice? No wonder its easy to sip



Anyone have more diamonds in the rough under 40-ish bucks? Already have monkey shoulder and Evan's single barrel
I have about 3-4 cigars im smoking today, need a good sipper.

[sloop]

lol I like cold drinks, never been a fan of room temperature neat drinks but I'll do it occasionally.

You just sip and thats it? Or cigars/snacks/meals?

I could see if I was doing it solo with nothing else I'd want it a little chill. But watering down 40% is like.....idk bruh....I need a wee bit stronger than that! haha

I was going to buy that Pikes Creek you posted earlier, but then I found Angels Envy for 45$ for 750ml and hear it has a 96 ratting right now....have you tried it?

Yeah I just sip AA while watching movies with the wife or during the Cavs game last night.

Pike Creek is pretty good. If I were to taste it blind, I would think it was a rum with some added bourbon notes, not the other way around. We mixed some into egg nog the other night and it was real tasty. Yes I've gone through a "few" bottles of Angels Envy too 45 bucks is the average price here in Ohio. I like it a lot, but I like several in the $25-30 range considerably more to make AE an everyday sipper or 'go to' drink. It's definitely worth a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

if you're into sipping rum, Appleton Estates 12 is hnnnngggh af but it has a high tobacco note in it. But a great sipper, never drank it cold though so profile may change.


Thanks for that bruh, give me some of your 25-30 high recommendations!!! I think you posted the Single Barrel Evan's, I bought that and everyone in my cigar lounge who tried it went that night and bought their own bottle. Super good!

Couple cheapies less than/at $30 range:

Elijah Craig
Larceny
Evan Williams 1783 ($17!!)
1792 Small Batch (the Single Barrel is $40 and is really good if you feel like splurging)

[Firefightn24]

Picked up a few bottles today.

Glenlivet 12
Buffalo Trace ($20 here)
Jameson to replace my bottle that's about out.
Woodford Reserve as a Christmas gift.


One of my favorites is Laphroaig 10, and I'm taking it to a family dinner party tomorrow night to see what they think. My dad is big into bourbons, but I don't believe he's ever had a smokey Scotch.

[Kiefer 2004]

Has anyone tried the Glenfiddich 14 yr Bourbon Barrel Reserve?

[MrBourbon]

The 15 "La Santa" is better, but that one is awesome too. What do you think of it?

[fmylife4real]

Just found out about this the week before last and cotdamn it was so good. Need to find some locally!!

[peterplsss]

Like most things, it depends on your budget. I think you can get really good stuff for less than $45.

Some of my favorites:
Angel's Envy
1792 Single Barrel
Henry McKenna Single Barrel
Larceny ($28'ish)

There are a bunch of really good reviewer sites, plug in a couple of those and see if the reviews sound like something you'd enjoy.

My favorite review sites are https://distiller.com/ and http://www.breakingbourbon.com/index.html

Put in another vote for Angel's Envy. It's my go to

[Firefightn24]

Had some last night. While it doesn't blow my mind like some people make it out to, it's pretty good I'll give it that. My father opened one of his two bottles last night when I was over at their place.

I'm used to Evan Williams and Jim Beam. Blantons was definitely a step up lol

[DolphinPenis]

Drinkin' Woodford Reserve tonight boyos.

[Firefightn24]

Had a glass of Laphroaig followed up with Angel's Envy.
