nobody Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Barrel proof EC? Oh man, I am jelly. Cant find it here. Probably one of the most difficult affordable (for now) bourbons to find out there. I've only gotten my hands on 2 of the 12 releases. But it's like liquid manna from heaven.

ubkev Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Had about 3 fingers of Eagle Rare as a victory dance for my wife getting her very first brand new car tonight. Now I'm on glass 2 of Crown Royal. I might be a bit tuned up. That debate really got me drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I've got a bottle of Berheim's wheat whiskey (Heaven Hill distillery - same folks that make Elijah Craig) in my cabinet. It is really soft, subtle stuff. Nice change of pace but generally I like more complexity in my whiskey. If theirs is anywhere near as good as Bernheim's I'll be impressed. Finally got around to locating some Bernheim. I do enjoy it very much. Very mild and gentle. Soft and subtle are good terms for it. 51% soft winter wheat, 39% corn and 10% barley malt. I do love the wheated whiskeys; the wheaters. The Weller's & Larceny of course I would love to try more of those outliers. The high wheats, high oat, high triticale, If I ever won the lotto I would start up a distillery and play with all those weird grains. Make plenty of moonshine, vodka and gin so as not to lose my shirt as the whiskey ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those bottles is a 12yr. They don't make any better. Now that I can afford good bottles again I need to break those out once in a while. They've been collecting dust for about 4 years now. *I know that monocle is around here somewhere* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12 year are my favorite of the 3 (then OWA followed by SR.) Of course BTAC Weller would be in another category I hope to enjoy someday. They've all become as rare as anything nowadays.

Of course BTAC Weller would be in another category I hope to enjoy someday. They've all become as rare as anything nowadays. Same order for me too. When I first found Weller Antique, a retailer in Brockport was selling it for $19.99 for a 1.75L bottle. Not a mis-type. Before everyone knew that Weller was the same recipe as Van Winkle they sold the stuff for cheap. I was crowing about how good it was to anyone who would listen. And then bourbon blew up and those bottles of Antique went to $24.99, and then $29.99, and then you couldn't find it any more. I don't think I've seen a 1.75L bottle of Weller in 5 years. Maybe longer. the 1.0L bottles are going for $30+ now....... when you can find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds intriguing: http://www.liquor.com/articles/butternut-squash-old-fashioned/#gs.eVFcs4A I just so happen to have about one and a half bushels of squash in the basement. No idea where I'd find that banana liqueur though. Maybe I could make my own....... It does sound intriguing. I made an apple cinnamon infused bourbon last Fall. And I've got a ginger, carrot infused vodka in the cabinet that makes an awesome savory martini type thing. Dammit, Bio. Now you've got me interested.

inkman Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Drinking 15 year Glenfiddach tonight. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 So I'm 2/3 of the way through my trial pack (50 ml of 12,15,18) of Glenfiddich. I'm drinking the 12 year as I type. What makes Glenfiddich, Glenfiddich and what differences between the years should I be looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Went to my uncle's house and he gave us a real good taste testing. Midsummer Night's Dream, High West Bourye, and Belle Meade sherry bourbon. The latter two were my favorite, the first was a little intense for me. The High West is amazing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 We are bottling a new whiskey at my company. Its called Cask & Crew. Probably not for all the snobs but its not bad. There is Rye, ginger and walnut toffeee flavors. Hopefully, you will enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
