Favorite Whiskey?

Let me see what I got. Likely nothing comparable 1-1, but maybe I have volume. Will pm you when I can inventory.

 

In reading about these trades I realized I would absolutely watch a reality show about people trading whiskey / buying/selling secondary. I’d be glued.

 

Something I'll drink is better than something that'll sit

 

Another new one tonight…key #4 to those that are wondering lol

 

Last night:



And tonight some Buffalo Trace neat, it’s beautiful.

 

Personally, I prefer bourbons. I've never been able to get into Canadian or Irish Whiskeys (I had a bottle of Blue Label gifted to me and it sat forever because I just couldn't like it).

Kentucky:
-Basil Hayden's
-Maker's 46

Texas:
-Top Shelf Fave: Garrison Brothers Single Barrel Select
-Favorite for an Old Fashioned: Balcones
-It'll get me drunk on a budget fave: 9 Banded

 

For you non South Carolina folks, this is amazing. SC never has BT or Blanton's. I've had them and they're good. But I'm not chasing them or paying high prices. Went into my local after eating dinner. They had BT 1L for $36 and Blanton's 375ml for $40. I feel like these are correct prices. Added them just to have them as they're so hard to find. But currently enjoying boozy caramelized bananas with the JD.

 

Apparently I went beige tonight. Lol

Just got back from a work trip to Dallas. Was hoping to find Eagle Rare but the only place online I found it was $75. No thanks.

 

Blanton's I consider to be an above average bourbon and over hyped, but I do love the Blant Grenade 375 bottle.

Also that JD SBBP is not to be fucked with. If WT Rare Breed weren't a thing, I'd probably call it the best bourbon in the price range.

 

My wife and I capped off the night with that JD SB, which I never would’ve tried without the encouragement of Mr. @jandrews. We had it in the glencairns and enjoyed small slow sips. She said caramelized bananas, and butterscotch. If you haven’t had it already, it’s a fun one.

 

Rare Breed tonight.

This is one of my 375mL decanting bottles I mentioned a few pages back:

 

Glad you guys like!

Credit where it's due, @JoeySauce and others on here said it was gonna be good, and they did not mislead me.

 

Yes! Even my gf that doesn't like whiskey, likes JD SB.

 

Learned from this vid at about 4:15 that all WT Rare Breed is now non-chill filtered. Sweet!

 

Not yet. My whiskey consumption slowed a lot with kids around, but I'll get to it eventually

 

Couldn't agree more on the JD SBBP and Rare Breed. Plus, those are typically available almost everywhere. Excellent bottles.

 

Tasting night!

 

Good lineup, well, the 3 I’ve had were good.

 

Starting the evening off right

 

Ive got a few of the Blantons, but I really would like to track the little bottles down..super cool bottle you got there.
