Whisky, bourbon or scotch and what's your favorite?

[82_VOL_83]

So visiting relatives in Knoxville (Farragut/Lenoir City area), any good liquor stores around these parts with a good bourbon selection? I see there’s a Total Wine in the Turkey Creek area....

McScrooge's used to be pretty good.

What do you all think about Bookers?

It's decent, I liked the second little book "noe simple task" more than the others. I find a lot of them to be way too hot to be a regular sipper

A reliably good whiskey. I don’t drink it often at that price. It’s also become very hard to find around here. Last batch I got was called Shiny Barrel

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Anyone tried some Peanut Butter Whiskey??

Finally found some of this yesterday, not bad at all!

Love it.

I have seen a few bottles around here, one store has it for $72 another one 10 miles away has it for $90. Is it worth $72?

Yes

Love it.

Clerk at one store said he was mixing it with Blue Chair banana rum. Got his girlfriend’s mom pretty drunk.

Just get it cold.. Stuff is so good

Skrewball deserves its own thread, meaning it doesn't deserve to be in here

Wife got me a bottle of Lagavulin 11 Offerman Edition for Christmas. Pretty good stuff if you like peaty scotches.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

Final Christmas haul: Buffalo Trace, Weller SR, Dickel BIB, and I found Rebel Yell 100 for $17 so I'll give that a try. I took the Eagle Rare to the in laws for sharing but wound up hiding it as it became far too popular.

Cracked the heavens door, very sweet, vanilla tones, smooth finish with little burn. Perfect to drink straight with a cube.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

Initial thoughts on the Rebel Yell 100 is this is a great deal for under $20. I expected a really harsh nose or finish and it’s got neither. And a delightful warming. May pick another one up just to have in reserve.

I mentioned peanut butter whiskey earlier, it was Sheep Dog though not Screwball. Maybe some people have me blocked, lol.

I got to try Weller Special Reserve and Henry McKenna 10 year side by side. Hands down Weller is the winner.
I then scored a bottle of both for Christmas.

I feel the opposite about those two. The great thing about bourbon is that everyone’s palate is different, so there is no right or wrong

 

[Hunerwadel]

I'm mostly a bourbon guy but drink a little scotch now and then. I tried a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue last night for the first time. I must say it was pretty damn good. Is it worth the price? It was for me, I didn't buy it.

Basil Hayden Dark Rye was pretty good. Just tried it at Embers ski lodge in Nashville.

Also had Noah’s Mill 15, which was pretty good but had a little bit more burn than I usually enjoy, but I figured it would going in.

I like to use it for parties because it makes a super tasty cocktail but it only sits at 80 proof so folks don't get too turnt.

Check out Grist’s bottle release coming up Saturday.

 

[BearCat204]

This was pretty good. Not normally a scotch drinker, but I enjoyed it

 

[xJesusx56]

Check out Grist’s bottle release coming up Saturday.

I saw where they were releasing a few BA stouts. I’ll have to get over to the Nations and check them out.

I’m waiting for them to release the Coffee Fluffernutter again. That one was incredible.
