Bourbon/spirit trade and info sharing thread

[dsbigred1]

If you had to say what your favorite whiskey or bourbon is, what is it and what about the flavor makes it your favorite?

Wild Turkey or Old Forester is my tops. Can’t pick between the 2, because I really enjoy their entire lines. Working on getting the Russell’s 15, and a Wild Turkey 101 12 year. In a raffle for the 15 on Thursday. The WT 101 12 isn’t sold in the US, so I have to buy online

Tonight was nuts… Got to try Weller 107, Pappy Lot B, EC 18, Found North 19 year, Blanton’s Gold, Penelope Rio, Russell’s 13 and 15 year, Maker’s Cellar Aged and the Heart Release, Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend, Blood Oath Pact #8, and Heaven Hill Grain to Glass, and those are just the highlights… Also had Buckners 10 and 17, Hardin’s Creek 11, Penelope Tokaji, JD SB BP Ryes 133.2 and 136.6… what a night!

That’s an impressive list that gives me heartburn thinking about driving it all in one night.

I finally cracked open the Dickel 15 year. Very good.

Really, we are having a pretty small pour of each, but I will say that the Russell’s 15 is incredible. For me, definitely better than the Lot B. I probably tried about 20 or so.

Forgot to post this, I went to a bottle share last Saturday. Here’s a picture of what everyone brought.

Yep. That was the joke when he whipped out.

Never having it myself, I tried it.

I remember my first Malort shot. Guy had a bottle at his house and said it was good. Holy smokes it was terrible

I have only done one shot while already drunk. I think it really helped that I was already expecting something really awful

This is my first spring/summer that I've been into whiskey. My favorite has been the Woodford Reserve Rye. What are some good Whiskeys/Ryes I need to try? Haven't branched out much since I've liked this one so much.

These are always a good start for your money, but kinda more on the hard to find side of things:

I can find all of these in Georgia pretty easily other than Buffalo Trace, Weller’s, and Hirsch. I have never looked for or heard of Old Liberty.

Anyway, Old Grandad BiB is a steal for the quality and price

One of my favorite recent drinks has been High West Double Rye. Very smooth

So first and foremost my dad and I cracked this bottle open about an hour ago. Not sure if I posted about Sazerac in here or not before but it’s tasting really good. Dad then tells me it’s $20 at wall2wall wines in Lincoln. For the price this is extremely good. Made by buffalo trace distillery. We are on our yearly family vacation to Canada for fishing, my wife is irritated because I’m hammering whiskey with dad she’s ready for bed and it’s a SMALL cabin with my entire family), life is good 😂.
Point being, VERY good rye for the price in Lincoln.

Got a Wild Turkey Unforgotten and 12 year today. The Unforgotten is really nice, but I am more excited about the 12

 

[dsbigred1]

Anybody had, and have thoughts about the Knob Creek BourbonxRye?
