I'm not a fan of Knob Creek, but many love it....I wouldn't call it junk, it's just not my drink. There's something for everyone. Last edited by Salty Dog; 03-27-2020 at 06:39 AM.. |

I think Angel's envy is probably as good of a bourbon you can buy... and it's very good but definitely not my style. Any other high end bourbons worth trying? I usually drink Single Malt and love the Sherry bombs...

I've been to Bourbonfest a number of times and toured a number of distilleries. I've had Pappy 23, 18 and 12....they were ok but I didn't like them enough to dig that deep. My favourite so far has to be Jim Beam Distillers Select, not cheap at about $250 but OMG.....again, my favourite but it might not be what everyone likes.

On my last trip to the liquor store (most recent? hate to sound morbid) I found a Lagavulin special - the Offerman Edition 11yo. Should make for some quality social isolation time. Also got some Bulleit Barrel Proof 'cause I was almost out of the Knob Creek. Assuming they are about to shutter the entire state this weekend, so it seemed prudent to make one last run.

God of War is my favorite game series ever! Got hooked since the first game from so long ago.
I was watching a video on YouTube yesterday where this couple went to a bunch of distilleries in Scotland, and Bowmore was one of them. Right now I have $700 worth of whisk(e)y bottles in my cart at Total Wine that includes: Bowmore, Highland Park, Dalmore, Bunnahabhain, Oban, Balvenie, Dalwhinnie, and Aberlour. At some point I will hit the buy button...at least for some of them. 😆 |

That one is good. Had that same one that I brought back from Japan one year but it was the "Masters Select" version and that one was super good. Looked for that same one again last year when I was there and couldn't find it anywhere.

Here are some recent (last week) bourbon trail pickups and a few I can't get locally from stores (Balcones and Sagamore)

It's pretty good, not Hibiki or Yamazaki good though. Came at the recommendation of my friend who lives in Japan and is a whiskey guy. Best part is that it was only $12/bottle. I actually drank one bottle and told one of my other friends who was traveling there to get me another one but he said that they discontinued that specific one and was hard to come by but he was able to find me the last bottle at one of there stores and brought it back to for me.

I've seen nothing but praise for New Riff. That Hancock Reserve is a nice bottle, too. I need to get my hands on some stuff from Smoke Wagon. |

Kavalan makes excellent whisk(e)y. But they are all really a matter of personal taste. I used to work with this woman at the Centre of Forensic Sciences, Ph.D Forensic scientist. She loved J&B.....who am I to judge.
