Best Whiskey

[crusse10]

Thoughts on Fireball?

I used to drink it (straight and chilled), then I stopped. A couple weeks ago a friend said I had to have a Fireball and Coke. It was the most disgusting liquor drink I've ever had.

Guess my palate has matured.

I'm not a fan of the honey.

has anyone tried to mix it?

The only thing I've found it useful for is an ingredient in pecan pie.

Obligatory anti-corn whiskey post here.

Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey is the best whiskey made in America. You can pick up a bottle for under $60.
There are fine single-malt Scotch whiskies available in the $50 range. Bowmore. Balvenie. Macallan. Etc. The ten- to twelve-year-olds you'll find in this range don't have near the depth of flavor that their older brethren have, but they are (in my opinion) way better than the syrupy sweet corn whiskies of Tennessee and Kentucky.

If you're willing to stretch it to $65-$70, it's easy to find a 10-year-old Springbank, which is the finest distillery in the world.

In Knoxville, McScrooge's out at Cedar Bluff has a great selection. I don't remember his name, but the guy who does their buying knows his stuff.

k: I love this stuff. Co-worker bought a bottle for me for Christmas last year. If anyone is ever in Denver you should take the tour of the distillery here in Downtown. It's free, takes about fifteen minutes and you get a free shot at the end.

WHy don't you mail me a bottle.

WHy don't you mail me a bottle.

Pm me if you're serious.

It's a great sipping whiskey. Smooth with a great flavor from the charred oak barrels they age it in.

The distillery let's you sign up to volunteer to bottle for a day, they give you a bottle for your troubles. I've been on that list for a while now...

I love drinking Fireball straight, mostly because there's really nothing to mix it with and I usually end up doing so after I'm already intoxicated.

I guess it depends on what kind of whiskey you've had

That stuff is disgusting. I went ahead and tried it anyway but I knew there was no chance I was going to like it when my gf told me to taste it because it was the only whiskey she'd ever liked.

Bushmill Black Bush Irish Whiskey is about $38.00 for this size. Excellent!!

That's exactly the one I was thinking of. :hi:

Am I the only one that likes rye whisky?

I am serious but I prob don't have the cash for it right now. How much does a bottle run?

I also don't think PM's are working right now.

George Dickel 12 and Redbreast Irish

My jack single reads 94 proof on the label, that is why it is the best from lynchburg

 

[milohimself]

^ Pretty average for actual whiskeys.

 

[crusse10]

My bourbons always seem to clock in at 90 proof. That works for me.

Has anyone had the Ridgemont Reserve 1792? It was only $30 at my local liquor store. I read it was decent and the official toasting bourbon of the Kentucky Bourbon festival. I'm just curious. The price is right.

I prefer others at that price, but it's worth a shot.

 

[theFallGuy]

I think the cheaper bottle of Eagle is the about the same price but I really want the 17 year bottle and it's $50. Just dont' know if I can swing that much.

 

[golfballs]

Tried Knob Creek or Elijah Craig?

I like those in that price range.

 

[golfballs]

You could try Bulleit or Buffalo Trace. I think 1792 is on this level.

 

[theFallGuy]

I've had Buffalo Trace and KNob Creek and they are good.

Never had Elijah Craig. I'll prob just go with the Eagle if you think Ridgemont is on the same level as Buff Trace.

 

[golfballs]

Try Elijah
